OVERVIEW
The xPC56XXMB Motherboard is an evaluation system supporting
Freescale’s MPC56xx microprocessors. The complete system consists of an
xPC56XXMB Motherboard and an xPC56xxADPT Mini-Module (not included)
which plugs into the motherboard. Different Mini-Modules are available for
evaluating the different devices in the MPC56xx family of microprocessors.
The evaluation system (Motherboard & Mini-Module) allows full access to the
CPU, all of the CPU’s I/O signals, and the motherboard peripherals (such as

DEBUGGING/PROGRAMMING xPC56XX MOTHERBOARD
P&E provides hardware and software tools for debugging and programming
the xPC56XXMB (with Mini-Module, sold separately).
P&E’s USB-ML-PPCNEXUS and Cyclone MAX offer two effective hardware
solutions, depending on your needs. The USB-ML-PPCNEXUS is a
development tool that will enable you to debug your code and program it onto
your target. The Cyclone MAX is a more versatile and robust development
tool with advanced features and production programming capabilities, as well
as Ethernet support.
More information is available below to assist you in choosing the appropriate
development tool for your needs.
4.1
Hardware Solutions At A Glance
The USB-ML-PPCNEXUS offers an affordable and compact solution for your
development needs, and allows debugging and programming to be
accomplished simply and efficiently. Those doing rapid development will find
the USB-ML-PPCNEXUS easy to use and fully capable of fast-paced
debugging and programming.
The Cyclone MAX is a more complete solution designed for both development
and production. The Cyclone MAX features multiple communications
interfaces (including USB, Ethernet, and Serial), stand-alone programming
functionality, high speed data transfer, a status LCD, and many other
advanced capabilities.
Below is an overview of the features and intended use of the USB-MLPPCNEXUS and Cyclone MAX.

Figure 4-1: P&E’s USB-ML-PPCNEXUS
4.4.1
Product Features & Implementation
P&E’s USB-ML-PPCNEXUS Interface (USB-ML-PPCNEXUS) connects your
target to your PC and allows the PC access to the debug mode on
Freescale’s PowerPC 5xx/8xx/55xx/56xx microcontrollers. It connects
between a USB port on a Windows 2000/XP/2003/Vista machine and a
standard 14-pin JTAG/Nexus connector on the target.
By using the USB-ML-PPCNEXUS Interface, the user can take advantage of
the background debug mode to halt normal processor execution and use a
PC to control the processor. The user can then directly control the target’s
execution, read/write registers and memory values, debug code on the
processor, and program internal or external FLASH memory devices. The
USB-ML-PPCNEXUS enables you to debug, program, and test your code on
your board.

4.4.2
Software
The USB-ML-PPCNEXUS Interface works with Codewarrior as well as P&E’s
in-circuit debugger and flash programmer to allow debug and flash
programming of the target processor. P&E’s USB-ML-PPCNEXUS
Development Packages come with the USB-ML-PPCNEXUS Interface, as
well as flash programming software, in-circuit debugging software, Windows
IDE, and register file editor.

Working With P&E’s Cyclone MAX
P&E’s Cyclone MAX
4.5.1
Product Features & Implementation
P&E’s Cyclone MAX is an extremely flexible tool designed for debugging,
testing, and in-circuit flash programming of Freescale’s ColdFireV2/3/4,
PowerPC 5xx/8xx/55xx/56xx, and ARM7 microcontrollers. The Cyclone MAX
connects your target to the PC via USB, Ethernet, or Serial Port and enables
you to debug your code, program, and test it on your board. After
development is complete the Cyclone MAX can be used as a production tool
on your manufacturing floor.
For production, the Cyclone MAX may be operated interactively via Windowsbased programming applications as well as under batch or .dll commands
from a PC. Once loaded with data by a PC it can be disconnected and
operated manually in a stand-alone mode via the LCD menu and control
buttons. The Cyclone MAX has over 3Mbytes of non-volatile memory, which
allows the on-board storage of multiple programming images. When
connected to a PC for programming or loading it can communicate via the
ethernet, USB, or serial interfaces.

Software
The Cyclone MAX comes with intuitive configuration software and interactive
programming software, as well as easy to use automated control software.
The Cyclone MAX also functions as a full-featured debug interface, and is
supported by Freescale’s CodeWarrior as well as development software from
P&E.
P&E’s Cyclone MAX is also available bundled with additional software as part
of various Development Packages. In addition to the Cyclone MAX, these
Development Packages include in-circuit debugging software, flash
programming software, a Windows IDE, and register file editor.
