FreeMaster software …easy control of embedded applications Description FreeMaster (formerly known as PC master) software is one of the off-chip drivers, which supports communication between the target microcontroller and PC. This tool allows the programmer to remotely control an application using a user-friendly graphical environment that is running on a PC. It also provides the ability to view some real-time application variables in both text and graphic form. FreeMaster software is a versatile tool to be used for multipurpose algorithms and applications. It provides a lot of key features, including: Real-time debugging, Diagnostic tool, Demonstration tool, Education tool … Application Usage • • • • Application Features • • • • • Graphical environment Real-time debugging Diagnostic tool Demonstration tool Education tool Target Devices/Platforms • 68HC(S)08, 68HCS12, DSP56F800, MC56F8300, MC56F8100, MPC5xx • Real Time Embedded Applications • Quick Start Software Development Kit • Processor Expert FreeMASTER Application development Parameter tuning Demonstration Remote control Target Board RS 232 Rev. 1.1 FreeMaster software Real Time Graph Stimulators HTML Description Page Variable Watch HTML Control Form/Page Available from Freescale Semiconductor WWW Sources • FreeMaster - PC side application • FreeMaster – embedded side drivers (HC08, HC(S)12, MPC5xx, DSP56F800, MC56F8300, MC56F8100 family) • Application Notes • Plug-in modules (remote connection, planned – BDM, JTAG, CAN) • Application support from Freescale Semiconductor, • Freescale Web Page: http://www.freescale.com/ Standard communication via RS232, or user defined communication via Plug-in modules, e.g. CAN, HTTP/DCOM, etc. PC Communication Library Plug-in Module Embedded Application RS232 Protocol Implementation RS232 Rev. 1.1
