Overview
P&E’s USB BDM MULTILINK is an easy-to-use debug and programming 
interface for Freescale’s HCS08, HC(S)12(X), RS08, and ColdFire V1 
lines of microprocessors. The USB BDM MULTILINK is a member of 
P&E’s family of USB Multilinks, which allow the PC to communicate with 
a target processor through the USB port of the PC. The Multilink con-
trols the microprocessor by accessing the debug port of the target. 
The Multilink’s speed and reliability make it ideal for development. It is 
supported by P&E software, Freescale’s CodeWarrior, and other third-
party software (available separately). P&E’s Flash Programmer software 
can be used with the Multilink to program internal and external flash 
memory devices. The USB BDM Multilink also works with P&E’s In-Cir-
cuit Debugger software to control the target processor’s execution, 
read/write registers and memory, and perform full C source-level debug.
For an advanced interface which additionally supports Ethernet and serial 
communications, provides power to the target, and offers several auto-
mated programming solutions, the Cyclone PRO is also available from 
P&E and Freescale. More information on the USB BDM Multilink and 
Cyclone PRO is available at www.pemicro.com
