Microcontroller Debugging

First Steps

Since the initial steps for creating a project are similar, the following information provides
an example of the first few steps of the New Project wizard that apply to creating an
HC(S)08, HC08 or RS08 project. Debugging code using the CodeWarrior IDE requires
that a project be created or exists, which specifies a connection that can be used to debug
the code. This section guides you through the first steps toward code debugging with the
CodeWarrior IDE and the following connections:
HCS08 Full Chip Simulation
HCS08 Serial Monitor Connection
ICS MON08 Interface Connection
HCS08 P&E Multilink/Cyclone Pro Connection
HC08 ICS P&E Multilink/Cyclone Pro Connections
SofTec HCS08 Connection
HCS08 Open Source BDM Connection
RS08 Open Source BDM Connection
NOTE The initial project creation steps for RS08 Connections mentioned in Book IV -
RS08 Debug Connections are similar to the first steps mentioned in Debugging
First Steps Using the Wizard.

Technical Considerations

While they can be used to debug code, some of these connections have special technical
considerations, as discussed in the following paragraphs.

Full Chip Simulation Considerations

The Full Chip Simulation (FCS) connection runs a complete simulation of all processor
peripherals and I/O on the user's PC. No development board is required. Each derivative
