Device Class Description
The following device information summarizes the different classes of boards available to
the user. Detailed information about specific devices is available from Freescale.

Class 5 Device

P&E’s MON08 Cyclone Device connects to a PC via the serial port. The Cyclone-to-
MCU connection occurs via a standard 16-pin MON08 ribbon cable. The MON08
Cyclone Device allows the user to auto-detect the baud rate as well as auto-cycle the
power through the MCU system.

Class 7 Device

P&E MON08 Multilink and USB MON08 Multilink cables connect to the user’s MCU
system via a standard 16-pin MON08 ribbon cable. MON08 Multilink and USB MON08
Multilink allow one to auto-detect the baud rate as well as auto-cycle the power through
the microprocessor system.

Class 8 Device

P&E’s Cyclone Pro communicates with the PC through a Serial, Ethernet or USB port.
The Cyclone Pro can be used to debug and program the firmware inside of Freescale
HC08 microprocessors via a standard 16-pin MON08 ribbon cable. The Cyclone Pro can
provide its own power and clock signals to the microprocessor, as long as proper signals
are connected to the corresponding pins of the 16-pin MON08 header. In addition the
Cyclone Pro can be used for programming and debugging the HC08/HC12/HCS12
Freescale microprocessors via a standard 6-pin ribbon cable. To take advantage of this
functionality, connect proper signals to the standard 6-pin Background Debug Module
header.
