Overview of M68000 Firmware

The firmware for the M68000-based (68K) series of board and system level products has a common genealogy, deriving from the debugger firmware currently used on all Motorola M68000-based CPU modules. The M68000 firmware family provides:

❏A high degree of functionality

❏User friendliness

❏Portability

❏Ease of maintenance

This member of the M68000 firmware family is implemented on the MVME177 Single Board Computer, and is known as the MVME177Bug, or simply 177Bug.

Description of 177Bug

The 177Bug package is a powerful evaluation and debugging tool for systems built around the MVME177 CISC-based microcomputers. Facilities are available for loading and executing user programs under complete operator control for system evaluation. 177Bug includes:

❏Commands for display and modification of memory

❏Breakpoint and tracing capabilities

❏A powerful assembler/disassembler useful for patching programs

❏A self-test at power-up feature which verifies the integrity of the system
