GENERAL INFORMATION
1.1 INTRODUCTION
This manual provides general information, hardware preparation, installation
instructions, a quick start guide, support information, and schematics for the
M68MPB916R3 MCU Personality Board (MPB). The MPB is one component of
Motorola’s modular approach to microcontroller unit-based product development.
This modular approach lets you easily configure our development systems to fit
your requirements. The MPB916R3 lets you emulate/evaluate these MCUs:
•
MC68HC16R1
•
MC68HC916R1
•
MC68HC16R3
•
MC68HC916R3
The MPB may be used in either the M68MMDS1632 Motorola Modular
Development System (MMDS) or the M68MEVB1632 Modular Evaluation
Board (MEVB). Alternately, you may install the MPB directly in your target
system if the target system includes a modular active probe interconnect (MAPI)
interface. The MCU device on the MPB defines which MCU is emulated/
evaluated by the MMDS or MEVB. Both systems are invaluable tools for
designing, debugging, and evaluating MCU operation of the M68HC16 and
M68300 MCU Families. By providing the essential MCU timing and I/O
circuitry, these systems simplify user evaluation of prototype hardware/software
products.
The MPB includes:
•
M68MPB916R3 MCU Personality Board (MPB)
•
Plastic overlay for use with the MEVB – pin outs for the logic analyzer
connectors on the MPFB
•
