environment, which combines a GNU C compiler, in-circuit debugger, and
flash memory programmer. The debugger supports both assembly and C
source-level debugging. The programmer can program/reprogram both
internal and external flash devices in-circuit.

TRANSITIONING TO YOUR OWN TARGET
Once you have finished working with the DEMOQE128 and are ready to build
your own target, you will need a hardware tool to allow you to develop using
your own board. P&E’s USB Multilink and P&E’s Cyclone PRO offer two
effective solutions, depending on your needs. Both work with Freescale’s
CodeWarrior as well as P&E software, and both provide a seamless transition
to working with your own hardware.
The USB Multilink is a development tool that is functionally comparable to the
Embedded Multilink circuitry on the DEMOQE128. It will enable you to debug
your code and program it onto your target. The Cyclone PRO is a more
versatile and robust development tool with advanced features and production
capabilities.
More information is available below to assist you in choosing the appropriate
development tool for your needs.

Hardware Solutions At A Glance
The USB Multilink offers an affordable and compact solution for your
development needs, and allows debugging and programming to be
accomplished simply and efficiently. Those doing rapid development will find
the USB Multilink easy to use and fully capable of fast-paced debugging and
programming.
The Cyclone PRO is a more complete solution designed for both development
and production. The Cyclone PRO featues automated power switching,
multiple communications interfaces (including USB, Ethernet, and Serial),
stand-alone programming functionality, and many other advanced
capabilities.
Below is an overview of the features and intended use of the USB Multilink
and Cyclone PRO.
