MC56F81000-EVK
Hardware requirements
  • 2 x Micro USB cable

  • MC56F81000-EVK board

  • Personal Computer

Board hardware common setting
  1. Power setting:

    Connect J8 pin2 and pin3 Connect J5 pin1 and pin2 Connect J6 pin1 and pin2

  2. Onboard PnE U-MultiLink debugger setting:

    Connet J11 pin2 and pin3 Connect J13 pin 1-2, 3-4, 5-6, 7-8, to setup onboard debugger PnE U-MultiLink. Note: when use external debugger(connected to J10), leave all J13 pins open.

Board settings

No special settings are required.

Prepare the Demo
  1. Connect USB cable between the host PC and the USB(J26) port on the target board to setup USB to UART bridge.

  2. Connect USB cable between the host PC and the USB(J12) port on the target baord to setup mulitlink debugger.

  3. Open a serial terminal with the following settings:

    • 115200 baud rate

    • 8 data bits

    • No parity

    • One stop bit

    • No flow control

  4. Download the program to the target board with PnE U-MultiLink debug configuration.

  5. Either press the reset button on your board or launch the debugger in your IDE to begin running the demo. Please be noted default FCF(flash configuration field) makes the MCU boot from flash.

Running the demo

These instructions are displayed/shown on the terminal window:

 PFlash Example Start

 Program Flash Sector Size:     1 KB, Hex: (0x400)
 Flash is UNSECURE!

 Erase a sector of flash
 Successfully Erased Sector 0x1fc00 -> 0x20000

 Program a buffer to a sector of flash

MC56F83000-EVK
Hardware requirements
  • Micro USB cable

  • MC56F83000-EVK board

  • Personal Computer

Board hardware common setting
  1. Power setting:

    Connect J19 pin2 and pin3 Connect J12 pin1 and pin2 Connect J13 pin1 and pin2 Connect J15 pin1 and pin2 Connect J16 pin2 and pin3 Connect J17 pin1 and pin2

  2. Onboard OSJTAG debugger setting:

    Leave J5 open Leave J6 open Note: J6 is only used(connected) when firmware update for onboard debugger OSJTAG. Connect J11 pin 1-2, 3-4, 5-6, 7-8, to setup onboard debugger OSJTAG. Note: when use external debugger(connected to J10), leave all J11 pins open.

Board settings

No special settings are required.

Prepare the Demo
  1. Connect USB cable between the host PC and the JM60 USB(J8) port on the target board. It setups OSJTAG and COM port in PC device manager.

  2. Open a serial terminal with the following settings:

    • 115200 baud rate

    • 8 data bits

    • No parity

    • One stop bit

    • No flow control

  3. Download the program to the target board with OSJTAG debug configuration.

  4. Either press the reset button on your board or launch the debugger in your IDE to begin running the demo. Please be noted that default FCF(flash configuration field) setting makes MCU boot from bootloader. So after reset button press, it will wait 5s(wait in bootloader) to run the application code.
