Overview#
Example application uses the real-time data unit on the JTAG EOnCE module of the 56F800E family to implement pseudo-serial communication over the JTAG port. The typical transmission speed is around 10 kbps. This communication requires FreeMASTER JTAG/EOnCE communication plug-in.
Supported Boards#
MC56F80000-EVK
Hardware requirements
Mini/micro USB cable
MC56F80000 EVK board
Personal Computer
FreeMASTER 2.5 or later installed on PC
Board settings
No special settings are required. The demo uses a debugging interface to communicate with a running MCU application using the JTAG EOnCE RTD Unit. Standard debugger must not be active during the FreeMASTER communication.
Prepare the Demo
Connect a USB cable between the host PC and the Debug USB port (JM60 USB) on the target board.
Compile and download the program to the target microcontroller.
Run and resume application execution when debugger stops in the main() function.
Disconnect the debugger
Terminate the debugger session to release the JTAG interface for FreeMASTER use.
Reset the target board to make sure it runs after detaching the debugger.
Connect with FreeMASTER
Run FreeMASTER, use the Connection Wizard or open Project Options.
Select communication using the FreeMASTER JTAG EOnCe Communication plug-in for 56F800E.
Start communication, FreeMASTER loads the initial TSA Active Content links in the Welcome page.
Note that unlike the MC56F83000 EVK case, this target microcontroller’s Flash is not large enough to store the full example project file, so you have to open it from a local hard drive. Locate the “example.pmp” file in the SDK package (in the freemaster_examples/common directory) and open it in the FreeMASTER tool.
The demo is now running, you should be able to watch variable values and graphs.
