March 7, 2003 - Belonging to the inDART-HC08 series of in-circuit debuggers/programmers, the new inDART-HC08/GZ Design Kit provides users with everything they need to quickstart their MC68HC908GZ/GR projects. The kit includes an in-circuit debugger/programmer, a full-featured evaluation board specific for the GZ/GR microcontrollers (a QFP32 ZIF socket is provided) and a GZ device sample. The Kit is available for ordering with an end-user price of $299.
The inDART-HC08 series takes advantage of Metrowerks CodeWarrior HC08 Integrated Development Environment and the ISP (In-System Programming) feature to program the FLASH memory of the HC08 family of microcontrollers. Together with CodeWarrior HC08, each tool of the inDART-HC08 series provides you with everything you need to download (program), in-circuit emulate and debug user code. Full-speed program execution allows you to perform real-time hardware and software testing. inDART-HC08 series tools are connected to the host PC through a USB port, while the 16-pin connector of the products fit into the target's standard MON08 connector. On Design Kit packages, a full-featured experiment board for a specific HC08 microcontroller is also included.
inDART-HC08 series tools offer you the following benefits:
- Real-time code execution and in-circuit debugging without probes--work with all packages (MON08-compatible ISP connector);
- Built-in FLASH programmer (DataBlaze programming utility);
- 2.2 to 5.0 V devices supported;
- Jumperless hardware mode setting;
- Automatic VTST voltage generation;
- Automatic target baud rate detection;
- USB connection to the PC;
- Metrowerks' CodeWarrior IDE with editor, assembler, C compiler and debugger.
