Overview
P&E’s USB ColdFire
®
Multilink is an easy-to-use debug and programming in-
terface for Freescale’s ColdFire V2/V3/V4 line of microprocessors. The USB
ColdFire Multilink is a member of P&E’s family of USB Multilinks, which allow the
PC to communicate with a target processor through the USB port of the PC. The
Multillink controls the microprocessor by accessing the Background Debug Mode
(BDM) of the target.
The USB ColdFire
Multilink’s speed and
reliability make it ideal
for development, and
it is supported by P&E
software, Freescale’s
Codewarrior, and other third-party software (available separately). P&E’s Cold-
Fire In-Circuit Programmer can be used with the Multilink to program internal
and external flash memory devices. The USB ColdFire Multilink also works with
P&E’s ColdFire In-Circuit Debugger to control the target processor’s execution,
read/write registers and memory, and perform full C source-level debug.
