Chapter 1 General Information; Introduction - Motorola M68MPB916R1 User Manual

1.1 INTRODUCTION

This manual provides general information, hardware preparation, installation
instructions, a quick start guide, and support information for the M68MPB916R1
MCU Personality Board (MPB). The MPB is one component of Motorola's
modular approach to MC68HC916R1 Microcontroller Unit-based product
development. This modular approach lets you easily configure our development
systems to fit your requirements.
The MPB may be used in either the M68MMDS1632 Motorola Modular
Development System (MMDS) or the M68MEVB1632 Modular Evaluation
Board (MEVB). Alternately, you may install the MPB directly in your target
system if the target system includes a modular active probe interconnect (MAPI)
interface. The MCU device on the MPB defines which MCU is
emulated/evaluated by the MMDS or MEVB. Both systems are invaluable tools
for designing, debugging, and evaluating MCU operation of the M68HC16 and
M68300 MCU Families. By providing the essential MCU timing and I/O
circuitry, these systems simplify user evaluation of prototype hardware/software
products.
The MPB includes:
• M68MPB916R1 MCU Personality Board (MPB)
• Plastic overlay for use with the MEVB – pin outs for the logic analyzer
connectors on the MPFB (specifically for the MC68HC16R1 MCU)
• Documentation (this manual)
