Background Debug Module (BDM)
All MCUs in the HCS08 family contain a single-wire background debug interface which
supports in-circuit programming of on-chip non-volatile memory and sophisticated non-
intrusive debug capabilities. This system does not interfere with normal application
resources. It does not use any user memory or locations in the memory map and does not
share any on-chip peripherals. The Background Debug Module (also known as Background
Debug Controller, BDC) uses a single-wire communication interface (via the BKGD line) to
allow non-intrusive access to target system memory and registers.
PK-HCS08GB60 features a USB-to-BDM circuitry which allows the host PC to communicate
to the microcontroller through a standard USB cable.
Note: in this microcontroller, the BKGD line is shared with the PG0 line (same pin). The
user program, therefore, must not use the PG0 line.
PK-HCS08GB60 Board Layout
The PK-HCS08GB60 board has the following hardware features:
1. A “USB to BDM Interface” section. It contains the circuitry needed to electrically and
2. A “Demo” section. It features a RESET push-button, one user push-button, a
3. A “MCU” section. It contains a soldered, 64-pin MC9S08GB60 device (in QFP
4. A “Prototype” section. You can wire your own circuit here. The prototype section
logically translate BDM-like commands sent by the host PC through the USB cable to
the BDM interface of the microcontroller. The PK-HCS08GB60 board is powered by the
USB bus.

prototyping. A 32.768 KHz crystal oscillator is provided.
features both a standard, thru-hole area (for mounting traditional components) and a
SMD area (for soldering SMD components in SOIC package).
