The ComPOD12 BDM-Interface is a universal In-System Programming (ISP)device for downloading firmware / data to a Freescale HC(S)12 Target System. The programmer connects to the Target Device 'BDM Port' on the Target System using a 6-pin ribbon cable fitted with a BDM12 6-pin header connector as defined by Motorola. Power supply for the pod also comes over this connection from the target board.

The ComPOD12/PRO BDM-Interface provides all features of the COMPOD12/STD version, plus a number of powerful extensions:

• Higher RS232 interface speed: 115200Bd
• PC-connection via USB as an option (please add part number
• KABELUSB to your order)
• Support of variable clock rates: 1, 2, 4 or 8 MHz BDM-clock selectable (equals 2, 4, 8 or 16 MHz oscillator clock)
• Advanced Reset-Sequencing (tolerating non-standard reset controllers)
• Secure- and Unsecure-Function for HCS12 Controllers
• Integrated update function allows replacement of Pod-Firmware
• Attractive bundle pricing with NoICE12 Source Level Debugger

The programmer driver software, StarProg, allows the Target Device FLASH and EEPROM memory areas to be programmed under PC control. The software makes use of the hardware interface ComPOD12 to access the target hardware. The connection to the PC is established via RS232.
