ColdFire® C-Level Development And Programming Kit

P&E Microcomputer Systems' development suite equips you with everything you need to create a C language application for your ColdFire system.

A complete and powerful solution, the PKGCFZ_PRO uses the most simple and straightforward Windows interface with integrated debug, flash programming and GCC compilation that you will find. The GNU compiler runs under Windows and does not require any additional software to operate.

Key features:

Includes P&E's ICDCFZ in-circuit debugger, PROGCFZ flash programming software, WinIDE integrated development environment, CASMCFZ assembler, and REGCFZ register viewing software.

Includes a complete GNU ColdFire toolchain that runs directly in Windows; no need to install additional software, such as a UNIX simulator.

Includes P&E's well-known USB-ML-CF hardware to connect your PC's USB port to the ColdFire BDM interface on your target board.

Compiler configuration from within the P&E development environment, WinIDE.

Edit source code in WinIDE, which provides code syntax highlighting and code error highlighting.

Automatically create simple applications for any MCF52xx processor and select ColdFire evaluation boards.

$99 MCF5213 ColdFire Development Kit

P&E Microcomputer's new DEV5213CF is an ideal evaluation board for getting a jump start on a ColdFire® project.

The evaluation board contains an embedded P&E USB-ML-CF USB debug pod which provides for easy debug and flash programming of the resident ColdFire MCF5213 processor. The MCF5213 device is a 32-bit ColdFire processor which incorporates 256KB of flash, 32KBytes of ram, ADC, QSPI, PWMs, timers, a PLL, I2c, QSPI, and more! The processor runs at a system clock speed of up to 80MHZ with 76MIPS of performance!

The DEV5213CF package contains:
  1. The Special Edition of P&E C-level development kit for the ColdFire series of processors (64K limited). This software suite includes the P&E In-Circuit Debugger, Flash Programmer, and WinIDE integrated environment with the GCC Compiler.

  2. A development board with a surface-mount development area, external crystal and oscillator circuitry as well as power circuit allowing one to choose to power up the MCF5213 target from the USB bus or from an external power supply.

  3. Schematic of the evaluation MCF5213 part of the board to speed your embedded design.

Expert's Corner - Create ColdFire® 52xx Applications With Ease

Whether you are porting your existing C code to the GNU compiler or creating an application from scratch, learning to use any new compiler and development environment can be time consuming. And for those who are new to GCC, setting up compiler options, linker scripts, and target startup code takes even more time.

To help speed your development, P&E's Mike Myrter offers detailed steps to take you through the process.
