USB-ML-CFE (Discontinued)

USB BDM Interface cable for the ColdFire V2/V3/V4 (Discontinued)

Product Details


 The USB-ML-CFE (USB ColdFire Multilink) has been discontinued. The recommended replacement part is the all-in-one Multilink Universal. Most software products will support the Multilink Universal transparently. Older software may need to be patched so that it will natively work with the latest Cyclones and Universal Multilinks. See FAQ #211.

For users who would prefer a high-speed solution, the Multilink Universal FX is also compatible, but please note that older software will need an upgrade to use the Multilink Universal FX.

 Other compatible interfaces include the Cyclone Universal, Cyclone Universal FX, and Tracelink<

PEmicro offers a trade-in program for older Multilinks. If you have a USB-ML-CFE, you can trade it in for a discount towards our Multilink Universal or Multilink Universal FX. Please visit our Multilink Trade-In Program page for more information.

FAQs
My Legacy Codewarrior, my Eclipse Codewarrior 10.2 or higher, or my other 3rd party software with PEmicro support will not detect my PEmicro hardware tool or fails to connect to the target board. What can I do to fix this?
The connection assistant dialog indicates that my Multilink or Cyclone is undetected even though I have connected the hardware to my USB port. What should I do?
