P&E’s USB ColdFire® Multilink is an easy-to-use debug and programming interface for Freescale’s ColdFire V2/V3/V4 line of microprocessors. The USB ColdFire Multilink is a member of P&E’s family of USB Multilinks, which allow the PC to communicate with a target processor through the USB port of the PC. The Multillink controls the microprocessor by accessing the Background Debug Mode (BDM) of the target.
The USB ColdFire Multilink’s speed and reliability make it ideal for development, and it is supported by P&E software, Freescale's CodeWarrior, and other third-party software (available separately). P&E’s ColdFire In-Circuit Programmer can be used with the Multilink to program internal and external flash memory devices. The USB ColdFire Multilink also works with P&E’s ColdFire In-Circuit Debugger to control the target processor’s execution, read/write registers and memory, and perform full C source-level debug.
