New in USBDM 4.10.3 (May 7, 2013)

  • Added device driver installation (V1.0.0)
  • Fixed BDM doing reset when setting target even if already powered. This was interfering with doing a 'gentle' connection to a running target.
  • ELF Files now supported for MC56F80xx devices.

New in USBDM 4.10.2 (Oct 16, 2012)

  • Updated installer for Codewarrior 10.3 Beta

New in USBDM 4.10.0 (Sep 18, 2012)

  • Improved ARM-JTAG interface speed.
  • Added support for ARM-SWD interfaces (requires different hardware). ARM-SWD is much faster than ARM-JTAG. For reference, programming a file to flash using Codewarrior 10.2:
  • OSJTAG 1m 20s 53s
  • USBDM-JTAG 47s 23s
  • USBDM-SWD 21s 17s
  • ARM interfaces (JTAG & SWD) are now provided by USBDM interface DLL. This means that the ARM API is now uniform with the RS08, HCS08, HCS12 and CFV1 interfaces. A compatibility DLL is provided for legacy use.
  • Simple ARM-SWD interface hardware designs are provided.
  • Bug fixes:
  • Alignment error in programming code for some S12 targets
  • Corrected load addresses for ELF files for HCS08/HCS12
  • Added/corrected support for MCF51AG128

New in USBDM 4.9.5 (Jul 19, 2012)

  • Added Support for ELF file format (only tested with Kinetis/Coldefire+) DSC programmer extended
  • Programming firmware updated. MC56F83xx family extended but untested and limited device entries have been created. It may be possible to add other devices.
  • Added device entries for MM912H634 etc. Programmer dialogue size reduced. Added support for FlexNVM partitioning in Coldfire+ and Kinetis devices
  • Added support for programming FlexNVM regions when partitioned (at least partially) as data Flash.
  • Added GDB servers for Kinetis and Coldfire devices.
  • Tested with Codesourcery (Tutorial to follow). Versioning of BDM firmware now has minor numbers XML Memory descriptions extended (improved syntax, flexNVM syntax added, tighter consistency checks)
  • Bug fixes:
  • Added/corrected entries for several HCS12 devices Improved DSC communication routines to work correctly with a wider range of devices. Kinetis device descriptions extended

New in USBDM 4.7.0i (Nov 11, 2011)

  • Fixes to msi installer only
  • Fixed Change & Repair options
  • Added Refresh Codewarrior Eclipse menu item
  • Eclipse refresh now runs after the changes it's meant to refresh

  • This is a limitation of Wix and unlikely to be fixed.
  • It is necessary to uninstall & install again.

New in USBDM 4.7.0g (Nov 3, 2011)

  • Fixed bug relating to the whole Codewarrior sub-menu not appearing if certain Codewarrior software is not detected.
  • Uninstall of Codewarrior patches of non-default Codewarrior installs now works correctly.
  • This installer still has some issues - don't use Change or Repair options as they do not handle non-standard installation paths correctly.

New in USBDM 4.7.0f (Oct 31, 2011)

  • Fixes to msi only:
  • You are now able to install USBDM for various Codewarrior tools even if not detected by the installer. Individually select the items on the Custom Setup page and make sure you set the correct installation path using the Browse... button.

New in USBDM 4.7.0e (Oct 18, 2011)

  • Fixes to msi
  • Files required for post-install step were not installed in all cases Uninstall recovers for install errors more carefully.
  • Serial driver INF file has been updated for improved windows7-64bit compatibility
  • Files have been re-built to handle inter-DLL exceptions correctly

New in USBDM 4.7.0d (Oct 18, 2011)

  • Fixed some install problems (or at least it ignores the problems instead of aborting)
  • Added separate commands that may be manually run post-install if necessary. There has been a re-build of the programs but (hopefully) no change in operation.

New in USBDM 4.7.0c (Oct 18, 2011)

  • Reduced Flash image sizes (separate zip provided)

New in USBDM 4.7.0b (Oct 18, 2011)

  • Improvements to USB error checking (JMxx/JS16 only
  • TCL scripting

New in USBDM 4.5 (Oct 12, 2011)

  • Support for Codesourcery Lite - Coldfire Vx
  • Support for Coldfire Flasher (CFFlasherColdfire V2,3,4 only
  • Support for Codewarrior Eclipse 10.1
  • Flash buffer is now dynamically sized in Flash programmers
  • Added fix for Legacy Codewarrior tools missing TBDML/OSBDM targets

New in USBDM 4.4 (Oct 12, 2011)

  • Bug fixes (DSC Speed
  • Improved Codewarrior V10 integration
  • Serial interface on JS16 versions (supported in JMxx but no example implementation

New in USBDM 4.0 (Oct 12, 2011)

  • Support for Linux (Eclipse version of Codewarrior only
  • Installation is still somewhat of a challenge!
  • Support for Linux and Windows7 64-bit (Eclipse version of Codewarrior only
  • To support the 64-bit version of Windows it has been necessary to update to using libusb-V1 drivers. For consistency this is also done on Linux. As part of this process the VID/PID for the hardware (BDMhas been changed. This will allow the co-existence of Freescale's OSBDM-JM60 hardware while using a new driver for USBDM. Formerly both these BDMs used the same VID/PID and changes to the driver would not be possible.
  • Programming utilities for RS08, HCS08 and CFV1 are now (officiallyincluded.
  • Support for MC56F800x (digital signal controllersadded. This is only available on USBDM_CF BDMs and the Axiom MC56F8006 Demoboard.
  • Minor bug fixes (installation script
  • The addition of DSC support has pushed the firmware size to greater than 16K on the USBDM_JMxx-CF version. This means that MC9S08JM32/60 chip must be used.
  • Changed to wxWidgets for common GUI code on Windows and Linux

New in USBDM 3.0 (Oct 12, 2011)

  • Support for Codewarrior V10 has been introduced. This has required the development of specific GDI Dlls for each target type i.e. RS08, HCS08, CFV1 and CFV2-4.
  • The handling of RS08 devices has been further changed and now no RS08 derivative specific code is contained in the BDM firmware or USBDM.dll. RS08 code is handled by the GDI layer for Codewarrior V10 or in the OpenSourceBDM.dll for the older version of Codewarrior. This should mean that further devices may be added with no changes to either USBDM.dll or BDM Firmware.
  • Minor bug fixes in the BDM Firmware.

New in USBDM 2.0 (Oct 12, 2011)

  • Major revision. The structure of the software has been revised and the operation with various targets made more uniform.
  • Introduction of a new API for using the BDM. Existing APIs (TBDML, OSBDM, TBLCFare now supported by a separate compatibility layer. This has resulted in a very significant reduction in the complexity of both the BDM firmware and the interface DLLs. The previous arrangement was becoming impossible to maintain.
  • The handling of RS08 devices has been re-written in a more sensible fashion. This involved moving the bulk of the RS08 code from the BDM firmware to the interface DLLs. This should mean that additional devices can be introduced without changing the BDM firmware. Support for additional RS08 devices has been added. The BDM now supports KA1, KA2, KA4, KA8, LA8 and LE4.
  • Because of the above changes, the BDM REQUIRES the use of the provided interface DLLs. The BDM is no longer compatible with the original TBDML or OSBDM dlls.
  • The provided DLLs maintain some limited compatibility with earlier versions of TBDML, OSBDM and USBDM but may not support all features or targets

New in USBDM 1.5 (Oct 12, 2011)

  • Improved/corrected connection strategy for external power cycling
  • Minor bug fixed (glitch removal
  • Improvements to ALT clock handling
  • Changes to USB code to fixed bugs with BDM being recognized on some PCs

New in USBDM 1.4 (Oct 12, 2011)

  • Fixed a bug in the USB code (unlikely to occur but worth fixing
  • Added extra dialogues prompting the user to cycle target power when necessary. Corresponding options added.
  • Added connection retry when target power is absent.
  • Added support for MC51AC256 (a bit of a hack!
  • Modified HCS macros (to provide considerable size reduction as needed for USBDM_CF in 16K
  • General clean up of code
