ZK-HC08AX-A Starter Kit for Freescale MC68HC908AB/AS/AZ Family (64-Pin QFP ZIF Socket) The ZK-HC08AX-A Starter Kit is a full-featured, ready-to-use evaluation board for Freescale MC68HC908AB/AS/AZ microcontrollers. The Starter Kit has been designed for the evaluation and the debugging of user applications. A 64-pin QFP ZIF (Zero Insertion Force) socket is provided which allows easy microcontroller insertion/extraction--the Starter Kit can be used as a single socket programmer. The Starter Kit takes advantage of CodeWarrior Development Studio Special Edition (which groups an Editor, Assembler, C Compiler and Debugger) and the MON08 interface, which allows the download and debug of the user application into the microcontroller's FLASH memory. Together with CodeWarrior, the Starter Kit provides you with everything you need to write, compile, download, in-circuit emulate and debug user code. Full-speed program execution allows you to perform hardware and software testing in real time. The Starter Kit is connected to the host PC through a USB port. The Starter Kit can be used as a standalone application, via its built-in USB-to-MON08 bridge, or together with an external debugger through a MON08compatible connection. The ZK-HC08AX-A Starter Kit offers you the following benefits: * 64-pin Yamaichi ZIF socket; * Real-time code execution/analysis; * Built-in USB to MON08 Interface for in-circuit debugging/programming; * CAN area with a fault-tolerant CAN transceiver; * LIN area with a LIN transceiver; * Demo area with four push-buttons, a potentiometer, eight DIPswitches, eight LEDs and a RS-232 channel; * DataBlaze programming utility; * CodeWarrior Development Studio Special Edition, with editor, assembler, C compiler and debugger.
