The Nexus cell, which is integrated into the control-
lersoftheMPC560xB/CfamilyfromFreescaleorthe
SPC560B/CcontrollersofST,cangeneratetracedata
for the instructions executed by the core. If an operat-
ing system is used, information on task switching are
produced as well.
A microcontroller must have a trace interface, so
that an external trace tool, such as TRACE32, can
recordthis tracedata.However, themembers ofthe
MPC560xB/Cfamilydonothavethisinterfaceintheir
standard packaging. To provide access to this valu-
able data about the program run during the develop-
ment phase, silicon-compatible microcontrollers in a
208-pinBGAdevelopmentpackageareoffered,which
have a Nexus interface with 4 MDO (Message Data
Out) pins.
Since mid-2011, Lauterbach has provided
MPC560xB/C adapters that can replace the original
controlleronthe targethardwarewitha208-pin con-
troller with Nexus interface.
The MPC560xB/C adapter consists of a suitable
MPC560xB/Ccontrollerin208-pinBGAdevelopment
package and Mictor plug with Nexus interface for con-
necting TRACE32 trace tools (shown in figure 4 in
blue). In addition, a socket adapter from the Tokyo
Eletech company is required.
