Production Programming
Once you have accomplished the development stage
of your project, you may need a hardware tool to allow
you to easily execute low- or high-volume production
programming. P&E’s Cyclones are extremely flexible
tools designed for debugging, testing, and in-circuit flash
programming of Freescale microcontrollers.
Connect the appropriate ribbon cable between the
Tracelink and the target board. The Tracelink case
flips open for easy access to the ribbon cable con-
nectors. Power up the target board. A yellow LED on
the Tracelink will be illuminated to indicate that it is
detecting target power.
Finally, connect the USB or Ethernet cable from the
Tracelink to the host PC.

Ethernet Configuration

Launch PC Software
Connect the Tracelink to the PC using a USB connec-
tion. Run the ConfigureIP software utility to set up
the network parameters (IP address, subnet mask,
etc.). The Ethernet port will not function properly
until this one-time configuration is complete. You
may refer to the Tracelink User Manual for an in-
depth description. If the Tracelink Ethernet connec-
tion is not required, this step may be skipped.

The Tracelink is now ready to be used with PC soft-
ware to debug and analyze trace. Please refer to the
documentation from the software vendor (e.g., P&E
software, Freescale
TM
CodeWarrior) for more details
on any additional configuration that may be required.
