M68ICS08MR

This manual provides information about the Motorola M68ICS08MR in-circuit simulator (MRICS).

The MRICS is a stand-alone development and debugging tool . It contains all of the hardware and software needed to develop and simulate source code, and to program this series of MCU devices:
• MC68HC908MR4
• MC68HC908MR8
• MC68HC908MR32
The MRICS and it's software comprise an editor, assembler, programmer, simulator, and limited real-time input/output emulator for the MCUs. When connected to a host PC (personal computer) and target hardware (your prototype product), actual inputs and outputs of the target system may be used during code simulation.

The MRICS can interface with any IBM Windows 95-based computer (or later version) through connection of a single RS-232 serial port using a DB-9 serial cable.

Connection to the target system is accomplished by a ribbon cable, a Motorola M6CLB05C flex cable, or a MONO8 cable. The ribbon cable or flex cable is used when an MCU is resident on the MRICS for emulation or simulation, and the MONO8 cable is used to debug or program a target system's MCU, directly, when the MCU resides on the target hardware.
