follows:
Jumper – a plastic shunt that connects 2 terminals electrically
Jumper on, in, or installed - jumper is installed such that 2 pins are connected together
Jumper off, out, or idle - jumper is installed on 1 pin only. It is recommended that
jumpers be idled by installing on 1 pin so they will not be lost.
Cut-Trace – a circuit trace connection between component pads. The circuit trace may
be cut using a razor knife to break the default connection. To reconnect the circuit,
simply install a suitably sized 0-ohm resistor or attach a wire across the pads.

Throughout this document, where used, the name AP52233SLK applies equally to the

INTRODUCTION
Before using this module, the user should be familiar with the hardware and software operation
of the target MCU. Refer to the M52233 User Manual and M52233 Reference Manual for
details on MCU operation. The module’s purpose is to promote the features of the M52233
and to assist the user in quickly developing an application in a known working environment.
Users should be familiar with memory mapping, memory types, and embedded software
design for quick, successful, application development.
The AP52233SLK application module is a fully assembled, fully functional module supporting
Freescale M52233 microcontroller for educational use. The module comes with a integrated
USB Background Debug Mode (BDM), and USB cable for stand-alone operation. Support
software for this module is provided for Windows 95/98/NT/2000/XP operating systems.

GETTING STARTED
The AP52233SLK ships from the factory with a USB stack and open-source RTOS from
InterNicheTechnologies preloaded. Refer to the Hands-On Workshop: Dynamic Web Page
Server with MCF5223x Family (AX131.pdf) on the Axiom Support CD for details on how to get
started quickly. Table 1 below shows the default jumper configuration for the AP52233SLK.

OPERATION
POWER
The AP52233SLK is designed to allow application development while powered from the
USB_BDM. A 2.0mm barrel connector and a 2-position, screw-type, terminal block (BATT)
has been applied to support stand-alone operation. The board may also be powered through
connector J1. Additionally, the board may be configured to supply power through connector J1
to external circuitry. An OFF/ON switch allows the user to quickly and easily connect and
disconnect all power sources.

When using the integrated USB-BDM, the board draws power from the USB bus. Excessive
current drain will violate the USB specification causing the USB bus to disconnect forcing a
POR. Total current consumption of the board and connected circuitry, therefore, must be less
than 500mA.

CAUTION: Violating the USB specification will cause the USB bus to disconnect. This will
force a hard reset on the target.

The installed barrel connector accepts a center-positive, 2.1m barrel plug. The terminal block
accepts wire sizes ranging from 28ga to 16ga. Voltage input must be in the range between
+5V and +15V. At no time should input voltage exceed +15V as damage to the board may
result. The terminal block input is connected directly to the upper voltage rail. Input protection
is not applied on this voltage input. The user must exercise caution when using the terminal
block to input power to the board.

Voltage supplied through connector J1 is also connected directly to the board voltage rails. No
protection is applied on this input and the user must exercise caution when powering the board
from connector J1.

CAUTION: Input protection is NOT applied to the J1 or BATT power inputs. Excessive input
voltage or current will damage the board.

POWER JACK
The PWR power jack consists of a 2.1mm, center-positive, barrel connector. Voltage applied at
this connector should range between +5V and +15V.

Figure 1: PWR Jack

8 Freescale Semiconductor
TERMINAL BLOCK
The BATT terminal block is a 3.5mm, screw-type terminal block connected directly to the VDD
voltage rail. This allows the use of 2 AA batteries to supply power to the board. Exercise
caution when using this input since input protection is not applied. This input requires a
regulated +3.3V voltage source.

Figure 2: BATT Terminal Power Block

Connector J1
See the schematic for details on using this connection to supply power to the board or source
power from the board. This input requires a regulated +3.3V voltage source.
CAUTION: Do not over drive either the J1 or BATT inputs as damage to the board may result.

VDD LED
The VDD LED indicates the state of power applied to the development board. The VDD LED is
located on the output of the OFF/ON switch. This LED will light when the board is energized
regardless of power input source.

POWER SWITCH
The OFF/ON switch connects and disconnects all input sources to the upper voltage rail. In the
OFF position, the board is unpowered and no voltage is present. In the ON position, the input
voltage source is connected to the upper voltage rail.

F
▪ ▪ OFF – Input power source disconnected from upper voltage rail.
▪ ▪ ON – Input power source connected to upper voltage rail

Figure 3: ON/OFF Switch

POWER SELECT
Configuration of applied input power is controlled using 2 option headers. The PWR_SEL
header selects between the on-board voltage regulator and the USB voltage input. The VX_EN
header connects J1-1 directly to the upper voltage rail. The illustrations below show the
different configuration for each option header.

PWR_SEL
Power from the integrated BDM is drawn from the USB bus and is limited to 500mA.
Excessive current drain will violate the USB specification causing the USB bus to disconnect.

CAUTION: Violating the USB specification will cause the USB bus to disconnect. This will cause the
board to reset.

The on-board voltage regulator (VR1) accepts power input through a 2.1mm barrel connector
(PWR). Input voltage may range from +5V to +15V. VR1 provides a +3.3V fixed voltage output
with output current limited to 800mA. Over-temperature and over-current limit built into the
voltage regulator provides limited protection from damage due to excessive stresses.

The user should consider the maximum output current of the selected power source when
attempting to power off-board circuitry through connector J1.
PWR_SEL CONFIGURATION:

VX_EN
The VX_EN option header is a 2-pin jumper that connects the target board voltage rail to J1-1.
J1-3 is connected directly to the ground plane. Use of this feature requires a regulated +3.3V

input power source. This power input is decoupled to minimize noise input but is not
regulated. Care should be exercised when using this feature; no protection is applied on this
input and damage to the target board may result if over-driven. Also, do not attempt to power
the target board through this connector while also applying power through the USB-BDM or the
PWR connector; damage to the board may result.
Power may be sourced to off-board circuitry through the J1 connector. The current limitation of
the USB bus or the on-board regulator must be considered when attempting to source power
to external circuitry.
Excessive current drain may damage the target board, the host PC USB hub, or the on-board
regulator. The figure below details the VX_EN option header connections.

ON Enable power connection to connector J1

VX_EN
▪ ▪ OFF Disable power connection to connector J1
VX_EN

Figure 5: VX_EN Option Header

CAUTION: Do not apply power to connector J1 while also sourcing power from either the PWR
connector or the USB-BDM circuit. Damage to the board may result.
NOTE: Do not exceed available current supply from the USB-BDM cable or on-board regulator
when sourcing power through connector J1 to external circuitry.

RESET
The MCF52233 can be reset several ways. A logic low applied to the RSTI* input will force the
device into RESET. This input is used by the RESET pushbutton. This input is also used to
force the device in to BDM mode. An internal low-voltage detect forces the part into RESET
when voltage falls too low.

RESET SWITCH
The RESET switch provides a method to apply an asynchronous reset to the MCU and is
connected directly to the RSTI* input on the MCU. Pressing the RESET switch forces RSTI*
input low until the switch is released. An external pull-up on the RSTI* line prevents spurious
resets and allowing normal operation.

LOW VOLTAGE DETECT

The MCF52233 utilizes an internal Low Voltage Detect (LVD) to protect against under-voltage
conditions. The LVD is enabled out of RESET. Consult the MCF52233 Device User Guide for
details on configuring LVD operation.

Freescale Semiconductor 11
RESET INDICATOR
The RST_LED is connected to the RSTO* output on the MCF52233. This LED lights when the
MCU is in RESET and remains on for the duration of an asserted RSTO* signal. RSTO* may
also be used as a GP output to drive the RST_LED indicator as needed.

LOW POWER MODES

The MCF52233 supports several operational modes designed to reduce power consumption.
Low-power modes include Wait, Doze, Stop, and Halt. Refer to the MCF52235 documentation
at www.freescale.com for details on configuring and using the various low-power modes.

TIMING
Timing to the AP52233SLK clock module is provided by an external, 25 MHz crystal oscillator.

Refer to the MCF52235 documentation at www.freescale.com for details on use and

configuration.

COMMUNICATIONS
The AP52233SLK board provides 2 SCI ports, 1 QSPI port, and 1 IIC port. RS-232 communication is
supported through a DB9 (COM) connector and through connector J1. QSPI and IIC communications
are supported only through connector J1. The COM_EN option header enables SCI0 functionality
between the MCU and the COM connector.

SCI Port
An RS-232 transceiver provides RS-232 to TTL/CMOS logic level translation between the
COM connector and the MCU. The COM connector is a 9-pin D-sub, right-angle connector. A
ferrite bead on shield ground provides conducted immunity protection. Communication signals
TXD0 and RXD0 are routed from the transceiver to the MCU. These signals are also available
on connector J1. Hardware flow control signals RTS0 and CTS0 are available on connector
J1. RTS has been biased for correct 2-wire operation.
SCI1 signals are available on connector J1 and route directly between the MCU and connector
J1. No RS-232 logic-level translation is provided on SCI1 signals.

COM_EN
The COM_EN option header individually connects and disconnects SCI0 signals between the
MCU and the SCI transceiver. Removing a shunt disconnects the associated signal. Install a
shunt connects the associated signal.

COM Connector
A standard 9-pin D-sub connector provides external connections for the SCI0 port. The D-sub
shell is connected to board ground through a ferrite bead. The ferrite bead provides noise
isolation on the RS-232 connection. The DB9 connector pin-out is shown below.

Device User Guide available at www.freescale.com for details on using the IIC interface.

Ethernet
The AP52233SLK supports ethernet physical-layer communications through an RJ-45
connector at J2. This interface is compatible with IEEE 802.3 at 10/100 Mbps. This port is
connected to the Ethernet Physical Layer Transceiver (ePHY) and Fast Ethernet Controller
(FEC) internal to the MCU. The coupling transformer T1 provides port isolation. Refer to the
MCF52235 documentation at www.freescale.com for further details on operation of the ePHY
and FEC. Five LED’s provide ethernet port status. These active-low status LED’s are driven
directly by the MCU.

ACT Green LED_ACT ON – Link Active, TX or RX

NOTE: The Ethernet port must be initialized and active for status indications.

Accelerometer
The AP52233SLK applies an MMA7260Q, 3-axis accelerometer for tilt and motion-sense
applications. The accelerometer supports 4 user selectable sensitivities - 1.5g / 2g / 4g / 6g.
Separate (X/Y/Z) axis readings are routed to the MCU through the ACC_EN option header. A
SLEEP* input allows the device to be placed in a low-power mode.

An option header at ACC_EN allows the user to disconnect the accelerometer if necessary. In
default configurations, this option header is not installed and a cut-traces located on the bottom
of the board provide a signal path. To disconnect the accelerometer, simply open the cut-trace
and install a 1x3 pin-header at ACC_EN. Install a shunt on each signal to reconnect the
accelerometer. Table 4 below shows the signal connections to the MCU.

Table 4: ACC_EN Option Header

OPERATING MODES
The AP52233SLK board operates in two basic modes Run Mode, or Debug Mode.

Run Mode executes user application code from Power-On or Reset, if the RESET vector is
programmed.

Debug Mode supports the development and debug of applications via the integrated USB
BDM. An optional BDM_PORT is provided but not installed.

See the related sections below for quickly starting the board in the desired mode of operation.
The board has been preloaded with a USB stack and open-source RTOS. Refer to the
GETTING STARTED section of this document for further details.

RUN Mode
Run mode executes the user application out of FLASH when power is applied to the board or
the RESET button is pressed. Of course, the RESET vector must be programmed to allow
application code to execute. Use the following settings to configure the AP52233SLK for
RUN Mode using the USB bus to power the board. See the POWER section below for details

16 Freescale Semiconductor
 1. Connect a serial cable and Ethernet cable between the board and a host PC if required.

2. Connect auxiliary equipment to board if needed.

3. Configure the board option jumpers as shown.

Table 6: Run Mode Setup

4. Connect the USB cable to an open USB port on the host PC and attach to the USB port
on the target board. LED’s D301 and D302 located adjacent to the USB connector, and
the VDD LED will light and the loaded application will begin to execute, if the RESET
vector has been programmed

Debug Mode
Debug Mode supports application development and debug using the ColdFire background
debug module (BDM). Background mode is accessible using either the integrated USB-BDM
or an external ColdFire BDM cable. Using the integrated BDM requires a host PC with an
available USB port and an A/B USB cable and appropriate hosting software. The USB cable
must be USB 2.0 compliant. An external BDM cable can be attached to the 26-pin BDM_PORT
header. However, this header is not installed in default configurations. The steps below
describe using the integrated USB-BDM. See the POWER section below for details on
configuring the board for alternate power input. Connect a serial cable (not included) between
the board and a host PC if needed.

1. Connect a serial cable and ethernet cable between the board and a host PC if required.

2. Connect auxiliary equipment to board if required.

3. Install and launch CodeWarrior 6.1 Special Edition, or other software capable of
communicating with the ColdFire MCU.

4. Configure the board option jumpers as shown.

5. Connect the supplied USB cable between an available USB port on the host PC and the
USB connector on the board. LED’s D301 and D302 located adjacent to the USB
connector, and the VDD LED will light. Hosting development software will establish
background communication.

DEVELOPMENT SUPPORT
Application development and debug for the target MCF52233 is supported through the BDM
interface. The debug interface consists of an optional 26-pin header (BDM_PORT) and an
integrated USB-BDM debugger. The BDM_PORT header is not installed in default
configuration but may be installed by the user if needed. Refer to the MCF52235 Integrated
Microcontroller Reference Manual for details on using the Background Debug Module.

Optional JTAG access is also supported through the BDM_PORT header. To use this optional
JTAG access, open the cut-trace between pin 1 and pin 2 of the BDM_SEL option header.
Install a standard 1x3 header at location BDM_SEL and install a shunt between pin 2 and pin.

Refer to the MCF52235 Integrated Microcontroller Reference Manual (www.freescale.com) for

details on using the JTAG port access.

SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT
Software development requires using a ColdFire assembler or compiler and a host PC running
a ColdFire BDM interface. CodeWarrior Special Edition, supplied with this board, allows the
user to develop and debug application code and to program flash.

One method to ensure successful application development is to load and execute the
application from internal RAM. After the application has been completely debugged, and is fully
functional, it can be ported to FLASH. When programmed into FLASH, the application will
execute from Power-On or RESET if the RESET vector is programmed.

Integrated BDM_PORT
The AP52233SLK board features an integrated USB-BDM debugger. The integrated debugger
supports application development and debugging via the background debug mode. A type B,
USB connector provides connectivity between the target board to the host PC.

NOTE: Using the integrated USB BDM requires CodeWarrior 6.1 Special Edition or development tools
from P&E Microcomputer Systems.

The integrated debugger provides power and ground to the target, thereby eliminating the
need to power the board externally. Power from the integrated USB-BDM is derived from the
USB bus and total current consumption is limited by the USB specification. Total current
consumption for the target board, and all connected circuitry, must not exceed 500mA.

Excessive current drain will violate the USB specification causing the bus to disconnect. This
will force a target POR.

CAUTION: Violating the USB specification will cause the USB bus to disconnect forcing the target to
reset.

BDM_PORT Header
A ColdFire BDM cable may be attached to the 26-pin BDM_PORT port header. This header is
not installed in default configuration. Its use requires installing a 2x13, 0.1” center, pin-header.
Refer to the BDM documentation, in the device reference manual, for details on using the BDM
cable. The BDM_PORT header pin-out is shown below.
