Device Overview MC9S12XE-Family
1.1
Introduction
The MC9S12XE-Family of micro controllers is a further development of the S12XD-Family including
new features for enhanced system integrity and greater functionality. These new features include a
Memory Protection Unit (MPU) and Error Correction Code (ECC) on the Flash memory together with
enhanced EEPROM functionality (EEE), an enhanced XGATE, an Internally filtered, frequency
modulated Phase Locked Loop (IPLL) and an enhanced ATD. The E-Family extends the S12X product
range up to 1MB of Flash memory with increased I/O capability in the 208-pin version of the flagship
MC9S12XE100.
The MC9S12XE-Family delivers 32-bit performance with all the advantages and efficiencies of a 16 bit
MCU. It retains the low cost, power consumption, EMC and code-size efficiency advantages currently
enjoyed by users of Freescale’s existing 16-Bit MC9S12 and S12X MCU families. There is a high level of
compatibility between the S12XE and S12XD families.
The MC9S12XE-Family features an enhanced version of the performance-boosting XGATE co-processor
which is programmable in “C” language and runs at twice the bus frequency of the S12X with an
instruction set optimized for data movement, logic and bit manipulation instructions and which can service
any peripheral module on the device. The new enhanced version has improved interrupt handling
capability and is fully compatible with the existing XGATE module.
The MC9S12XE-Family is composed of standard on-chip peripherals including up to 64Kbytes of RAM,
eight asynchronous serial communications interfaces (SCI), three serial peripheral interfaces (SPI), an 8channel IC/OC enhanced capture timer (ECT), two 16-channel, 12-bit analog-to-digital converters, an 8channel pulse-width modulator (PWM), five CAN 2.0 A, B software compatible modules (MSCAN12),
two inter-IC bus blocks (IIC), an 8-channel 24-bit periodic interrupt timer (PIT) and an 8-channel 16-bit
standard timer module (TIM).
The MC9S12XE-Family uses 16-bit wide accesses without wait states for all peripherals and memories.
The non-multiplexed expanded bus interface available on the 144/208-Pin versions allows an easy
interface to external memories.
In addition to the I/O ports available in each module, up to 26 further I/O ports are available with interrupt
capability allowing Wake-Up from STOP or WAIT modes. The MC9S12XE-Family is available in 208Pin MAPBGA, 144-Pin LQFP, 112-Pin LQFP or 80-Pin QFP options.

Accesses to Port Replacement Registers
All read and write accesses to PRR addresses take two bus clock cycles independent of the operating mode.
If writing to these addresses in emulation modes, the access is directed to both, the internal register and
the external resource while reads will be treated external.
The XEBI control registers also belong to this category.
5.4.4
Stretched External Bus Accesses
In order to allow fast internal bus cycles to coexist in a system with slower external resources, the XEBI
supports stretched external bus accesses (wait states) for each external address range related to one of the
4 chip select lines individually.
This feature is available in normal expanded mode and emulation expanded mode for accesses to all
external addresses except emulation memory and PRR. In these cases the fixed access times are 1 or 2
cycles, respectively.
Stretched accesses are controlled by:
1. EXSTR1[2:0] and EXSTR0[2:0] bits in the EBICTL1 register configuring a fixed amount of
stretch cycles individually for each CSx line in MMCCTL0
2. Activation of the external wait feature for each CSx line MMCCTL0 register
3. Assertion of the external EWAIT signal when at least one CSx line is configured for EWAIT
The EXSTRx[2:0] control bits can be programmed for generation of a fixed number of 1 to 8 stretch
cycles. If the external wait feature is enabled, the minimum number of additional stretch cycles is 2. An
arbitrary amount of stretch cycles can be added using the EWAIT input.
EWAIT needs to be asserted at least for a minimal specified time window within an external access cycle
for the internal logic to detect it and add a cycle (refer to electrical characteristics). Holding it for additional
cycles will cause the external bus access to be stretched accordingly.
Write accesses are stretched by holding the initiator in its current state for additional cycles as programmed
and controlled by external wait after the data have been driven out on the external bus. This results in an
extension of time the bus signals and the related control signals are valid externally.
Read data are not captured by the system in normal expanded mode until the specified setup time before
the RE rising edge.
MC9S12XE-Family Reference Manual Rev. 1.25
Freescale Semiconductor
253
Chapter 5 External Bus Interface (S12XEBIV4)
Read data are not captured in emulation expanded mode until the specified setup time before the falling
edge of ECLK.
In emulation expanded mode, accesses to the internal flash or the emulation memory (determined by
EROMON and ROMON bits; see S12X_MMC section for details) always take 1 cycle and stretching is
not supported. In case the internal flash is taken out of the map in user applications, accesses are stretched
as programmed and controlled by external wait.
5.4.5
Data Select and Data Direction Signals
The S12X_EBI supports byte and word accesses at any valid external address. The big endian system of
the MCU is extended to the external bus; however, word accesses are restricted to even aligned addresses.
The only exception is the visibility of misaligned word accesses to addresses in the internal RAM as this
module exclusively supports these kind of accesses in a single cycle.
With the above restriction, a fixed relationship is implied between the address parity and the dedicated bus
halves where the data are accessed: DATA[15:8] is related to even addresses and DATA[7:0] is related to
odd addresses.
In expanded modes the data access type is externally determined by a set of control signals, i.e., data select
and data direction signals, as described below. The data select signals are not available if using the external
bus interface with an 8-bit data bus.
5.4.5.1
Normal Expanded Mode
In normal expanded mode, the external signals RE, WE, UDS, LDS indicate the access type (read/write),
data size and alignment of an external bus access (Table 5-19).

Low-Power Options
The XEBI does not support any user-controlled options for reducing power consumption.
5.4.6.1
Run Mode
The XEBI does not support any options for reducing power in run mode.
Power consumption is reduced in single-chip modes due to the absence of the external bus interface.
Operation in expanded modes results in a higher power consumption, however any unnecessary toggling
of external bus signals is reduced to the lowest indispensable activity by holding the previous states
between external accesses.
5.4.6.2
Wait Mode
The XEBI does not support any options for reducing power in wait mode.
5.4.6.3
Stop Mode
The XEBI will cease to function in stop mode.
5.5
Initialization/Application Information
This section describes the external bus interface usage and timing. Typical customer operating modes are
normal expanded mode and emulation modes, specifically to be used in emulator applications. Taking the
availability of the external wait feature into account the use cases are divided into four scenarios:
• Normal expanded mode
— External wait feature disabled
– External wait feature enabled
• Emulation modes
– Emulation single-chip mode (without wait states)
– Emulation expanded mode (with optional access stretching)
Normal single-chip mode and special single-chip mode do not have an external bus. Special test mode is
used for factory test only. Therefore, these modes are omitted here.
All timing diagrams referred to throughout this section are available in the Electrical Characteristics
appendix of the SoC section.
5.5.1
Normal Expanded Mode
This mode allows interfacing to external memories or peripherals which are available in the commercial
market. In these applications the normal bus operation requires a minimum of 1 cycle stretch for each
external access.

5.5.1.1
Example 1a: External Wait Feature Disabled
The first example of bus timing of an external read and write access with the external wait feature disabled
is shown in
• Figure ‘Example 1a: Normal Expanded Mode — Read Followed by Write’
The associated supply voltage dependent timing are numbers given in
• Table ‘Example 1a: Normal Expanded Mode Timing VDD5 = 5.0 V (EWAIT disabled)’
• Table ‘Example 1a: Normal Expanded Mode Timing VDD5 = 3.0 V (EWAIT disabled)’
Systems designed this way rely on the internal programmable access stretching. These systems have
predictable external memory access times. The additional stretch time can be programmed up to 8 cycles
to provide longer access times.
5.5.1.2
Example 1b: External Wait Feature Enabled
The external wait operation is shown in this example. It can be used to exceed the amount of stretch cycles
over the programmed number in EXSTR[2:0]. The feature must be enabled by configuring at least one
CSx line for EWAIT.
If the EWAIT signal is not asserted, the number of stretch cycles is forced to a minimum of 2 cycles. If
EWAIT is asserted within the predefined time window during the access it will be strobed active and
another stretch cycle is added. If strobed inactive, the next cycle will be the last cycle before the access is
finished. EWAIT can be held asserted as long as desired to stretch the access.
An access with 1 cycle stretch by EWAIT assertion is shown in
• Figure ‘Example 1b: Normal Expanded Mode — Stretched Read Access’
• Figure ‘Example 1b: Normal Expanded Mode — Stretched Write Access’
The associated timing numbers for both operations are given in
• Table ‘Example 1b: Normal Expanded Mode Timing VDD5 = 5.0 V (EWAIT enabled)’
• Table ‘Example 1b: Normal Expanded Mode Timing VDD5 = 3.0 V (EWAIT enabled)’
It is recommended to use the free-running clock (ECLK) at the fastest rate (bus clock rate) to synchronize
the EWAIT input signal.
5.5.2
Emulation Modes
In emulation mode applications, the development systems use a custom PRU device to rebuild the singlechip or expanded bus functions which are lost due to the use of the external bus with an emulator.
Accesses to a set of registers controlling the related ports in normal modes (refer to SoC section) are
directed to the external bus in emulation modes which are substituted by PRR as part of the PRU. Accesses
to these registers take a constant time of 2 cycles.
Depending on the setting of ROMON and EROMON (refer to S12X_MMC section), the program code
can be executed from internal memory or an optional external emulation memory (EMULMEM). No wait

state operation (stretching) of the external bus access is done in emulation modes when accessing internal
memory or emulation memory addresses.
In both modes observation of the internal operation is supported through the external bus (internal
visibility).
5.5.2.1
Example 2a: Emulation Single-Chip Mode
This mode is used for emulation systems in which the target application is operating in normal single-chip
mode.

The timing for accesses to PRU registers, which take 2 cycles to complete, is the same as the timing
for an external non-PRR access with 1 cycle of stretch as shown in example 2b.
5.5.2.2
Example 2b: Emulation Expanded Mode
This mode is used for emulation systems in which the target application is operating in normal expanded
mode.
If the external bus is used with a PRU, the external device rebuilds the data select and data direction signals
UDS, LDS, RE, and WE from the ADDR0, LSTRB, and RW signals.

Description of Changes
Initial V2 release, added new features:
- XGATE threads can be interrupted.
- SYS instruction vector.
- Access violation interrupt vectors.
- Added Notes for devices without XGATE module.
- Fixed priority definition for software exceptions.
- Re-worded for difference of Wake-up feature between STOP and WAIT
modes.
Introduction
The XINT module decodes the priority of all system exception requests and provides the applicable vector
for processing the exception to either the CPU or the XGATE module. The XINT module supports:
• I bit and X bit maskable interrupt requests
• One non-maskable unimplemented op-code trap
• One non-maskable software interrupt (SWI) or background debug mode request
• One non-maskable system call interrupt (SYS)
• Three non-maskable access violation interrupts
• One spurious interrupt vector request
• Three system reset vector requests
Each of the I bit maskable interrupt requests can be assigned to one of seven priority levels supporting a
flexible priority scheme. For interrupt requests that are configured to be handled by the CPU, the priority
scheme can be used to implement nested interrupt capability where interrupts from a lower level are
automatically blocked if a higher level interrupt is being processed. Interrupt requests configured to be
handled by the XGATE module can be nested one level deep.
NOTE
The HPRIO register and functionality of the original S12 interrupt module
is no longer supported. It is superseded by the 7-level interrupt request
priority scheme.

Features
Interrupt vector base register (IVBR)
One spurious interrupt vector (at address vector base1 + 0x0010).
One non-maskable system call interrupt vector request (at address vector base + 0x0012).
Three non-maskable access violation interrupt vector requests (at address vector base + 0x0014−
0x0018).
2–109 I bit maskable interrupt vector requests (at addresses vector base + 0x001A–0x00F2).
Each I bit maskable interrupt request has a configurable priority level and can be configured to be
handled by either the CPU or the XGATE module2.
I bit maskable interrupts can be nested, depending on their priority levels.
One X bit maskable interrupt vector request (at address vector base + 0x00F4).
One non-maskable software interrupt request (SWI) or background debug mode vector request (at
address vector base + 0x00F6).
One non-maskable unimplemented op-code trap (TRAP) vector (at address vector base + 0x00F8).
Three system reset vectors (at addresses 0xFFFA–0xFFFE).
Determines the highest priority XGATE and interrupt vector requests, drives the vector to the
XGATE module or to the bus on CPU request, respectively.
Wakes up the system from stop or wait mode when an appropriate interrupt request occurs or
whenever XIRQ is asserted, even if X interrupt is masked.
XGATE can wake up and execute code, even with the CPU remaining in stop or wait mode.
1. The vector base is a 16-bit address which is accumulated from the contents of the interrupt vector base register (IVBR, used
as upper byte) and 0x00 (used as lower byte).
2. The IRQ interrupt can only be handled by the CPU

Modes of Operation
Run mode
This is the basic mode of operation.
Wait mode
In wait mode, the XINT module is frozen. It is however capable of either waking up the CPU if an
interrupt occurs or waking up the XGATE if an XGATE request occurs. Please refer to
Section 6.5.3, “Wake Up from Stop or Wait Mode” for details.
Stop Mode
In stop mode, the XINT module is frozen. It is however capable of either waking up the CPU if an
interrupt occurs or waking up the XGATE if an XGATE request occurs. Please refer to
Section 6.5.3, “Wake Up from Stop or Wait Mode” for details.
Freeze mode (BDM active)
In freeze mode (BDM active), the interrupt vector base register is overridden internally. Please
refer to Section 6.3.2.1, “Interrupt Vector Base Register (IVBR)” for details.

Interrupt Vector Base Address Bits — These bits represent the upper byte of all vector addresses. Out of
IVB_ADDR[7:0] reset these bits are set to 0xFF (i.e., vectors are located at 0xFF10–0xFFFE) to ensure compatibility to
previous S12 microcontrollers.
Note: A system reset will initialize the interrupt vector base register with “0xFF” before it is used to determine
the reset vector address. Therefore, changing the IVBR has no effect on the location of the three reset
vectors (0xFFFA–0xFFFE).
Note: If the BDM is active (i.e., the CPU is in the process of executing BDM firmware code), the contents of
IVBR are ignored and the upper byte of the vector address is fixed as “0xFF”.

Interrupt Request Configuration Data Register Select Bits — These bits determine which of the 128
INT_CFADDR[7:4] configuration data registers are accessible in the 8 register window at INT_CFDATA0–7. The hexadecimal
value written to this register corresponds to the upper nibble of the lower byte of the address of the interrupt
vector, i.e., writing 0xE0 to this register selects the configuration data register block for the 8 interrupt vector
requests starting with vector at address (vector base + 0x00E0) to be accessible as INT_CFDATA0–7.
Note: Writing all 0s selects non-existing configuration registers. In this case write accesses to
INT_CFDATA0–7 will be ignored and read accesses will return all 0.
6.3.2.4
Interrupt Request Configuration Data Registers (INT_CFDATA0–7)
The eight register window visible at addresses INT_CFDATA0–7 contains the configuration data for the
block of eight interrupt requests (out of 128) selected by the interrupt configuration address register
(INT_CFADDR) in ascending order. INT_CFDATA0 represents the interrupt configuration data register
of the vector with the lowest address in this block, while INT_CFDATA7 represents the interrupt
configuration data register of the vector with the highest address, respectively.

XGATE Request Enable — This bit determines if the associated interrupt request is handled by the CPU or by
the XGATE module.
0 Interrupt request is handled by the CPU
1 Interrupt request is handled by the XGATE module
Note: The IRQ interrupt cannot be handled by the XGATE module. For this reason, the configuration register
for vector (vector base + 0x00F2) = IRQ vector address) does not contain a RQST bit. Writing a 1 to the
location of the RQST bit in this register will be ignored and a read access will return 0.
Note: If the XGATE module is not available on the device, writing a 1 to the location of the RQST bit in this
register will be ignored and a read access will return 0.
2–0
Interrupt Request Priority Level Bits — The PRIOLVL[2:0] bits configure the interrupt request priority level of
PRIOLVL[2:0] the associated interrupt request. Out of reset all interrupt requests are enabled at the lowest active level (“1”)
to provide backwards compatibility with previous S12 interrupt controllers. Please also refer to Table 6-9 for
available interrupt request priority levels.
Note: Write accesses to configuration data registers of unused interrupt channels will be ignored and read
accesses will return all 0. For information about what interrupt channels are used in a specific MCU,
please refer to the Device Reference Manual of that MCU.
Note: When vectors (vector base + 0x00F0–0x00FE) are selected by writing 0xF0 to INT_CFADDR, writes to
INT_CFDATA2–7 (0x00F4–0x00FE) will be ignored and read accesses will return all 0s. The
corresponding vectors do not have configuration data registers associated with them.
Note: When vectors (vector base + 0x0010–0x001E) are selected by writing 0x10 to INT_CFADDR, writes to
INT_CFDATA1–INT_CFDATA4 (0x0012–0x0018) will be ignored and read accesses will return all 0s. The
corresponding vectors do not have configuration data registers associated with them.
Note: Write accesses to the configuration register for the spurious interrupt vector request
(vector base + 0x0010) will be ignored and read accesses will return 0x07 (request is handled by the
CPU, PRIOLVL = 7).

Functional Description
The XINT module processes all exception requests to be serviced by the CPU module. These exceptions
include interrupt vector requests and reset vector requests. Each of these exception types and their overall
priority level is discussed in the subsections below.

Chapter 6 Interrupt (S12XINTV2)
6.4.1
S12X Exception Requests
The CPU handles both reset requests and interrupt requests. The XINT module contains registers to
configure the priority level of each I bit maskable interrupt request which can be used to implement an
interrupt priority scheme. This also includes the possibility to nest interrupt requests. A priority decoder
is used to evaluate the priority of a pending interrupt request.
6.4.2
Interrupt Prioritization
After system reset all interrupt requests with a vector address lower than or equal to (vector base + 0x00F2)
are enabled, are set up to be handled by the CPU and have a pre-configured priority level of 1. Exceptions
to this rule are the non-maskable interrupt requests and the spurious interrupt vector request at (vector base
+ 0x0010) which cannot be disabled, are always handled by the CPU and have a fixed priority levels. A
priority level of 0 effectively disables the associated I bit maskable interrupt request.
If more than one interrupt request is configured to the same interrupt priority level the interrupt request
with the higher vector address wins the prioritization.
The following conditions must be met for an I bit maskable interrupt request to be processed.
1. The local interrupt enabled bit in the peripheral module must be set.
2. The setup in the configuration register associated with the interrupt request channel must meet the
following conditions:
a) The XGATE request enable bit must be 0 to have the CPU handle the interrupt request.
b) The priority level must be set to non zero.
c) The priority level must be greater than the current interrupt processing level in the condition
code register (CCR) of the CPU (PRIOLVL[2:0] > IPL[2:0]).
3. The I bit in the condition code register (CCR) of the CPU must be cleared.
4. There is no access violation interrupt request pending.
5. There is no SYS, SWI, BDM, TRAP, or XIRQ request pending.
NOTE
All non I bit maskable interrupt requests always have higher priority than
I bit maskable interrupt requests. If an I bit maskable interrupt request is
interrupted by a non I bit maskable interrupt request, the currently active
interrupt processing level (IPL) remains unaffected. It is possible to nest
non I bit maskable interrupt requests, e.g., by nesting SWI or TRAP calls.
6.4.2.1
Interrupt Priority Stack
The current interrupt processing level (IPL) is stored in the condition code register (CCR) of the CPU. This
way the current IPL is automatically pushed to the stack by the standard interrupt stacking procedure. The
new IPL is copied to the CCR from the priority level of the highest priority active interrupt request channel
which is configured to be handled by the CPU. The copying takes place when the interrupt vector is
fetched. The previous IPL is automatically restored by executing the RTI instruction.

Chapter 6 Interrupt (S12XINTV2)
6.4.3
XGATE Requests
If the XGATE module is implemented on the device, the XINT module is also used to process all exception
requests to be serviced by the XGATE module. The overall priority level of those exceptions is discussed
in the subsections below.
6.4.3.1
XGATE Request Prioritization
An interrupt request channel is configured to be handled by the XGATE module, if the RQST bit of the
associated configuration register is set to 1 (please refer to Section 6.3.2.4, “Interrupt Request
Configuration Data Registers (INT_CFDATA0–7)”). The priority level configuration (PRIOLVL) for this
channel becomes the XGATE priority which will be used to determine the highest priority XGATE request
to be serviced next by the XGATE module. Additionally, XGATE interrupts may be raised by the XGATE
module by setting one or more of the XGATE channel interrupt flags (by using the SIF instruction). This
will result in an CPU interrupt with vector address vector base + (2 * channel ID number), where the
channel ID number corresponds to the highest set channel interrupt flag, if the XGIE and channel RQST
bits are set.
The shared interrupt priority for the XGATE interrupt requests is taken from the XGATE interrupt priority
configuration register (please refer to Section 6.3.2.2, “XGATE Interrupt Priority Configuration Register
(INT_XGPRIO)”). If more than one XGATE interrupt request channel becomes active at the same time,
the channel with the highest vector address wins the prioritization.
6.4.4
Priority Decoders
The XINT module contains priority decoders to determine the priority for all interrupt requests pending
for the respective target.
There are two priority decoders, one for each interrupt request target, CPU or XGATE. The function of
both priority decoders is basically the same with one exception: the priority decoder for the XGATE
module does not take the current XGATE thread processing level into account. Instead, XGATE requests
are handed to the XGATE module including a 1-bit priority identifier. The XGATE module uses this
additional information to decide if the new request can interrupt a currently running thread. The 1-bit
priority identifier corresponds to the most significant bit of the priority level configuration of the requesting
channel. This means that XGATE requests with priority levels 4, 5, 6 or 7 can interrupt running XGATE
threads with priority levels 1, 2 and 3.
A CPU interrupt vector is not supplied until the CPU requests it. Therefore, it is possible that a higher
priority interrupt request could override the original exception which caused the CPU to request the vector.
In this case, the CPU will receive the highest priority vector and the system will process this exception
instead of the original request.
If the interrupt source is unknown (for example, in the case where an interrupt request becomes inactive
after the interrupt has been recognized, but prior to the vector request), the vector address supplied to the
CPU will default to that of the spurious interrupt vector.
MC9S12XE-Family Reference Manual Rev. 1.25
Freescale Semiconductor
273
Chapter 6 Interrupt (S12XINTV2)
NOTE
Care must be taken to ensure that all exception requests remain active until
the system begins execution of the applicable service routine; otherwise, the
exception request may not get processed at all or the result may be a
spurious interrupt request (vector at address (vector base + 0x0010)).
6.4.5
Reset Exception Requests
The XINT module supports three system reset exception request types (for details please refer to the Clock
and Reset Generator module (CRG)):
1. Pin reset, power-on reset, low-voltage reset, or illegal address reset
2. Clock monitor reset request
3. COP watchdog reset request
6.4.6
Exception Priority
The priority (from highest to lowest) and address of all exception vectors issued by the XINT module upon
request by the CPU is shown in Table 6-10. Generally, all non-maskable interrupts have higher priorities
than maskable interrupts. Please note that between the three software interrupts (Unimplemented op-code
trap request, SWI/BGND request, SYS request) there is no real priority defined because they cannot occur
simultaneously (the S12XCPU executes one instruction at a time).

Initialization/Application Information
Initialization
After system reset, software should:
• Initialize the interrupt vector base register if the interrupt vector table is not located at the default
location (0xFF10–0xFFF9).
• Initialize the interrupt processing level configuration data registers (INT_CFADDR,
INT_CFDATA0–7) for all interrupt vector requests with the desired priority levels and the request
target (CPU or XGATE module). It might be a good idea to disable unused interrupt requests.
• If the XGATE module is used, setup the XGATE interrupt priority register (INT_XGPRIO) and
configure the XGATE module (please refer the XGATE Block Guide for details).
• Enable I maskable interrupts by clearing the I bit in the CCR.
• Enable the X maskable interrupt by clearing the X bit in the CCR (if required).
6.5.2
Interrupt Nesting
The interrupt request priority level scheme makes it possible to implement priority based interrupt request
nesting for the I bit maskable interrupt requests handled by the CPU.
• I bit maskable interrupt requests can be interrupted by an interrupt request with a higher priority,
so that there can be up to seven nested I bit maskable interrupt requests at a time (refer to Figure 614 for an example using up to three nested interrupt requests).
I bit maskable interrupt requests cannot be interrupted by other I bit maskable interrupt requests per
default. In order to make an interrupt service routine (ISR) interruptible, the ISR must explicitly clear the
I bit in the CCR (CLI). After clearing the I bit, I bit maskable interrupt requests with higher priority can
interrupt the current ISR.
An ISR of an interruptible I bit maskable interrupt request could basically look like this:
• Service interrupt, e.g., clear interrupt flags, copy data, etc.
• Clear I bit in the CCR by executing the instruction CLI (thus allowing interrupt requests with
higher priority)
• Process data
• Return from interrupt by executing the instruction RTI

Wake Up from Stop or Wait Mode
CPU Wake Up from Stop or Wait Mode
Only I bit maskable interrupt requests which are configured to be handled by the CPU are capable of
waking the MCU from wait mode.
Since bus and core clocks are disabled in stop mode, only interrupt requests that can be generated without
these clocks can wake the MCU from stop mode. These are listed in the device overview interrupt vector
table. Only I bit maskable interrupt requests which are configured to be handled by the CPU are capable
of waking the MCU from stop mode.
To determine whether an I bit maskable interrupt is qualified to wake up the CPU or not, the same settings
as in normal run mode are applied during stop or wait mode:
• If the I bit in the CCR is set, all I bit maskable interrupts are masked from waking up the MCU.
• An I bit maskable interrupt is ignored if it is configured to a priority level below or equal to the
current IPL in CCR.
• I bit maskable interrupt requests which are configured to be handled by the XGATE module are not
capable of waking up the CPU.
The X bit maskable interrupt request can wake up the MCU from stop or wait mode at anytime, even if the
X bit in CCR is set. If the X bit maskable interrupt request is used to wake-up the MCU with the X bit in
the CCR set, the associated ISR is not called. The CPU then resumes program execution with the
instruction following the WAI or STOP instruction. This features works following the same rules like any
interrupt request, i.e. care must be taken that the X interrupt request used for wake-up remains active at
least until the system begins execution of the instruction following the WAI or STOP instruction;
otherwise, wake-up may not occur.

Description of Changes
Introduction
This section describes the functionality of the background debug module (BDM) sub-block of the
HCS12X core platform.
The background debug module (BDM) sub-block is a single-wire, background debug system implemented
in on-chip hardware for minimal CPU intervention. All interfacing with the BDM is done via the BKGD
pin.
The BDM has enhanced capability for maintaining synchronization between the target and host while
allowing more flexibility in clock rates. This includes a sync signal to determine the communication rate
and a handshake signal to indicate when an operation is complete. The system is backwards compatible to
the BDM of the S12 family with the following exceptions:
• TAGGO command no longer supported by BDM
• External instruction tagging feature now part of DBG module
• BDM register map and register content extended/modified
• Global page access functionality
• Enabled but not active out of reset in emulation modes (if modes available)
• CLKSW bit set out of reset in emulation modes (if modes available).
• Family ID readable from firmware ROM at global address 0x7FFF0F (value for HCS12X devices
is 0xC1)
7.1.1
Features
The BDM includes these distinctive features:
• Single-wire communication with host development system
• Enhanced capability for allowing more flexibility in clock rates
• SYNC command to determine communication rate
• GO_UNTIL command

7.1.2
Modes of Operation
BDM is available in all operating modes but must be enabled before firmware commands are executed.
Some systems may have a control bit that allows suspending thefunction during background debug mode.
7.1.2.1
Regular Run Modes
All of these operations refer to the part in run mode and not being secured. The BDM does not provide
controls to conserve power during run mode.
• Normal modes
General operation of the BDM is available and operates the same in all normal modes.
• Special single chip mode
In special single chip mode, background operation is enabled and active out of reset. This allows
programming a system with blank memory.
• Emulation modes (if modes available)
In emulation mode, background operation is enabled but not active out of reset. This allows
debugging and programming a system in this mode more easily.
7.1.2.2
Secure Mode Operation
If the device is in secure mode, the operation of the BDM is reduced to a small subset of its regular run
mode operation. Secure operation prevents BDM and CPU accesses to non-volatile memory (Flash and/or
EEPROM) other than allowing erasure. For more information please see Section 7.4.1, “Security”.

7.1.2.3
Low-Power Modes
The BDM can be used until all bus masters (e.g., CPU or XGATE or others depending on which masters
are available on the SOC) are in stop mode. When CPU is in a low power mode (wait or stop mode) all
BDM firmware commands as well as the hardware BACKGROUND command can not be used
respectively are ignored. In this case the CPU can not enter BDM active mode, and only hardware read and
write commands are available. Also the CPU can not enter a low power mode during BDM active mode.
If all bus masters are in stop mode, the BDM clocks are stopped as well. When BDM clocks are disabled
and one of the bus masters exits from stop mode the BDM clocks will restart and BDM will have a soft
reset (clearing the instruction register, any command in progress and disable the ACK function). The BDM
is now ready to receive a new command.

1. ENBDM is read as 1 by a debugging environment in special single chip mode when the device is not secured or secured but
fully erased (non-volatile memory). This is because the ENBDM bit is set by the standard firmware before a BDM command
can be fully transmitted and executed.
2. CLKSW is read as 1 by a debugging environment in emulation modes when the device is not secured and read as 0 when
secured if emulation modes available.
3. UNSEC is read as 1 by a debugging environment in special single chip mode when the device is secured and fully erased,
else it is 0 and can only be read if not secure (see also bit description).

— ENBDM should only be set via a BDM hardware command if the BDM firmware commands
are needed. (This does not apply in special single chip and emulation modes).
— BDMACT can only be set by BDM hardware upon entry into BDM. It can only be cleared by
the standard BDM firmware lookup table upon exit from BDM active mode.
— CLKSW can only be written via BDM hardware WRITE_BD commands.
— All other bits, while writable via BDM hardware or standard BDM firmware write commands,
should only be altered by the BDM hardware or standard firmware lookup table as part of BDM
command execution.

ENBDM
Enable BDM — This bit controls whether the BDM is enabled or disabled. When enabled, BDM can be made
active to allow firmware commands to be executed. When disabled, BDM cannot be made active but BDM
hardware commands are still allowed.
0 BDM disabled
1 BDM enabled
Note: ENBDM is set by the firmware out of reset in special single chip mode. In emulation modes (if modes
available) the ENBDM bit is set by BDM hardware out of reset. In special single chip mode with the device
secured, this bit will not be set by the firmware until after the non-volatile memory erase verify tests are
complete. In emulation modes (if modes available) with the device secured, the BDM operations are
blocked.
6
BDMACT
BDM Active Status — This bit becomes set upon entering BDM. The standard BDM firmware lookup table is
then enabled and put into the memory map. BDMACT is cleared by a carefully timed store instruction in the
standard BDM firmware as part of the exit sequence to return to user code and remove the BDM memory from
the map.
0 BDM not active
1 BDM active
4
SDV
Shift Data Valid — This bit is set and cleared by the BDM hardware. It is set after data has been transmitted as
part of a firmware or hardware read command or after data has been received as part of a firmware or hardware
write command. It is cleared when the next BDM command has been received or BDM is exited. SDV is used
by the standard BDM firmware to control program flow execution.
0 Data phase of command not complete
1 Data phase of command is complete
3
TRACE
TRACE1 BDM Firmware Command is Being Executed — This bit gets set when a BDM TRACE1 firmware
command is first recognized. It will stay set until BDM firmware is exited by one of the following BDM commands:
GO or GO_UNTIL.
0 TRACE1 command is not being executed
1 TRACE1 command is being executed

CLKSW
Clock Switch — The CLKSW bit controls which clock the BDM operates with. It is only writable from a hardware
BDM command. A minimum delay of 150 cycles at the clock speed that is active during the data portion of the
command send to change the clock source should occur before the next command can be send. The delay
should be obtained no matter which bit is modified to effectively change the clock source (either PLLSEL bit or
CLKSW bit). This guarantees that the start of the next BDM command uses the new clock for timing subsequent
BDM communications.
Table 7-4 shows the resulting BDM clock source based on the CLKSW and the PLLSEL (PLL select in the CRG
module, the bit is part of the CLKSEL register) bits.
Note: The BDM alternate clock source can only be selected when CLKSW = 0 and PLLSEL = 1. The BDM serial
interface is now fully synchronized to the alternate clock source, when enabled. This eliminates frequency
restriction on the alternate clock which was required on previous versions. Refer to the device
specification to determine which clock connects to the alternate clock source input.
Note: If the acknowledge function is turned on, changing the CLKSW bit will cause the ACK to be at the new
rate for the write command which changes it.
Note: In emulation modes (if modes available), the CLKSW bit will be set out of RESET.

Unsecure — If the device is secured this bit is only writable in special single chip mode from the BDM secure
firmware. It is in a zero state as secure mode is entered so that the secure BDM firmware lookup table is enabled
and put into the memory map overlapping the standard BDM firmware lookup table.
The secure BDM firmware lookup table verifies that the non-volatile memories (e.g. on-chip EEPROM and/or
Flash EEPROM) are erased. This being the case, the UNSEC bit is set and the BDM program jumps to the start
of the standard BDM firmware lookup table and the secure BDM firmware lookup table is turned off. If the erase
test fails, the UNSEC bit will not be asserted.
0 System is in a secured mode.
1 System is in a unsecured mode.
Note: When UNSEC is set, security is off and the user can change the state of the secure bits in the on-chip
Flash EEPROM. Note that if the user does not change the state of the bits to “unsecured” mode, the
system will be secured again when it is next taken out of reset.After reset this bit has no meaning or effect
when the security byte in the Flash EEPROM is configured for unsecure mode.

When BDM is made active, the CPU stores the content of its CCRL register
in the BDMCCRL register. However, out of special single-chip reset, the

Functional Description
The BDM receives and executes commands from a host via a single wire serial interface. There are two
types of BDM commands: hardware and firmware commands.
Hardware commands are used to read and write target system memory locations and to enter active
background debug mode, see Section 7.4.3, “BDM Hardware Commands”. Target system memory
includes all memory that is accessible by the CPU.
Firmware commands are used to read and write CPU resources and to exit from active background debug
mode, see Section 7.4.4, “Standard BDM Firmware Commands”. The CPU resources referred to are the
accumulator (D), X index register (X), Y index register (Y), stack pointer (SP), and program counter (PC).
Hardware commands can be executed at any time and in any mode excluding a few exceptions as
highlighted (see Section 7.4.3, “BDM Hardware Commands”) and in secure mode (see Section 7.4.1,
“Security”). Firmware commands can only be executed when the system is not secure and is in active
background debug mode (BDM).

7.4.1
Security
If the user resets into special single chip mode with the system secured, a secured mode BDM firmware
lookup table is brought into the map overlapping a portion of the standard BDM firmware lookup table.
The secure BDM firmware verifies that the on-chip non-volatile memory (e.g. EEPROM and Flash
EEPROM) is erased. This being the case, the UNSEC and ENBDM bit will get set. The BDM program
jumps to the start of the standard BDM firmware and the secured mode BDM firmware is turned off and
all BDM commands are allowed. If the non-volatile memory does not verify as erased, the BDM firmware
sets the ENBDM bit, without asserting UNSEC, and the firmware enters a loop. This causes the BDM
hardware commands to become enabled, but does not enable the firmware commands. This allows the
BDM hardware to be used to erase the non-volatile memory.
BDM operation is not possible in any other mode than special single chip mode when the device is secured.
The device can be unsecured via BDM serial interface in special single chip mode only. More information
regarding security is provided in the security section of the device documentation.
7.4.2
Enabling and Activating BDM
The system must be in active BDM to execute standard BDM firmware commands. BDM can be activated
only after being enabled. BDM is enabled by setting the ENBDM bit in the BDM status (BDMSTS)
register. The ENBDM bit is set by writing to the BDM status (BDMSTS) register, via the single-wire
interface, using a hardware command such as WRITE_BD_BYTE.
After being enabled, BDM is activated by one of the following1:
• Hardware BACKGROUND command
• CPU BGND instruction
• External instruction tagging mechanism2
• Breakpoint force or tag mechanism2
When BDM is activated, the CPU finishes executing the current instruction and then begins executing the
firmware in the standard BDM firmware lookup table. When BDM is activated by a breakpoint, the type
of breakpoint used determines if BDM becomes active before or after execution of the next instruction.
NOTE
If an attempt is made to activate BDM before being enabled, the CPU
resumes normal instruction execution after a brief delay. If BDM is not
enabled, any hardware BACKGROUND commands issued are ignored by
the BDM and the CPU is not delayed.
In active BDM, the BDM registers and standard BDM firmware lookup table are mapped to addresses
0x7FFF00 to 0x7FFFFF. BDM registers are mapped to addresses 0x7FFF00 to 0x7FFF0B. The BDM uses
these registers which are readable anytime by the BDM. However, these registers are not readable by user
programs.
1. BDM is enabled and active immediately out of special single-chip reset.
2. This method is provided by the S12X_DBG module.

Chapter 7 Background Debug Module (S12XBDMV2)
7.4.3
BDM Hardware Commands
Hardware commands are used to read and write target system memory locations and to enter active
background debug mode. Target system memory includes all memory that is accessible by the CPU on the
SOC which can be on-chip RAM, non-volatile memory (e.g. EEPROM, Flash EEPROM), I/O and control
registers, and all external memory.
Hardware commands are executed with minimal or no CPU intervention and do not require the system to
be in active BDM for execution, although, they can still be executed in this mode. When executing a
hardware command, the BDM sub-block waits for a free bus cycle so that the background access does not
disturb the running application program. If a free cycle is not found within 128 clock cycles, the CPU is
momentarily frozen so that the BDM can steal a cycle. When the BDM finds a free cycle, the operation
does not intrude on normal CPU operation provided that it can be completed in a single cycle. However,
if an operation requires multiple cycles the CPU is frozen until the operation is complete, even though the
BDM found a free cycle.
The BDM hardware commands are listed in Table 7-6.
The READ_BD and WRITE_BD commands allow access to the BDM register locations. These locations
are not normally in the system memory map but share addresses with the application in memory. To
distinguish between physical memory locations that share the same address, BDM memory resources are
enabled just for the READ_BD and WRITE_BD access cycle. This allows the BDM to access BDM
locations unobtrusively, even if the addresses conflict with the application memory map.

Standard BDM Firmware Commands
Firmware commands are used to access and manipulate CPU resources. The system must be in active
BDM to execute standard BDM firmware commands, see Section 7.4.2, “Enabling and Activating BDM”.
Normal instruction execution is suspended while the CPU executes the firmware located in the standard
BDM firmware lookup table. The hardware command BACKGROUND is the usual way to activate BDM.
As the system enters active BDM, the standard BDM firmware lookup table and BDM registers become
visible in the on-chip memory map at 0x7FFF00–0x7FFFFF, and the CPU begins executing the standard
BDM firmware. The standard BDM firmware watches for serial commands and executes them as they are
received.
The firmware commands are shown in Table 7-7.

7.4.5
BDM Command Structure
Hardware and firmware BDM commands start with an 8-bit opcode followed by a 16-bit address and/or a
16-bit data word depending on the command. All the read commands return 16 bits of data despite the byte
or word implication in the command name.
8-bit reads return 16-bits of data, of which, only one byte will contain valid data. If reading an even
address, the valid data will appear in the MSB. If reading an odd address, the valid data will appear in the
LSB.
MC9S12XE-Family Reference Manual Rev. 1.25
Freescale Semiconductor
291
Chapter 7 Background Debug Module (S12XBDMV2)
16-bit misaligned reads and writes are generally not allowed. If attempted by BDM hardware command,
the BDM will ignore the least significant bit of the address and will assume an even address from the
remaining bits.
For devices with external bus:
The following cycle count information is only valid when the external wait function is not used (see wait
bit of EBI sub-block). During an external wait the BDM can not steal a cycle. Hence be careful with the
external wait function if the BDM serial interface is much faster than the bus, because of the BDM softreset after time-out (see Section 7.4.11, “Serial Communication Time Out”).
For hardware data read commands, the external host must wait at least 150 bus clock cycles after sending
the address before attempting to obtain the read data. This is to be certain that valid data is available in the
BDM shift register, ready to be shifted out. For hardware write commands, the external host must wait
150 bus clock cycles after sending the data to be written before attempting to send a new command. This
is to avoid disturbing the BDM shift register before the write has been completed. The 150 bus clock cycle
delay in both cases includes the maximum 128 cycle delay that can be incurred as the BDM waits for a
free cycle before stealing a cycle.
For firmware read commands, the external host should wait at least 48 bus clock cycles after sending the
command opcode and before attempting to obtain the read data. This includes the potential of extra cycles
when the access is external and stretched (+1 to maximum +7 cycles) or to registers of the PRU (port
replacement unit) in emulation modes (if modes available). The 48 cycle wait allows enough time for the
requested data to be made available in the BDM shift register, ready to be shifted out.
NOTE
This timing has increased from previous BDM modules due to the new
capability in which the BDM serial interface can potentially run faster than
the bus. On previous BDM modules this extra time could be hidden within
the serial time.
For firmware write commands, the external host must wait 36 bus clock cycles after sending the data to be
written before attempting to send a new command. This is to avoid disturbing the BDM shift register
before the write has been completed.
The external host should wait at least for 76 bus clock cycles after a TRACE1 or GO command before
starting any new serial command. This is to allow the CPU to exit gracefully from the standard BDM
firmware lookup table and resume execution of the user code. Disturbing the BDM shift register
prematurely may adversely affect the exit from the standard BDM firmware lookup table.
NOTE
If the bus rate of the target processor is unknown or could be changing or the
external wait function is used, it is recommended that the ACK
(acknowledge function) is used to indicate when an operation is complete.
When using ACK, the delay times are automated.
Figure 7-7 represents the BDM command structure. The command blocks illustrate a series of eight bit
times starting with a falling edge. The bar across the top of the blocks indicates that the BKGD line idles
in the high state. The time for an 8-bit command is 8 × 16 target clock cycles.1

BDM Serial Interface
The BDM communicates with external devices serially via the BKGD pin. During reset, this pin is a mode
select input which selects between normal and special modes of operation. After reset, this pin becomes
the dedicated serial interface pin for the BDM.
The BDM serial interface is timed using the clock selected by the CLKSW bit in the status register see
Section 7.3.2.1, “BDM Status Register (BDMSTS)”. This clock will be referred to as the target clock in
the following explanation.
The BDM serial interface uses a clocking scheme in which the external host generates a falling edge on
the BKGD pin to indicate the start of each bit time. This falling edge is sent for every bit whether data is
transmitted or received. Data is transferred most significant bit (MSB) first at 16 target clock cycles per
bit. The interface times out if 512 clock cycles occur between falling edges from the host.
The BKGD pin is a pseudo open-drain pin and has an weak on-chip active pull-up that is enabled at all
times. It is assumed that there is an external pull-up and that drivers connected to BKGD do not typically
drive the high level. Since R-C rise time could be unacceptably long, the target system and host provide
brief driven-high (speedup) pulses to drive BKGD to a logic 1. The source of this speedup pulse is the host
for transmit cases and the target for receive cases.
The timing for host-to-target is shown in Figure 7-8 and that of target-to-host in Figure 7-9 and
Figure 7-10. All four cases begin when the host drives the BKGD pin low to generate a falling edge. Since
the host and target are operating from separate clocks, it can take the target system up to one full clock
1. Target clock cycles are cycles measured using the target MCU’s serial clock rate. See Section 7.4.6, “BDM Serial Interface”
and Section 7.3.2.1, “BDM Status Register (BDMSTS)” for information on how serial clock rate is selected.

cycle to recognize this edge. The target measures delays from this perceived start of the bit time while the
host measures delays from the point it actually drove BKGD low to start the bit up to one target clock cycle
earlier. Synchronization between the host and target is established in this manner at the start of every bit
time.
Figure 7-8 shows an external host transmitting a logic 1 and transmitting a logic 0 to the BKGD pin of a
target system. The host is asynchronous to the target, so there is up to a one clock-cycle delay from the
host-generated falling edge to where the target recognizes this edge as the beginning of the bit time. Ten
target clock cycles later, the target senses the bit level on the BKGD pin. Internal glitch detect logic
requires the pin be driven high no later that eight target clock cycles after the falling edge for a logic 1
transmission.
Since the host drives the high speedup pulses in these two cases, the rising edges look like digitally driven
signals.

The receive cases are more complicated. Figure 7-9 shows the host receiving a logic 1 from the target
system. Since the host is asynchronous to the target, there is up to one clock-cycle delay from the hostgenerated falling edge on BKGD to the perceived start of the bit time in the target. The host holds the
BKGD pin low long enough for the target to recognize it (at least two target clock cycles). The host must
release the low drive before the target drives a brief high speedup pulse seven target clock cycles after the
perceived start of the bit time. The host should sample the bit level about 10 target clock cycles after it
started the bit time.

Figure 7-10 shows the host receiving a logic 0 from the target. Since the host is asynchronous to the target,
there is up to a one clock-cycle delay from the host-generated falling edge on BKGD to the start of the bit
time as perceived by the target. The host initiates the bit time but the target finishes it. Since the target
wants the host to receive a logic 0, it drives the BKGD pin low for 13 target clock cycles then briefly drives
it high to speed up the rising edge. The host samples the bit level about 10 target clock cycles after starting
the bit time.

Serial Interface Hardware Handshake Protocol
BDM commands that require CPU execution are ultimately treated at the MCU bus rate. Since the BDM
clock source can be asynchronously related to the bus frequency, when CLKSW = 0, it is very helpful to
provide a handshake protocol in which the host could determine when an issued command is executed by
the CPU. The alternative is to always wait the amount of time equal to the appropriate number of cycles at
the slowest possible rate the clock could be running. This sub-section will describe the hardware
handshake protocol.
The hardware handshake protocol signals to the host controller when an issued command was successfully
executed by the target. This protocol is implemented by a 16 serial clock cycle low pulse followed by a
brief speedup pulse in the BKGD pin. This pulse is generated by the target MCU when a command, issued
by the host, has been successfully executed (see Figure 7-11). This pulse is referred to as the ACK pulse.
After the ACK pulse has finished: the host can start the bit retrieval if the last issued command was a read
command, or start a new command if the last command was a write command or a control command
(BACKGROUND, GO, GO_UNTIL or TRACE1). The ACK pulse is not issued earlier than 32 serial clock
cycles after the BDM command was issued. The end of the BDM command is assumed to be the 16th tick
of the last bit. This minimum delay assures enough time for the host to perceive the ACK pulse. Note also
that, there is no upper limit for the delay between the command and the related ACK pulse, since the
command execution depends upon the CPU bus frequency, which in some cases could be very slow

compared to the serial communication rate. This protocol allows a great flexibility for the POD designers,
since it does not rely on any accurate time measurement or short response time to any event in the serial
communication.

Figure 7-11. Target Acknowledge Pulse (ACK)
NOTE
If the ACK pulse was issued by the target, the host assumes the previous
command was executed. If the CPU enters wait or stop prior to executing a
hardware command, the ACK pulse will not be issued meaning that the
BDM command was not executed. After entering wait or stop mode, the
BDM command is no longer pending.
Figure 7-12 shows the ACK handshake protocol in a command level timing diagram. The READ_BYTE
instruction is used as an example. First, the 8-bit instruction opcode is sent by the host, followed by the
address of the memory location to be read. The target BDM decodes the instruction. A bus cycle is grabbed
(free or stolen) by the BDM and it executes the READ_BYTE operation. Having retrieved the data, the
BDM issues an ACK pulse to the host controller, indicating that the addressed byte is ready to be retrieved.
After detecting the ACK pulse, the host initiates the byte retrieval process. Note that data is sent in the form
of a word and the host needs to determine which is the appropriate byte based on whether the address was
odd or even.

Chapter 7 Background Debug Module (S12XBDMV2)
Differently from the normal bit transfer (where the host initiates the transmission), the serial interface ACK
handshake pulse is initiated by the target MCU by issuing a negative edge in the BKGD pin. The hardware
handshake protocol in Figure 7-11 specifies the timing when the BKGD pin is being driven, so the host
should follow this timing constraint in order to avoid the risk of an electrical conflict in the BKGD pin.
NOTE
The only place the BKGD pin can have an electrical conflict is when one
side is driving low and the other side is issuing a speedup pulse (high). Other
“highs” are pulled rather than driven. However, at low rates the time of the
speedup pulse can become lengthy and so the potential conflict time
becomes longer as well.
The ACK handshake protocol does not support nested ACK pulses. If a BDM command is not
acknowledge by an ACK pulse, the host needs to abort the pending command first in order to be able to
issue a new BDM command. When the CPU enters wait or stop while the host issues a hardware command
(e.g., WRITE_BYTE), the target discards the incoming command due to the wait or stop being detected.
Therefore, the command is not acknowledged by the target, which means that the ACK pulse will not be
issued in this case. After a certain time the host (not aware of stop or wait) should decide to abort any
possible pending ACK pulse in order to be sure a new command can be issued. Therefore, the protocol
provides a mechanism in which a command, and its corresponding ACK, can be aborted.
NOTE
The ACK pulse does not provide a time out. This means for the GO_UNTIL
command that it can not be distinguished if a stop or wait has been executed
(command discarded and ACK not issued) or if the “UNTIL” condition
(BDM active) is just not reached yet. Hence in any case where the ACK
pulse of a command is not issued the possible pending command should be
aborted before issuing a new command. See the handshake abort procedure
described in Section 7.4.8, “Hardware Handshake Abort Procedure”.
7.4.8
Hardware Handshake Abort Procedure
The abort procedure is based on the SYNC command. In order to abort a command, which had not issued
the corresponding ACK pulse, the host controller should generate a low pulse in the BKGD pin by driving
it low for at least 128 serial clock cycles and then driving it high for one serial clock cycle, providing a
speedup pulse. By detecting this long low pulse in the BKGD pin, the target executes the SYNC protocol,
see Section 7.4.9, “SYNC — Request Timed Reference Pulse”, and assumes that the pending command
and therefore the related ACK pulse, are being aborted. Therefore, after the SYNC protocol has been
completed the host is free to issue new BDM commands. For Firmware READ or WRITE commands it
can not be guaranteed that the pending command is aborted when issuing a SYNC before the
corresponding ACK pulse. There is a short latency time from the time the READ or WRITE access begins
until it is finished and the corresponding ACK pulse is issued. The latency time depends on the firmware
READ or WRITE command that is issued and if the serial interface is running on a different clock rate
than the bus. When the SYNC command starts during this latency time the READ or WRITE command
will not be aborted, but the corresponding ACK pulse will be aborted. A pending GO, TRACE1 or
MC9S12XE-Family Reference Manual Rev. 1.25

Chapter 7 Background Debug Module (S12XBDMV2)
GO_UNTIL command can not be aborted. Only the corresponding ACK pulse can be aborted by the
SYNC command.
Although it is not recommended, the host could abort a pending BDM command by issuing a low pulse in
the BKGD pin shorter than 128 serial clock cycles, which will not be interpreted as the SYNC command.
The ACK is actually aborted when a negative edge is perceived by the target in the BKGD pin. The short
abort pulse should have at least 4 clock cycles keeping the BKGD pin low, in order to allow the negative
edge to be detected by the target. In this case, the target will not execute the SYNC protocol but the pending
command will be aborted along with the ACK pulse. The potential problem with this abort procedure is
when there is a conflict between the ACK pulse and the short abort pulse. In this case, the target may not
perceive the abort pulse. The worst case is when the pending command is a read command (i.e.,
READ_BYTE). If the abort pulse is not perceived by the target the host will attempt to send a new
command after the abort pulse was issued, while the target expects the host to retrieve the accessed
memory byte. In this case, host and target will run out of synchronism. However, if the command to be
aborted is not a read command the short abort pulse could be used. After a command is aborted the target
assumes the next negative edge, after the abort pulse, is the first bit of a new BDM command.
NOTE
The details about the short abort pulse are being provided only as a reference
for the reader to better understand the BDM internal behavior. It is not
recommended that this procedure be used in a real application.
Since the host knows the target serial clock frequency, the SYNC command (used to abort a command)
does not need to consider the lower possible target frequency. In this case, the host could issue a SYNC
very close to the 128 serial clock cycles length. Providing a small overhead on the pulse length in order to
assure the SYNC pulse will not be misinterpreted by the target. See Section 7.4.9, “SYNC — Request
Timed Reference Pulse”.
Figure 7-13 shows a SYNC command being issued after a READ_BYTE, which aborts the READ_BYTE
command. Note that, after the command is aborted a new command could be issued by the host computer.

Chapter 7 Background Debug Module (S12XBDMV2)
Consider that the target CPU is executing a pending BDM command at the exact moment the POD is being
connected to the BKGD pin. In this case, an ACK pulse is issued along with the SYNC command. In this
case, there is an electrical conflict between the ACK speedup pulse and the SYNC pulse. Since this is not
a probable situation, the protocol does not prevent this conflict from happening.

NOTE
This information is being provided so that the MCU integrator will be aware
that such a conflict could eventually occur.
The hardware handshake protocol is enabled by the ACK_ENABLE and disabled by the ACK_DISABLE
BDM commands. This provides backwards compatibility with the existing POD devices which are not
able to execute the hardware handshake protocol. It also allows for new POD devices, that support the
hardware handshake protocol, to freely communicate with the target device. If desired, without the need
for waiting for the ACK pulse.
The commands are described as follows:
• ACK_ENABLE — enables the hardware handshake protocol. The target will issue the ACK pulse
when a CPU command is executed by the CPU. The ACK_ENABLE command itself also has the
ACK pulse as a response.
• ACK_DISABLE — disables the ACK pulse protocol. In this case, the host needs to use the worst
case delay time at the appropriate places in the protocol.
The default state of the BDM after reset is hardware handshake protocol disabled.
All the read commands will ACK (if enabled) when the data bus cycle has completed and the data is then
ready for reading out by the BKGD serial pin. All the write commands will ACK (if enabled) after the data
has been received by the BDM through the BKGD serial pin and when the data bus cycle is complete. See
Section 7.4.3, “BDM Hardware Commands” and Section 7.4.4, “Standard BDM Firmware Commands”
for more information on the BDM commands.
MC9S12XE-Family Reference Manual Rev. 1.25

Freescale Semiconductor
Chapter 7 Background Debug Module (S12XBDMV2)
The ACK_ENABLE sends an ACK pulse when the command has been completed. This feature could be
used by the host to evaluate if the target supports the hardware handshake protocol. If an ACK pulse is
issued in response to this command, the host knows that the target supports the hardware handshake
protocol. If the target does not support the hardware handshake protocol the ACK pulse is not issued. In
this case, the ACK_ENABLE command is ignored by the target since it is not recognized as a valid
command.
The BACKGROUND command will issue an ACK pulse when the CPU changes from normal to
background mode. The ACK pulse related to this command could be aborted using the SYNC command.
The GO command will issue an ACK pulse when the CPU exits from background mode. The ACK pulse
related to this command could be aborted using the SYNC command.
The GO_UNTIL command is equivalent to a GO command with exception that the ACK pulse, in this
case, is issued when the CPU enters into background mode. This command is an alternative to the GO
command and should be used when the host wants to trace if a breakpoint match occurs and causes the
CPU to enter active background mode. Note that the ACK is issued whenever the CPU enters BDM, which
could be caused by a breakpoint match or by a BGND instruction being executed. The ACK pulse related
to this command could be aborted using the SYNC command.
The TRACE1 command has the related ACK pulse issued when the CPU enters background active mode
after one instruction of the application program is executed. The ACK pulse related to this command could
be aborted using the SYNC command.
7.4.9
SYNC — Request Timed Reference Pulse
The SYNC command is unlike other BDM commands because the host does not necessarily know the
correct communication speed to use for BDM communications until after it has analyzed the response to
the SYNC command. To issue a SYNC command, the host should perform the following steps:
1. Drive the BKGD pin low for at least 128 cycles at the lowest possible BDM serial communication
frequency (the lowest serial communication frequency is determined by the crystal oscillator or the
clock chosen by CLKSW.)
2. Drive BKGD high for a brief speedup pulse to get a fast rise time (this speedup pulse is typically
one cycle of the host clock.)
3. Remove all drive to the BKGD pin so it reverts to high impedance.
4. Listen to the BKGD pin for the sync response pulse.
Upon detecting the SYNC request from the host, the target performs the following steps:
1. Discards any incomplete command received or bit retrieved.
2. Waits for BKGD to return to a logic one.
3. Delays 16 cycles to allow the host to stop driving the high speedup pulse.
4. Drives BKGD low for 128 cycles at the current BDM serial communication frequency.
5. Drives a one-cycle high speedup pulse to force a fast rise time on BKGD.
6. Removes all drive to the BKGD pin so it reverts to high impedance.
The host measures the low time of this 128 cycle SYNC response pulse and determines the correct speed
for subsequent BDM communications. Typically, the host can determine the correct communication speed
MC9S12XE-Family Reference Manual Rev. 1.25
Freescale Semiconductor
301
Chapter 7 Background Debug Module (S12XBDMV2)
within a few percent of the actual target speed and the communication protocol can easily tolerate speed
errors of several percent.
As soon as the SYNC request is detected by the target, any partially received command or bit retrieved is
discarded. This is referred to as a soft-reset, equivalent to a time-out in the serial communication. After the
SYNC response, the target will consider the next negative edge (issued by the host) as the start of a new
BDM command or the start of new SYNC request.
Another use of the SYNC command pulse is to abort a pending ACK pulse. The behavior is exactly the
same as in a regular SYNC command. Note that one of the possible causes for a command to not be
acknowledged by the target is a host-target synchronization problem. In this case, the command may not
have been understood by the target and so an ACK response pulse will not be issued.
7.4.10
Instruction Tracing
When a TRACE1 command is issued to the BDM in active BDM, the CPU exits the standard BDM
firmware and executes a single instruction in the user code. Once this has occurred, the CPU is forced to
return to the standard BDM firmware and the BDM is active and ready to receive a new command. If the
TRACE1 command is issued again, the next user instruction will be executed. This facilitates stepping or
tracing through the user code one instruction at a time.
If an interrupt is pending when a TRACE1 command is issued, the interrupt stacking operation occurs but
no user instruction is executed. Once back in standard BDM firmware execution, the program counter
points to the first instruction in the interrupt service routine.
Be aware when tracing through the user code that the execution of the user code is done step by step but
all peripherals are free running. Hence possible timing relations between CPU code execution and
occurrence of events of other peripherals no longer exist.
Do not trace the CPU instruction BGND used for soft breakpoints. Tracing the BGND instruction will
result in a return address pointing to BDM firmware address space.
When tracing through user code which contains stop or wait instructions the following will happen when
the stop or wait instruction is traced:
The CPU enters stop or wait mode and the TRACE1 command can not be finished before leaving the low
power mode. This is the case because BDM active mode can not be entered after CPU executed the stop
instruction. However all BDM hardware commands except the BACKGROUND command are operational
after tracing a stop or wait instruction and still being in stop or wait mode. If system stop mode is entered
(all bus masters are in stop mode) no BDM command is operational.
As soon as stop or wait mode is exited the CPU enters BDM active mode and the saved PC value points to
the entry of the corresponding interrupt service routine.
In case the handshake feature is enabled the corresponding ACK pulse of the TRACE1 command will be
discarded when tracing a stop or wait instruction. Hence there is no ACK pulse when BDM active mode
is entered as part of the TRACE1 command after CPU exited from stop or wait mode. All valid commands
sent during CPU being in stop or wait mode or after CPU exited from stop or wait mode will have an ACK
pulse. The handshake feature becomes disabled only when system stop mode has been reached. Hence
MC9S12XE-Family Reference Manual Rev. 1.25
302
Freescale Semiconductor
Chapter 7 Background Debug Module (S12XBDMV2)
after a system stop mode the handshake feature must be enabled again by sending the ACK_ENABLE
command.
7.4.11
Serial Communication Time Out
The host initiates a host-to-target serial transmission by generating a falling edge on the BKGD pin. If
BKGD is kept low for more than 128 target clock cycles, the target understands that a SYNC command
was issued. In this case, the target will keep waiting for a rising edge on BKGD in order to answer the
SYNC request pulse. If the rising edge is not detected, the target will keep waiting forever without any
time-out limit.
Consider now the case where the host returns BKGD to logic one before 128 cycles. This is interpreted as
a valid bit transmission, and not as a SYNC request. The target will keep waiting for another falling edge
marking the start of a new bit. If, however, a new falling edge is not detected by the target within 512 clock
cycles since the last falling edge, a time-out occurs and the current command is discarded without affecting
memory or the operating mode of the MCU. This is referred to as a soft-reset.
If a read command is issued but the data is not retrieved within 512 serial clock cycles, a soft-reset will
occur causing the command to be disregarded. The data is not available for retrieval after the time-out has
occurred. This is the expected behavior if the handshake protocol is not enabled. However, consider the
behavior where the BDM is running in a frequency much greater than the CPU frequency. In this case, the
command could time out before the data is ready to be retrieved. In order to allow the data to be retrieved
even with a large clock frequency mismatch (between BDM and CPU) when the hardware handshake
protocol is enabled, the time out between a read command and the data retrieval is disabled. Therefore, the
host could wait for more then 512 serial clock cycles and still be able to retrieve the data from an issued
read command. However, once the handshake pulse (ACK pulse) is issued, the time-out feature is reactivated, meaning that the target will time out after 512 clock cycles. Therefore, the host needs to retrieve
the data within a 512 serial clock cycles time frame after the ACK pulse had been issued. After that period,
the read command is discarded and the data is no longer available for retrieval. Any negative edge in the
BKGD pin after the time-out period is considered to be a new command or a SYNC request.
Note that whenever a partially issued command, or partially retrieved data, has occurred the time out in the
serial communication is active. This means that if a time frame higher than 512 serial clock cycles is
observed between two consecutive negative edges and the command being issued or data being retrieved
is not complete, a soft-reset will occur causing the partially received command or data retrieved to be
disregarded. The next negative edge in the BKGD pin, after a soft-reset has occurred, is considered by the
target as the start of a new BDM command, or the start of a SYNC request pulse.

Introduction
The S12XDBG module provides an on-chip trace buffer with flexible triggering capability to allow nonintrusive debug of application software. The S12XDBG module is optimized for the S12X 16-bit
architecture and allows debugging of CPU12Xand XGATE module operations.
Typically the S12XDBG module is used in conjunction with the S12XBDM module, whereby the user
configures the S12XDBG module for a debugging session over the BDM interface. Once configured the
S12XDBG module is armed and the device leaves BDM Mode returning control to the user program,
which is then monitored by the S12XDBG module. Alternatively the S12XDBG module can be configured
over a serial interface using SWI routines.

Overview
The comparators monitor the bus activity of the CPU12X and XGATE. When a match occurs the control
logic can trigger the state sequencer to a new state. On a transition to the Final State, bus tracing is triggered
and/or a breakpoint can be generated.
Independent of comparator matches a transition to Final State with associated tracing and breakpoint can
be triggered by the external TAGHI and TAGLO signals, or by an XGATE module S/W breakpoint request
or by writing to the TRIG control bit.
The trace buffer is visible through a 2-byte window in the register address map and can be read out using
standard 16-bit word reads. Tracing is disabled when the MCU system is secured.

Modes of Operation
The S12XDBG module can be used in all MCU functional modes.
During BDM hardware accesses and whilst the BDM module is active, CPU12X monitoring is disabled.
Thus breakpoints, comparators, and CPU12X bus tracing are disabled but XGATE bus monitoring
accessing the S12XDBG registers, including comparator registers, is still possible. While in active BDM
or during hardware BDM accesses, XGATE activity can still be compared, traced and can be used to
generate a breakpoint to the XGATE module. When the CPU12X enters active BDM Mode through a
BACKGROUND command, with the S12XDBG module armed, the S12XDBG remains armed.
The S12XDBG module tracing is disabled if the MCU is secure. However, breakpoints can still be
generated if the MCU is secure.

Register Descriptions
This section consists of the S12XDBG control and trace buffer register descriptions in address order. Each
comparator has a bank of registers that are visible through an 8-byte window between 0x0028 and 0x002F
in the S12XDBG module register address map. When ARM is set in DBGC1, the only bits in the
S12XDBG module registers that can be written are ARM, TRIG, and COMRV[1:0].

Bit 6 can be written anytime but always reads back as 0.
Bits 5:2 anytime S12XDBG is not armed.
NOTE
If a write access to DBGC1 with the ARM bit position set occurs
simultaneously to a hardware disarm from an internal trigger event, then the
ARM bit is cleared due to the hardware disarm.
NOTE
When disarming the S12XDBG by clearing ARM with software, the
contents of bits[5:2] are not affected by the write, since up until the write
operation, ARM = 1 preventing these bits from being written. These bits
must be cleared using a second write if required.

ARM
Arm Bit — The ARM bit controls whether the S12XDBG module is armed. This bit can be set and cleared by
user software and is automatically cleared on completion of a tracing session, or if a breakpoint is generated with
tracing not enabled. On setting this bit the state sequencer enters State1.
0 Debugger disarmed
1 Debugger armed
6
TRIG
Immediate Trigger Request Bit — This bit when written to 1 requests an immediate trigger independent of
comparator or external tag signal status. When tracing is complete a forced breakpoint may be generated
depending upon DBGBRK and BDM bit settings. This bit always reads back a 0. Writing a 0 to this bit has no
effect. If TSOURCE are clear no tracing is carried out. If tracing has already commenced using BEGIN- or MID
trigger alignment, it continues until the end of the tracing session as defined by the TALIGN bit settings, thus
TRIG has no affect. In secure mode tracing is disabled and writing to this bit has no effect.
0 Do not trigger until the state sequencer enters the Final State.
1 Trigger immediately .

XGSBPE
Description
XGATE S/W Breakpoint Enable — The XGSBPE bit controls whether an XGATE S/W breakpoint request is
passed to the CPU12X. The XGATE S/W breakpoint request is handled by the S12XDBG module, which can
request an CPU12X breakpoint depending on the state of this bit.
0 XGATE S/W breakpoint request is disabled
1 XGATE S/W breakpoint request is enabled
4
BDM
Background Debug Mode Enable — This bit determines if an S12X breakpoint causes the system to enter
Background Debug Mode (BDM) or initiate a Software Interrupt (SWI). If this bit is set but the BDM is not enabled
by the ENBDM bit in the BDM module, then breakpoints default to SWI.
0 Breakpoint to Software Interrupt if BDM inactive. Otherwise no breakpoint.
1 Breakpoint to BDM, if BDM enabled. Otherwise breakpoint to SWI
3–2
DBGBRK
S12XDBG Breakpoint Enable Bits — The DBGBRK bits control whether the debugger will request a breakpoint
to either CPU12X or XGATE or both upon reaching the state sequencer Final State. If tracing is enabled, the
breakpoint is generated on completion of the tracing session. If tracing is not enabled, the breakpoint is
generated immediately. Please refer to Section 8.4.7 for further details. XGATE software breakpoints are
independent of the DBGBRK bits. XGATE software breakpoints force a breakpoint to the CPU12X independent
of the DBGBRK bit field configuration. See Table 8-6.

COMRV
Comparator Register Visibility Bits — These bits determine which bank of comparator register is visible in the
8-byte window of the S12XDBG module address map, located between 0x0028 to 0x002F. Furthermore these
bits determine which register is visible at the address 0x0027. See Table 8-7.

TBF
Trace Buffer Full — The TBF bit indicates that the trace buffer has stored 64 or more lines of data since it was
last armed. If this bit is set, then all 64 lines will be valid data, regardless of the value of DBGCNT bits CNT[6:0].
The TBF bit is cleared when ARM in DBGC1 is written to a one. The TBF is cleared by the power on reset
initialization. Other system generated resets have no affect on this bit.

EXTF
External Tag Hit Flag — The EXTF bit indicates if a tag hit condition from an external TAGHI/TAGLO tag was
met since arming. This bit is cleared when ARM in DBGC1 is written to a one.
0 External tag hit has not occurred
1 External tag hit has occurred
2–0
SSF[2:0]
State Sequencer Flag Bits — The SSF bits indicate in which state the State Sequencer is currently in. During
a debug session on each transition to a new state these bits are updated. If the debug session is ended by
software clearing the ARM bit, then these bits retain their value to reflect the last state of the state sequencer
before disarming. If a debug session is ended by an internal trigger, then the state sequencer returns to state0
and these bits are cleared to indicate that state0 was entered during the session. On arming the module the state
sequencer enters state1 and these bits are forced to SSF[2:0] = 001. See Table 8-9.

Description
Trace Source Control Bits — The TSOURCE bits select the data source for the tracing session. If the MCU

TRANGE
Trace Range Bits — The TRANGE bits allow filtering of trace information from a selected address range when
tracing from the CPU12X in Detail Mode. The XGATE tracing range cannot be narrowed using these bits. To use
a comparator for range filtering, the corresponding COMPE and SRC bits must remain cleared. If the COMPE
bit is not clear then the comparator will also be used to generate state sequence triggers. If the corresponding
SRC bit is set the comparator is mapped to the XGATE buses, the TRANGE bits have no effect on the valid
address range, memory accesses within the whole memory map are traced. See Table 8-12.

TRCMOD
Trace Mode Bits — See Section 8.4.5.2 for detailed Trace Mode descriptions. In Normal Mode, change of flow

Trace Buffer Data Bits — The Trace Buffer Register is a window through which the 64-bit wide data lines of the
Trace Buffer may be read 16 bits at a time. Each valid read of DBGTB increments an internal trace buffer pointer
which points to the next address to be read. When the ARM bit is written to 1 the trace buffer is locked to prevent
reading. The trace buffer can only be unlocked for reading by writing to DBGTB with an aligned word write when
the module is disarmed. The DBGTB register can be read only as an aligned word, any byte reads or misaligned
access of these registers will return 0 and will not cause the trace buffer pointer to increment to the next trace
buffer address. The same is true for word reads while the debugger is armed. The POR state is undefined Other
resets do not affect the trace buffer contents. .

When the CNT rolls over to zero, the TBF bit in DBGSR is set and incrementing of CNT will continue in endtrigger or mid-trigger mode. The DBGCNT register is cleared when ARM in DBGC1 is written to a one. The
DBGCNT register is cleared by power-on-reset initialization but is not cleared by other system resets. Thus
should a reset occur during a debug session, the DBGCNT register still indicates after the reset, the number of

Debug State Control Registers
There is a dedicated control register for each of the state sequencer states 1 to 3 that determines if
transitions from that state are allowed, depending upon comparator matches or tag hits, and defines the
next state for the state sequencer following a match. The three debug state control registers are located at
the same address in the register address map (0x0027). Each register can be accessed using the COMRV
bits in DBGC1 to blend in the required register. The COMRV = 11 value blends in the match flag register
(DBGMFR).

Write: Never
DBGMFR is visible at 0x0027 only with COMRV[1:0] = 11. It features four flag bits each mapped directly
to a channel. Should a match occur on the channel during the debug session, then the corresponding flag
is set and remains set until the next time the module is armed by writing to the ARM bit. Thus the contents
are retained after a debug session for evaluation purposes. These flags cannot be cleared by software, they
are cleared only when arming the module. A set flag does not inhibit the setting of other flags. Once a flag
is set, further triggers on the same channel have no affect.

Comparator Register Descriptions
Each comparator has a bank of registers that are visible through an 8-byte window in the S12XDBG
module register address map. Comparators A and C consist of 8 register bytes (3 address bus compare
registers, two data bus compare registers, two data bus mask registers and a control register).
Comparators B and D consist of four register bytes (three address bus compare registers and a control
register).
Each set of comparator registers is accessible in the same 8-byte window of the register address map and
can be accessed using the COMRV bits in the DBGC1 register. If the Comparators B or D are accessed
through the 8-byte window, then only the address and control bytes are visible, the 4 bytes associated with
data bus and data bus masking read as zero and cannot be written. Furthermore the control registers for
comparators B and D differ from those of comparators A and C.

Functional Description
This section provides a complete functional description of the S12XDBG module. If the part is in secure
mode, the S12XDBG module can generate breakpoints but tracing is not possible.
MC9S12XE-Family Reference Manual Rev. 1.25
326
Freescale Semiconductor
Chapter 8 S12X Debug (S12XDBGV3) Module
8.4.1
S12XDBG Operation
Arming the S12XDBG module by setting ARM in DBGC1 allows triggering, and storing of data in the
trace buffer and can be used to cause breakpoints to the CPU12X or the XGATE module. The DBG module
is made up of four main blocks, the comparators, control logic, the state sequencer, and the trace buffer.
The comparators monitor the bus activity of the CPU12X and XGATE. Comparators can be configured to
monitor address and databus. Comparators can also be configured to mask out individual data bus bits
during a compare and to use R/W and word/byte access qualification in the comparison. When a match
with a comparator register value occurs the associated control logic can trigger the state sequencer to
another state (see Figure 8-22). Either forced or tagged triggers are possible. Using a forced trigger, the
trigger is generated immediately on a comparator match. Using a tagged trigger, at a comparator match,
the instruction opcode is tagged and only if the instruction reaches the execution stage of the instruction
queue is a trigger generated. In the case of a transition to Final State, bus tracing is triggered and/or a
breakpoint can be generated. Tracing of both CPU12X and/or XGATE bus activity is possible.
Independent of the state sequencer, a breakpoint can be triggered by the external TAGHI / TAGLO signals
or by an XGATE S/W breakpoint request or by writing to the TRIG bit in the DBGC1 control register.
The trace buffer is visible through a 2-byte window in the register address map and can be read out using
standard 16-bit word reads.
8.4.2
Comparator Modes
The S12XDBG contains four comparators, A, B, C, and D. Each comparator can be configured to monitor
CPU12X or XGATE buses. Each comparator compares the selected address bus with the address stored in
DBGXAH, DBGXAM, and DBGXAL. Furthermore, comparators A and C also compare the data buses
to the data stored in DBGXDH, DBGXDL and allow masking of individual data bus bits.
S12X comparator matches are disabled in BDM and during BDM accesses.
The comparator match control logic configures comparators to monitor the buses for an exact address or
an address range. The comparator configuration is controlled by the control register contents and the range
control by the DBGC2 contents.
On a match a trigger can initiate a transition to another state sequencer state (see Section 8.4.3”). The
comparator control register also allows the type of access to be included in the comparison through the use
of the RWE, RW, SZE, and SZ bits. The RWE bit controls whether read or write comparison is enabled
for the associated comparator and the RW bit selects either a read or write access for a valid match.
Similarly the SZE and SZ bits allows the size of access (word or byte) to be considered in the compare.
Only comparators B and D feature SZE and SZ.
The TAG bit in each comparator control register is used to determine the triggering condition. By setting
TAG, the comparator will qualify a match with the output of opcode tracking logic and a trigger occurs
before the tagged instruction executes (tagged-type trigger). Whilst tagging, the RW, RWE, SZE, and SZ
bits are ignored and the comparator register must be loaded with the exact opcode address.
If the TAG bit is clear (forced type trigger) a comparator match is generated when the selected address
appears on the system address bus. If the selected address is an opcode address, the match is generated
MC9S12XE-Family Reference Manual Rev. 1.25
Freescale Semiconductor
327
Chapter 8 S12X Debug (S12XDBGV3) Module
when the opcode is fetched from the memory. This precedes the instruction execution by an indefinite
number of cycles due to instruction pipe lining. For a comparator match of an opcode at an odd address
when TAG = 0, the corresponding even address must be contained in the comparator register. Thus for an
opcode at odd address (n), the comparator register must contain address (n–1).
Once a successful comparator match has occurred, the condition that caused the original match is not
verified again on subsequent matches. Thus if a particular data value is verified at a given address, this
address may not still contain that data value when a subsequent match occurs.
Comparators C and D can also be used to select an address range to trace from. This is determined by the
TRANGE bits in the DBGTCR register. The TRANGE encoding is shown in Table 8-12. If the TRANGE
bits select a range definition using comparator D, then comparator D is configured for trace range
definition and cannot be used for address bus comparisons. Similarly if the TRANGE bits select a range
definition using comparator C, then comparator C is configured for trace range definition and cannot be
used for address bus comparisons.
Match[0, 1, 2, 3] map directly to Comparators[A, B, C, D] respectively, except in range modes (see
Section 8.3.2.4). Comparator priority rules are described in the trigger priority section (Section 8.4.3.6).
8.4.2.1
Exact Address Comparator Match (Comparators A and C)
With range comparisons disabled, the match condition is an exact equivalence of address/data bus with the
value stored in the comparator address/data registers. Further qualification of the type of access (R/W,
word/byte) is possible.
Comparators A and C do not feature SZE or SZ control bits, thus the access size is not compared. Table 840 lists access considerations without data bus compare. Table 8-39 lists access considerations with data
bus comparison. To compare byte accesses DBGxDH must be loaded with the data byte, the low byte must
be masked out using the DBGxDLM mask register. On word accesses the data byte of the lower address
is mapped to DBGxDH.

Code may contain various access forms of the same address, i.e. a word access of ADDR[n] or byte access
of ADDR[n+1] both access n+1. At a word access of ADDR[n], address ADDR[n+1] does not appear on
the address bus and so cannot cause a comparator match if the comparator contains ADDR[n]. Thus it is
not possible to monitor all data accesses of ADDR[n+1] with one comparator.
To detect an access of ADDR[n+1] through a word access of ADDR[n] the comparator can be configured
to ADDR[n], DBGxDL is loaded with the data pattern and DBGxDHM is cleared so only the data[n+1] is
compared on accesses of ADDR[n].

Freescale Semiconductor
Chapter 8 S12X Debug (S12XDBGV3) Module
NOTE
Using this configuration, a byte access of ADDR[n] can cause a comparator match if the databus low byte
by chance contains the same value as ADDR[n+1] because the databus comparator does not feature access
size comparison and uses the mask as a “don’t care” function. Thus masked bits do not prevent a match.
Comparators A and C feature an NDB control bit to determine if a match occurs when the data bus differs
to comparator register contents or when the data bus is equivalent to the comparator register contents.
8.4.2.2
Exact Address Comparator Match (Comparators B and D)
Comparators B and D feature SZ and SZE control bits. If SZE is clear, then the comparator address match
qualification functions the same as for comparators A and C.
If the SZE bit is set the access size (word or byte) is compared with the SZ bit value such that only the
specified type of access causes a match. Thus if configured for a byte access of a particular address, a word
access covering the same address does not lead to match.

8.4.2.3
Data Bus Comparison NDB Dependency
Comparators A and C each feature an NDB control bit, which allows data bus comparators to be configured
to either trigger on equivalence or trigger on difference. This allows monitoring of a difference in the
contents of an address location from an expected value.
When matching on an equivalence (NDB=0), each individual data bus bit position can be masked out by
clearing the corresponding mask bit (DBGxDHM/DBGxDLM), so that it is ignored in the comparison. A
match occurs when all data bus bits with corresponding mask bits set are equivalent. If all mask register
bits are clear, then a match is based on the address bus only, the data bus is ignored.
When matching on a difference, mask bits can be cleared to ignore bit positions. A match occurs when any
data bus bit with corresponding mask bit set is different. Clearing all mask bits, causes all bits to be ignored
and prevents a match because no difference can be detected. In this case address bus equivalence does not
cause a match.

Range Comparisons
When using the AB comparator pair for a range comparison, the data bus can also be used for qualification
by using the comparator A data and data mask registers. Furthermore the DBGACTL RW and RWE bits
can be used to qualify the range comparison on either a read or a write access. The corresponding
DBGBCTL bits are ignored. Similarly when using the CD comparator pair for a range comparison, the
data bus can also be used for qualification by using the comparator C data and data mask registers.
Furthermore the DBGCCTL RW and RWE bits can be used to qualify the range comparison on either a
read or a write access if tagging is not selected. The corresponding DBGDCTL bits are ignored. The SZE
and SZ control bits are ignored in range mode. The comparator A and C TAG bits are used to tag range
comparisons for the AB and CD ranges respectively. The comparator B and D TAG bits are ignored in
range modes. In order for a range comparison using comparators A and B, both COMPEA and COMPEB
must be set; to disable range comparisons both must be cleared. Similarly for a range CD comparison, both
COMPEC and COMPED must be set. If a range mode is selected SRCA and SRCC select the source
(S12X or XGATE), SRCB and SRCD are ignored. The comparator A and C BRK bits are used for the AB
and CD ranges respectively, the comparator B and D BRK bits are ignored in range mode. When
configured for range comparisons and tagging, the ranges are accurate only to word boundaries.
8.4.2.4.1
Inside Range (CompAC_Addr ≤ address ≤ CompBD_Addr)
In the Inside Range comparator mode, either comparator pair A and B or comparator pair C and D can be
configured for range comparisons by the control register (DBGC2). The match condition requires that a
valid match for both comparators happens on the same bus cycle. A match condition on only one
comparator is not valid. An aligned word access which straddles the range boundary will cause a trigger
only if the aligned address is inside the range.
8.4.2.4.2
Outside Range (address < CompAC_Addr or address > CompBD_Addr)
In the Outside Range comparator mode, either comparator pair A and B or comparator pair C and D can
be configured for range comparisons. A single match condition on either of the comparators is recognized
as valid. An aligned word access which straddles the range boundary will cause a trigger only if the aligned
address is outside the range.
Outside range mode in combination with tagged triggers can be used to detect if the opcode fetches are
from an unexpected range. In forced trigger modes the outside range trigger would typically be activated
at any interrupt vector fetch or register access. This can be avoided by setting the upper or lower range limit
to $7FFFFF or $000000 respectively. Interrupt vector fetches do not cause taghits

Chapter 8 S12X Debug (S12XDBGV3) Module
When comparing the XGATE address bus in outside range mode, the initial vector fetch as determined by
the vector contained in the XGATE XGVBR register should be taken into consideration. The XGVBR
register and hence vector address can be modified.
8.4.3
Trigger Modes
Trigger modes are used as qualifiers for a state sequencer change of state. The control logic determines the
trigger mode and provides a trigger to the state sequencer. The individual trigger modes are described in
the following sections.
8.4.3.1
Forced Trigger On Comparator Match
If a forced trigger comparator match occurs, the trigger immediately initiates a transition to the next state
sequencer state whereby the corresponding flags in DBGSR are set. The state control register for the
current state determines the next state for each trigger. Forced triggers are generated as soon as the
matching address appears on the address bus, which in the case of opcode fetches occurs several cycles
before the opcode execution. For this reason a forced trigger at an opcode address precedes a tagged trigger
at the same address by several cycles.
8.4.3.2
Trigger On Comparator Related Taghit
If a CPU12X or XGATE taghit occurs, a transition to another state sequencer state is initiated and the
corresponding DBGSR flags are set. For a comparator related taghit to occur, the S12XDBG must first
generate tags based on comparator matches. When the tagged instruction reaches the execution stage of
the instruction queue a taghit is generated by the CPU12X/XGATE. The state control register for the
current state determines the next state for each trigger.
8.4.3.3
External Tagging Trigger
The TAGLO and TAGHI pins (mapped to device pins) can be used to tag an instruction. This function can
be used as another breakpoint source. When the tagged opcode reaches the execution stage of the
instruction queue a transition to the disarmed state0 occurs, ending the debug session and generating a
breakpoint, if breakpoints are enabled. External tagging is only possible in device emulation modes.
8.4.3.4
Trigger On XGATE S/W Breakpoint Request
The XGATE S/W breakpoint request issues a forced breakpoint request to the CPU12X immediately and
triggers the state sequencer into the disarmed state. Active tracing sessions are terminated immediately,
thus if tracing has not yet begun, no trace information is stored. XGATE generated breakpoints are
independent of the DBGBRK bits. The XGSBPE bit in DBGC1 determines if the XGATE S/W breakpoint
function is enabled. The BDM bit in DBGC1 determines if the XGATE requested breakpoint causes the
system to enter BDM Mode or initiate a software interrupt (SWI).
8.4.3.5
TRIG Immediate Trigger
Independent of comparator matches or external tag signals it is possible to initiate a tracing session and/or
breakpoint by writing the TRIG bit in DBGC1 to a logic “1”. If configured for begin or mid aligned tracing,
MC9S12XE-Family Reference Manual Rev. 1.25
Freescale Semiconductor
331
Chapter 8 S12X Debug (S12XDBGV3) Module
this triggers the state sequencer into the Final State, if configured for end alignment, setting the TRIG bit
disarms the module, ending the session. If breakpoints are enabled, a forced breakpoint request is issued
immediately (end alignment) or when tracing has completed (begin or mid alignment).
8.4.3.6
Trigger Priorities
In case of simultaneous triggers, the priority is resolved according to Table 8-42. The lower priority trigger
is suppressed. It is thus possible to miss a lower priority trigger if it occurs simultaneously with a trigger
of a higher priority. The trigger priorities described in Table 8-42 dictate that in the case of simultaneous
matches, the match on the lower channel number (0,1,2,3) has priority. The SC[3:0] encoding ensures that
a match leading to final state has priority over all other matches in each state sequencer state. When
configured for range modes a simultaneous match of comparators A and C generates an active match0
whilst match2 is suppressed.
If a write access to DBGC1 with the ARM bit position set occurs simultaneously to a hardware disarm
from an internal trigger event, then the ARM bit is cleared due to the hardware disarm.

The state sequencer allows a defined sequence of events to provide a trigger point for tracing of data in the
trace buffer. Once the S12XDBG module has been armed by setting the ARM bit in the DBGC1 register,
MC9S12XE-Family Reference Manual Rev. 1.25
332
Freescale Semiconductor
Chapter 8 S12X Debug (S12XDBGV3) Module
then state1 of the state sequencer is entered. Further transitions between the states are then controlled by
the state control registers and depend upon a selected trigger mode condition being met. From Final State
the only permitted transition is back to the disarmed state0. Transition between any of the states 1 to 3 is
not restricted. Each transition updates the SSF[2:0] flags in DBGSR accordingly to indicate the current
state.
Alternatively by setting the TRIG bit in DBGSC1, the state machine can be triggered to state0 or Final
State depending on tracing alignment.
A tag hit through TAGHI/TAGLO brings the state sequencer immediately into state0, causes a breakpoint,
if breakpoints are enabled, and ends tracing immediately independent of the trigger alignment bits
TALIGN[1:0].
Independent of the state sequencer, each comparator channel can be individually configured to generate an
immediate breakpoint when a match occurs through the use of the BRK bits in the DBGxCTL registers.
Thus it is possible to generate an immediate breakpoint on selected channels, whilst a state sequencer
transition can be initiated by a match on other channels. If a debug session is ended by a trigger on a
channel with BRK = 1, the state sequencer transitions through Final State for a clock cycle to state0. This
is independent of tracing and breakpoint activity, thus with tracing and breakpoints disabled, the state
sequencer enters state0 and the debug module is disarmed.
An XGATE S/W breakpoint request, if enabled causes a transition to the State0 and generates a breakpoint
request to the CPU12X immediately
8.4.4.1
Final State
On entering Final State a trigger may be issued to the trace buffer according to the trace position control
as defined by the TALIGN field (see Section 8.3.2.3). If TSOURCE in the trace control register DBGTCR
are cleared then the trace buffer is disabled and the transition to Final State can only generate a breakpoint
request. In this case or upon completion of a tracing session when tracing is enabled, the ARM bit in the
DBGC1 register is cleared, returning the module to the disarmed state0. If tracing is enabled, a breakpoint
request can occur at the end of the tracing session. If neither tracing nor breakpoints are enabled then when
the final state is reached it returns automatically to state0 and the debug module is disarmed.
8.4.5
Trace Buffer Operation
The trace buffer is a 64 lines deep by 64-bits wide RAM array. The S12XDBG module stores trace
information in the RAM array in a circular buffer format. The RAM array can be accessed through a
register window (DBGTBH:DBGTBL) using 16-bit wide word accesses. After each complete 64-bit trace
buffer line is read, an internal pointer into the RAM is incremented so that the next read will receive fresh
information. Data is stored in the format shown in Table 8-43. After each store the counter register bits
DBGCNT[6:0] are incremented. Tracing of CPU12X activity is disabled when the BDM is active but
tracing of XGATE activity is still possible. Reading the trace buffer whilst the DBG is armed returns
invalid data and the trace buffer pointer is not incremented.

Chapter 8 S12X Debug (S12XDBGV3) Module
8.4.5.1
Trace Trigger Alignment
Using the TALIGN bits (see Section 8.3.2.3) it is possible to align the trigger with the end, the middle, or
the beginning of a tracing session.
If End or Mid tracing is selected, tracing begins when the ARM bit in DBGC1 is set and State1 is entered.
The transition to Final State if End is selected signals the end of the tracing session. The transition to Final
State if Mid is selected signals that another 32 lines will be traced before ending the tracing session.
Tracing with Begin-Trigger starts at the opcode of the trigger.
8.4.5.1.1
Storing with Begin-Trigger
Storing with Begin-Trigger, data is not stored in the Trace Buffer until the Final State is entered. Once the
trigger condition is met the S12XDBG module will remain armed until 64 lines are stored in the Trace
Buffer. If the trigger is at the address of the change-of-flow instruction the change of flow associated with
the trigger will be stored in the Trace Buffer. Using Begin-trigger together with tagging, if the tagged
instruction is about to be executed then the trace is started. Upon completion of the tracing session the
breakpoint is generated, thus the breakpoint does not occur at the tagged instruction boundary.
8.4.5.1.2
Storing with Mid-Trigger
Storing with Mid-Trigger, data is stored in the Trace Buffer as soon as the S12XDBG module is armed.
When the trigger condition is met, another 32 lines will be traced before ending the tracing session,
irrespective of the number of lines stored before the trigger occurred, then the S12XDBG module is
disarmed and no more data is stored. Using Mid-trigger with tagging, if the tagged instruction is about to
be executed then the trace is continued for another 32 lines. Upon tracing completion the breakpoint is
generated, thus the breakpoint does not occur at the tagged instruction boundary.
8.4.5.1.3
Storing with End-Trigger
Storing with End-Trigger, data is stored in the Trace Buffer until the Final State is entered, at which point
the S12XDBG module will become disarmed and no more data will be stored. If the trigger is at the
address of a change of flow instruction the trigger event will not be stored in the Trace Buffer.
8.4.5.2
Trace Modes
The S12XDBG module can operate in four trace modes. The mode is selected using the TRCMOD bits in
the DBGTCR register. In each mode tracing of XGATE or CPU12X information is possible. The source
for the trace is selected using the TSOURCE bits in the DBGTCR register. The modes are described in the
following subsections. The trace buffer organization is shown in Table 8-43.
8.4.5.2.1
Normal Mode
In Normal Mode, change of flow (COF) program counter (PC) addresses will be stored.
COF addresses are defined as follows for the CPU12X:
• Source address of taken conditional branches (long, short, bit-conditional, and loop primitives)
• Destination address of indexed JMP, JSR, and CALL instruction
MC9S12XE-Family Reference Manual Rev. 1.25
334
Freescale Semiconductor
Chapter 8 S12X Debug (S12XDBGV3) Module
•
•
Destination address of RTI, RTS, and RTC instructions.
Vector address of interrupts, except for SWI and BDM vectors
LBRA, BRA, BSR, BGND as well as non-indexed JMP, JSR, and CALL instructions are not classified as
change of flow and are not stored in the trace buffer.
COF addresses are defined as follows for the XGATE:
• Source address of taken conditional branches
• Destination address of indexed JAL instructions.
• First XGATE code address in a thread
Change-of-flow addresses stored include the full 23-bit address bus of CPU12X, the 16-bit address bus for
the XGATE module and an information byte, which contains a source/destination bit to indicate whether
the stored address was a source address or destination address.
NOTE
When an CPU12X COF instruction with destination address is executed, the
destination address is stored to the trace buffer on instruction completion,
indicating the COF has taken place. If an interrupt occurs simultaneously
then the next instruction carried out is actually from the interrupt service
routine. The instruction at the destination address of the original program
flow gets exectuted after the interrupt service routine.
In the following example an IRQ interrupt occurs during execution of the
indexed JMP at address MARK1. The BRN at the destination (SUB_1) is
not executed until after the IRQ service routine but the destination address
is entered into the trace buffer to indicate that the indexed JMP COF has
taken place.

Chapter 8 S12X Debug (S12XDBGV3) Module
8.4.5.2.2
Loop1 Mode
Loop1 Mode, similarly to Normal Mode also stores only COF address information to the trace buffer, it
however allows the filtering out of redundant information.
The intent of Loop1 Mode is to prevent the Trace Buffer from being filled entirely with duplicate
information from a looping construct such as delays using the DBNE instruction or polling loops using
BRSET/BRCLR instructions. Immediately after address information is placed in the Trace Buffer, the
S12XDBG module writes this value into a background register. This prevents consecutive duplicate
address entries in the Trace Buffer resulting from repeated branches.
Loop1 Mode only inhibits consecutive duplicate source address entries that would typically be stored in
most tight looping constructs. It does not inhibit repeated entries of destination addresses or vector
addresses, since repeated entries of these would most likely indicate a bug in the user’s code that the
S12XDBG module is designed to help find.
8.4.5.2.3
Detail Mode
In Detail Mode, address and data for all memory and register accesses is stored in the trace buffer. In the
case of XGATE tracing this means that initialization of the R1 register during a vector fetch is not traced.
This mode also features information byte entries to the trace buffer, for each address byte entry. The
information byte indicates the size of access (word or byte) and the type of access (read or write).
When tracing CPU12X activity in Detail Mode, all cycles are traced except those when the CPU12X is
either in a free or opcode fetch cycle. In this mode the XGATE program counter is also traced to provide
a snapshot of the XGATE activity. CXINF information byte bits indicate the type of XGATE activity
occurring at the time of the trace buffer entry. When tracing CPU12X activity alone in Detail Mode, the
address range can be limited to a range specified by the TRANGE bits in DBGTCR. This function uses
comparators C and D to define an address range inside which CPU12X activity should be traced (see
Table 8-43). Thus the traced CPU12X activity can be restricted to particular register range accesses.
When tracing XGATE activity in Detail Mode, all load and store cycles are traced. Additionally the
CPU12X program counter is stored at the time of the XGATE trace buffer entry to provide a snapshot of
CPU12X activity.
8.4.5.2.4
Pure PC Mode
In Pure PC Mode, tracing from the CPU the PC addresses of all executed opcodes, including illegal
opcodes, are stored. In Pure PC Mode, tracing from the XGATE the PC addresses of all executed opcodes
are stored.
8.4.5.3
Trace Buffer Organization
Referring to Table 8-43. An X prefix denotes information from the XGATE module, a C prefix denotes
information from the CPU12X. ADRH, ADRM, ADRL denote address high, middle and low byte
respectively. INF bytes contain control information (R/W, S/D etc.). The numerical suffix indicates which
tracing step. The information format for Loop1 Mode and PurePC Mode is the same as that of Normal
Mode. Whilst tracing from XGATE or CPU12X only, in Normal or Loop1 modes each array line contains
MC9S12XE-Family Reference Manual Rev. 1.25
336
Freescale Semiconductor
Chapter 8 S12X Debug (S12XDBGV3) Module
2 data entries, thus in this case the DBGCNT[0] is incremented after each separate entry. In Detail mode
DBGCNT[0] remains cleared whilst the other DBGCNT bits are incremented on each trace buffer entry.
XGATE and CPU12X COFs occur independently of each other and the profile of COFs for the two sources
is totally different. When both sources are being traced in Normal or Loop1 mode, for each COF from one
source, there may be many COFs from the other source, depending on user code. COF events could occur
far from each other in the time domain, on consecutive cycles or simultaneously. When a COF occurs in
either source (S12X or XGATE) a trace buffer entry is made and the corresponding CDV or XDV bit is
set. The current PC of the other source is simultaneously stored to the trace buffer even if no COF has
occurred, in which case CDV/XDV remains cleared indicating the address is not associated with a COF,
but is simply a snapshot of the PC contents at the time of the COF from the other source.
Single byte data accesses in Detail Mode are always stored to the low byte of the trace buffer (CDATAL
or XDATAL) and the high byte is cleared. When tracing word accesses, the byte at the lower address is
always stored to trace buffer byte3 and the byte at the higher address is stored to byte2.

This describes the format of the information byte used only when tracing in Detail Mode. When tracing
from the CPU12X in Detail Mode, information is stored to the trace buffer on all cycles except opcode

8.4.5.4
Reading Data from Trace Buffer
The data stored in the Trace Buffer can be read using either the background debug module (BDM) module,
the XGATE or the CPU12X provided the S12XDBG module is not armed, is configured for tracing and
the system not secured. When the ARM bit is written to 1 the trace buffer is locked to prevent reading. The
trace buffer can only be unlocked for reading by an aligned word write to DBGTB when the module is
disarmed.
The Trace Buffer can only be read through the DBGTB register using aligned word reads, any byte or
misaligned reads return 0 and do not cause the trace buffer pointer to increment to the next trace buffer
address. The Trace Buffer data is read out first-in first-out. By reading CNT in DBGCNT the number of
valid 64-bit lines can be determined. DBGCNT will not decrement as data is read.
Whilst reading an internal pointer is used to determine the next line to be read. After a tracing session, the
pointer points to the oldest data entry, thus if no overflow has occurred, the pointer points to line0,
otherwise it points to the line with the oldest entry. The pointer is initialized by each aligned write to
DBGTBH to point to the oldest data again. This enables an interrupted trace buffer read sequence to be
easily restarted from the oldest data entry.

and 0 of Table 8-43. The bytes containing invalid information (shaded in Table 8-43) are also read out.
Reading the Trace Buffer while the S12XDBG module is armed will return invalid data and no shifting of
the RAM pointer will occur.
8.4.5.5
Trace Buffer Reset State
The Trace Buffer contents are not initialized by a system reset. Thus should a system reset occur, the trace
session information from immediately before the reset occurred can be read out. The DBGCNT bits are
not cleared by a system reset. Thus should a reset occur, the number of valid lines in the trace buffer is
indicated by DBGCNT. The internal pointer to the current trace buffer address is initialized by unlocking
the trace buffer thus points to the oldest valid data even if a reset occurred during the tracing session.
Generally debugging occurrences of system resets is best handled using mid or end trigger alignment since
the reset may occur before the trace trigger, which in the begin trigger alignment case means no
information would be stored in the trace buffer.
NOTE
An external pin RESET that occurs simultaneous to a trace buffer entry can,
in very seldom cases, lead to either that entry being corrupted or the first
entry of the session being corrupted. In such cases the other contents of the
trace buffer still contain valid tracing information. The case occurs when the
reset assertion coincides with the trace buffer entry clock edge.
8.4.6
Tagging
A tag follows program information as it advances through the instruction queue. When a tagged instruction
reaches the head of the queue a tag hit occurs and triggers the state sequencer.
Each comparator control register features a TAG bit, which controls whether the comparator match will
cause a trigger immediately or tag the opcode at the matched address. If a comparator is enabled for tagged
comparisons, the address stored in the comparator match address registers must be an opcode address for
the trigger to occur.
Both CPU12X and XGATE opcodes can be tagged with the comparator register TAG bits.
Using Begin trigger together with tagging, if the tagged instruction is about to be executed then the
transition to the next state sequencer state occurs. If the transition is to the Final State, tracing is started.
Only upon completion of the tracing session can a breakpoint be generated. Similarly using Mid trigger
with tagging, if the tagged instruction is about to be executed then the trace is continued for another 32
lines. Upon tracing completion the breakpoint is generated. Using End trigger, when the tagged instruction
is about to be executed and the next transition is to Final State then a breakpoint is generated immediately,
before the tagged instruction is carried out.
Read/Write (R/W), access size (SZ) monitoring and data bus monitoring is not useful if tagged triggering
is selected, since the tag is attached to the opcode at the matched address and is not dependent on the data
bus nor on the type of access. Thus these bits are ignored if tagged triggering is selected.
When configured for range comparisons and tagging, the ranges are accurate only to word boundaries.

Chapter 8 S12X Debug (S12XDBGV3) Module
S12X tagging is disabled when the BDM becomes active. XGATE tagging is possible when the BDM is
active.
8.4.6.1
External Tagging using TAGHI and TAGLO
External tagging using the external TAGHI and TAGLO pins can only be used to tag CPU12X opcodes;
tagging of XGATE code using these pins is not possible. An external tag triggers the state sequencer into
state0 when the tagged opcode reaches the execution stage of the instruction queue.
The pins operate independently, thus the state of one pin does not affect the function of the other. External
tagging is possible in emulation modes only. The presence of logic level 0 on either pin at the rising edge
of the external clock (ECLK) performs the function indicated in the Table 8-47. It is possible to tag both
bytes of an instruction word. If a taghit occurs, a breakpoint can be generated as defined by the DBGBRK
and BDM bits in DBGC1. Each time TAGHI or TAGLO are low on the rising edge of ECLK, the old tag
is replaced by a new one.

Unconditional Tagging Function
In emulation modes a low assertion of PE5/TAGLO/MODA in the 7th or 8th bus cycle after reset enables
the unconditional tagging function, allowing immediate tagging via TAGHI/TAGLO with breakpoint to
BDM independent of the ARM, BDM and DBGBRK bits. Conversely these bits are not affected by
unconditional tagging. The unconditional tagging function remains enabled until the next reset. This
function allows an immediate entry to BDM in emulation modes before user code execution. The TAGLO
assertion must be in the 7th or 8th bus cycle following the end of reset, whereby the prior RESET pin
assertion lasts the full 192 bus cycles.
8.4.7
Breakpoints
Breakpoints can be generated as follows.
• Through XGATE software breakpoint requests.
• From comparator channel triggers to final state.
• Using software to write to the TRIG bit in the DBGC1 register.
• From taghits generated using the external TAGHI and TAGLO pins.
Breakpoints generated by the XGATE module or via the BDM BACKGROUND command have no affect
on the CPU12X in STOP or WAIT mode.

Chapter 8 S12X Debug (S12XDBGV3) Module
8.4.7.1
XGATE Software Breakpoints
The XGATE software breakpoint instruction BRK can request a CPU12X breakpoint, via the S12XDBG
module. In this case, if the XGSBPE bit is set, the S12XDBG module immediately generates a forced
breakpoint request to the CPU12X, the state sequencer is returned to state0 and tracing, if active, is
terminated. If configured for BEGIN trigger and tracing has not yet been triggered from another source,
the trace buffer contains no information. Breakpoint requests from the XGATE module do not depend
upon the state of the DBGBRK or ARM bits in DBGC1. They depend solely on the state of the XGSBPE
and BDM bits. Thus it is not necessary to ARM the DBG module to use XGATE software breakpoints to
generate breakpoints in the CPU12X program flow, but it is necessary to set XGSBPE. Furthermore, if a
breakpoint to BDM is required, the BDM bit must also be set. When the XGATE requests an CPU12X
breakpoint, the XGATE program flow stops by default, independent of the S12XDBG module.
8.4.7.2
Breakpoints From Internal Comparator Channel Final State Triggers
Breakpoints can be generated when internal comparator channels trigger the state sequencer to the Final
State. If configured for tagging, then the breakpoint is generated when the tagged opcode reaches the
execution stage of the instruction queue.
If a tracing session is selected by TSOURCE, breakpoints are requested when the tracing session has
completed, thus if Begin or Mid aligned triggering is selected, the breakpoint is requested only on
completion of the subsequent trace (see Table 8-48). If no tracing session is selected, breakpoints are
requested immediately.
If the BRK bit is set on the triggering channel, then the breakpoint is generated immediately independent
of tracing trigger alignment.

8.4.7.3
Breakpoints Generated Via The TRIG Bit
If a TRIG triggers occur, the Final State is entered. If a tracing session is selected by TSOURCE,
breakpoints are requested when the tracing session has completed, thus if Begin or Mid aligned triggering
is selected, the breakpoint is requested only on completion of the subsequent trace (see Table 8-48). If no
tracing session is selected, breakpoints are requested immediately. TRIG breakpoints are possible even if
the S12XDBG module is disarmed.
8.4.7.4
Breakpoints Via TAGHI Or TAGLO Pin Taghits
Tagging using the external TAGHI/TAGLO pins always ends the session immediately at the tag hit. It is
always end aligned, independent of internal channel trigger alignment configuration.
8.4.7.5
S12XDBG Breakpoint Priorities
XGATE software breakpoints have the highest priority. Active tracing sessions are terminated
immediately.
If a TRIG trigger occurs after Begin or Mid aligned tracing has already been triggered by a comparator
instigated transition to Final State, then TRIG no longer has an effect. When the associated tracing session
is complete, the breakpoint occurs. Similarly if a TRIG is followed by a subsequent trigger from a
comparator channel, it has no effect, since tracing has already started.
If a comparator tag hit occurs simultaneously with an external TAGHI/TAGLO hit, the state sequencer
enters state0. TAGHI/TAGLO triggers are always end aligned, to end tracing immediately, independent of
the tracing trigger alignment bits TALIGN[1:0].
8.4.7.5.1
S12XDBG Breakpoint Priorities And BDM Interfacing
Breakpoint operation is dependent on the state of the S12XBDM module. If the S12XBDM module is
active, the CPU12X is executing out of BDM firmware and S12X breakpoints are disabled. In addition,
while executing a BDM TRACE command, tagging into BDM is disabled. If BDM is not active, the
breakpoint will give priority to BDM requests over SWI requests if the breakpoint coincides with a SWI
instruction in the user’s code. On returning from BDM, the SWI from user code gets executed.

executes the BDM firmware code. It checks the ENABLE and returns if ENABLE is not set. If not serviced
by the monitor then the breakpoint is re-asserted when the BDM returns to normal CPU12X flow.
If the comparator register contents coincide with the SWI/BDM vector address then an SWI in user code
and DBG breakpoint could occur simultaneously. The CPU12X ensures that BDM requests have a higher
priority than SWI requests. Returning from the BDM/SWI service routine care must be taken to avoid re
triggering a breakpoint.
NOTE
When program control returns from a tagged breakpoint using an RTI or
BDM GO command without program counter modification it will return to
the instruction whose tag generated the breakpoint. To avoid re triggering a
breakpoint at the same location reconfigure the S12XDBG module in the
SWI routine, if configured for an SWI breakpoint, or over the BDM
interface by executing a TRACE command before the GO to increment the
program flow past the tagged instruction.
An XGATE software breakpoint is forced immediately, the tracing session
terminated and the XGATE module execution stops. The user can thus
determine if an XGATE breakpoint has occurred by reading out the XGATE
program counter over the BDM interface.

Description of Changes
Introduction
This specification describes the function of the security mechanism in the S12XE chip family (9SEC).
NOTE
No security feature is absolutely secure. However, Freescale’s strategy is to
make reading or copying the FLASH and/or EEPROM difficult for
unauthorized users.
9.1.1
Features
The user must be reminded that part of the security must lie with the application code. An extreme example
would be application code that dumps the contents of the internal memory. This would defeat the purpose
of security. At the same time, the user may also wish to put a backdoor in the application program. An
example of this is the user downloads a security key through the SCI, which allows access to a
programming routine that updates parameters stored in another section of the Flash memory.
The security features of the S12XE chip family (in secure mode) are:
• Protect the content of non-volatile memories (Flash, EEPROM)
• Execution of NVM commands is restricted
• Disable access to internal memory via background debug module (BDM)
• Disable access to internal Flash/EEPROM in expanded modes
• Disable debugging features for the CPU and XGATE

1. Availability of Flash arrays in the memory map depends on ROMCTL/EROMCTL pins and/or the state of the
ROMON/EROMON bits in the MMCCTL1 register. Please refer to the S12X_MMC block guide for detailed
information.
2. Restricted NVM command set only. Please refer to the NVM wrapper block guides for detailed information.
3. BDM hardware commands restricted to peripheral registers only.
9.1.3
Securing the Microcontroller
Once the user has programmed the Flash and EEPROM, the chip can be secured by programming the
security bits located in the options/security byte in the Flash memory array. These non-volatile bits will
keep the device secured through reset and power-down.
The options/security byte is located at address 0xFF0F (= global address 0x7F_FF0F) in the Flash memory
array. This byte can be erased and programmed like any other Flash location. Two bits of this byte are used
for security (SEC[1:0]). On devices which have a memory page window, the Flash options/security byte
is also available at address 0xBF0F by selecting page 0x3F with the PPAGE register. The contents of this
byte are copied into the Flash security register (FSEC) during a reset sequence.

The meaning of the security bits SEC[1:0] is shown in Table 9-4. For security reasons, the state of device
security is controlled by two bits. To put the device in unsecured mode, these bits must be programmed to
SEC[1:0] = ‘10’. All other combinations put the device in a secured mode. The recommended value to put
the device in secured state is the inverse of the unsecured state, i.e. SEC[1:0] = ‘01’.

NOTE
Please refer to the Flash block guide for actual security configuration (in
section “Flash Module Security”).
9.1.4
Operation of the Secured Microcontroller
By securing the device, unauthorized access to the EEPROM and Flash memory contents can be prevented.
However, it must be understood that the security of the EEPROM and Flash memory contents also depends
on the design of the application program. For example, if the application has the capability of downloading
code through a serial port and then executing that code (e.g. an application containing bootloader code),
then this capability could potentially be used to read the EEPROM and Flash memory contents even when
the microcontroller is in the secure state. In this example, the security of the application could be enhanced
by requiring a challenge/response authentication before any code can be downloaded.
Secured operation has the following effects on the microcontroller:

Special single chip mode means BDM is active after reset. The availability of BDM firmware commands
depends on the security state of the device. The BDM secure firmware first performs a blank check of both
the Flash memory and the EEPROM. If the blank check succeeds, security will be temporarily turned off
and the state of the security bits in the appropriate Flash memory location can be changed If the blank
check fails, security will remain active, only the BDM hardware commands will be enabled, and the
accessible memory space is restricted to the peripheral register area. This will allow the BDM to be used
to erase the EEPROM and Flash memory without giving access to their contents. After erasing both Flash
memory and EEPROM, another reset into special single chip mode will cause the blank check to succeed
and the options/security byte can be programmed to “unsecured” state via BDM.
While the BDM is executing the blank check, the BDM interface is completely blocked, which means that
all BDM commands are temporarily blocked.

9.1.5
Unsecuring the Microcontroller
Unsecuring the microcontroller can be done by three different methods:
1. Backdoor key access
2. Reprogramming the security bits
3. Complete memory erase (special modes)
9.1.5.1
Unsecuring the MCU Using the Backdoor Key Access
In normal modes (single chip and expanded), security can be temporarily disabled using the backdoor key
access method. This method requires that:
• The backdoor key at 0xFF00–0xFF07 (= global addresses 0x7F_FF00–0x7F_FF07) has been
programmed to a valid value.
MC9S12XE-Family Reference Manual Rev. 1.25
350
Freescale Semiconductor
Chapter 9 Security (S12XE9SECV2)
•
•
The KEYEN[1:0] bits within the Flash options/security byte select ‘enabled’.
In single chip mode, the application program programmed into the microcontroller must be
designed to have the capability to write to the backdoor key locations.
The backdoor key values themselves would not normally be stored within the application data, which
means the application program would have to be designed to receive the backdoor key values from an
external source (e.g. through a serial port).
The backdoor key access method allows debugging of a secured microcontroller without having to erase
the Flash. This is particularly useful for failure analysis.
NOTE
No word of the backdoor key is allowed to have the value 0x0000 or
0xFFFF.
9.1.6
Reprogramming the Security Bits
In normal single chip mode (NS), security can also be disabled by erasing and reprogramming the security
bits within Flash options/security byte to the unsecured value. Because the erase operation will erase the
entire sector from 0xFE00–0xFFFF (0x7F_FE00–0x7F_FFFF), the backdoor key and the interrupt vectors
will also be erased; this method is not recommended for normal single chip mode. The application
software can only erase and program the Flash options/security byte if the Flash sector containing the Flash
options/security byte is not protected (see Flash protection). Thus Flash protection is a useful means of
preventing this method. The microcontroller will enter the unsecured state after the next reset following
the programming of the security bits to the unsecured value.
This method requires that:
• The application software previously programmed into the microcontroller has been designed to
have the capability to erase and program the Flash options/security byte, or security is first disabled
using the backdoor key method, allowing BDM to be used to issue commands to erase and program
the Flash options/security byte.
• The Flash sector containing the Flash options/security byte is not protected.
9.1.7
Complete Memory Erase (Special Modes)
The microcontroller can be unsecured in special modes by erasing the entire EEPROM and Flash memory
contents.
When a secure microcontroller is reset into special single chip mode (SS), the BDM firmware verifies
whether the EEPROM and Flash memory are erased. If any EEPROM or Flash memory address is not
erased, only BDM hardware commands are enabled. BDM hardware commands can then be used to write
to the EEPROM and Flash registers to mass erase the EEPROM and all Flash memory blocks.
When next reset into special single chip mode, the BDM firmware will again verify whether all EEPROM
and Flash memory are erased, and this being the case, will enable all BDM commands, allowing the Flash
options/security byte to be programmed to the unsecured value. The security bits SEC[1:0] in the Flash
security register will indicate the unsecure state following the next reset.

Introduction
The XGATE module is a peripheral co-processor that allows autonomous data transfers between the
MCU’s peripherals and the internal memories. It has a built in RISC core that is able to pre-process the
transferred data and perform complex communication protocols.
The XGATE module is intended to increase the MCU’s data throughput by lowering the S12X_CPU’s
interrupt load.
Figure 10-1 gives an overview on the XGATE architecture.
This document describes the functionality of the XGATE module, including:
• XGATE registers (Section 10.3, “Memory Map and Register Definition”)
• XGATE RISC core (Section 10.4.1, “XGATE RISC Core”)
• Hardware semaphores (Section 10.4.4, “Semaphores”)
• Interrupt handling (Section 10.5, “Interrupts”)
• Debug features (Section 10.6, “Debug Mode”)
• Security (Section 10.7, “Security”)
• Instruction set (Section 10.8, “Instruction Set”)
10.1.1
Glossary of Terms
XGATE Request
A service request from a peripheral module which is directed to the XGATE by the S12X_INT
module (see Figure 10-1). Each XGATE request attempts to activate a XGATE channel at a certain
priority level.
XGATE Channel
The resources in the XGATE module (i.e. Channel ID number, Priority level, Service Request
Vector, Interrupt Flag) which are associated with a particular XGATE Request.
MC9S12XE-Family Reference Manual Rev. 1.25

353
Chapter 10 XGATE (S12XGATEV3)
XGATE Channel ID
A 7-bit identifier associated with an XGATE channel. In S12XE designs valid Channel IDs range
from $0D to $78.
XGATE Priority Level
A priority ranging from 1 to 7 which is associated with an XGATE channel. The priority level of
an XGATE channel is selected in the S12X_INT module.
XGATE Register Bank
A register bank consists of registers R1-R7, CCR and the PC. Each interrupt level is associated with
one register bank.
XGATE Channel Interrupt
An S12X_CPU interrupt that is triggered by a code sequence running on the XGATE module.
XGATE Software Channel
Special XGATE channel that is not associated with any peripheral service request. A Software
Channel is triggered by its Software Trigger Bit which is implemented in the XGATE module.
XGATE Semaphore
A set of hardware flip-flops that can be exclusively set by either the S12X_CPU or the XGATE.
(see Section 10.4.4, “Semaphores”)
XGATE Thread
A code sequence which is executed by the XGATE’s RISC core after receiving an XGATE request.
XGATE Debug Mode
A special mode in which the XGATE’s RISC core is halted for debug purposes. This mode enables
the XGATE’s debug features (see Section 10.6, “Debug Mode”).
XGATE Software Error
The XGATE is able to detect a number of error conditions caused by erratic software (see
Section 10.4.5, “Software Error Detection”). These error conditions will cause the XGATE to seize
program execution and flag an Interrupt to the S12X_CPU.

•
•
Run mode, wait mode, stop mode
The XGATE is able to operate in all of these three system modes. Clock activity will be
automatically stopped when the XGATE module is idle.
Freeze mode (BDM active)
In freeze mode all clocks of the XGATE module may be stopped, depending on the module
configuration (see Section 10.3.1.1, “XGATE Control Register (XGMCTL)”).

Memory Map and Register Definition
This section provides a detailed description of address space and registers used by the XGATE module.
The memory map for the XGATE module is given below in Figure 10-2.The address listed for each register
is the sum of a base address and an address offset. The base address is defined at the SoC level and the
address offset is defined at the module level. Reserved registers read zero. Write accesses to the reserved
registers have no effect.

The eight software triggers of the XGATE module can be set and cleared through the XGATE Software
Trigger Register (Figure 10-11). The upper byte of this register, the software trigger mask, controls the
write access to the lower byte, the software trigger bits. These bits can be set or cleared if a "1" is written
to the associated mask in the same bus cycle. Refer to Section 10.5.2, “Outgoing Interrupt Requests” for

XGATE software triggers work like any peripheral interrupt. They can be
used as XGATE requests as well as S12X_CPU interrupts. The target of the
software trigger must be selected in the S12X_INT module.
10.3.1.10 XGATE Semaphore Register (XGSEM)
The XGATE provides a set of eight hardware semaphores that can be shared between the S12X_CPU and
the XGATE RISC core. Each semaphore can either be unlocked, locked by the S12X_CPU or locked by
the RISC core. The RISC core is able to lock and unlock a semaphore through its SSEM and CSEM
instructions. The S12X_CPU has access to the semaphores through the XGATE Semaphore Register
(Figure 10-12). Refer to section Section 10.4.4, “Semaphores” for details.

XGATE Register 7 — The RISC core’s register 7
Functional Description
The core of the XGATE module is a RISC processor which is able to access the MCU’s internal memories
and peripherals (see Figure 10-1). The RISC processor always remains in an idle state until it is triggered
by an XGATE request. Then it executes a code sequence (thread) that is associated with the requested
XGATE channel. Each thread can run on a priority level ranging from 1 to 7. Refer to the S12X_INT
MC9S12XE-Family Reference Manual Rev. 1.25
Freescale Semiconductor
373
Chapter 10 XGATE (S12XGATEV3)
Section for information on how to select priority levels for XGATE threads. Low priority threads (interrupt
levels 1 to 3) can be interrupted by high priority threads (interrupt levels 4 to 7). High priority threads are
not interruptible. The register content of an interrupted thread is maintained and restored by the XGATE
hardware.
To signal the completion of a task the XGATE is able to send interrupts to the S12X_CPU. Each XGATE
channel has its own interrupt vector. Refer to the S12X_INT Section for detailed information.
The XGATE module also provides a set of hardware semaphores which are necessary to ensure data
consistency whenever RAM locations or peripherals are shared with the S12X_CPU.
The following sections describe the components of the XGATE module in further detail.
10.4.1
XGATE RISC Core
The RISC core is a 16 bit processor with an instruction set that is well suited for data transfers, bit
manipulations, and simple arithmetic operations (see Section 10.8, “Instruction Set”).
It is able to access the MCU’s internal memories and peripherals without blocking these resources from
the S12X_CPU1. Whenever the S12X_CPU and the RISC core access the same resource, the RISC core
will be stalled until the resource becomes available again.1
The XGATE offers a high access rate to the MCU’s internal RAM. Depending on the bus load, the RISC
core can perform up to two RAM accesses per S12X_CPU bus cycle.
Bus accesses to peripheral registers or flash are slower. A transfer rate of one bus access per S12X_CPU
cycle can not be exceeded.
The XGATE module is intended to execute short interrupt service routines that are triggered by peripheral
modules or by software.

Chapter 10 XGATE (S12XGATEV3)
The programmer’s model of the XGATE RISC core is shown in Figure 10-22. The processor offers a set
of seven general purpose registers (R1 - R7), which serve as accumulators and index registers. An
additional eighth register (R0) is tied to the value “$0000”. Registers R1 and R7 have additional
functionality. R1 is preloaded with the initial data pointer of the channel’s service request vector (see
Figure 10-23). R7 is either preloaded with the content of XGISP74 if the interrupt priority of the current
channel is in the range 7 to 4, or it is with preloaded the content of XGISP31 if the interrupt priority of the
current channel is in the range 3 to 1. The remaining general purpose registers will be reset to an
unspecified value at the beginning of each thread.
The 16 bit program counter allows the addressing of a 64 kbyte address space.
The condition code register contains four bits: the sign bit (S), the zero flag (Z), the overflow flag (V), and
the carry bit (C). The initial content of the condition code register is undefined.
10.4.3
Memory Map
The XGATE’s RISC core is able to access an address space of 64K bytes. The allocation of memory blocks
within this address space is determined on chip level. Refer to the S12X_MMC Section for a detailed
information.
The XGATE vector block assigns a start address and a data pointer to each XGATE channel. Its position
in the XGATE memory map can be adjusted through the XGVBR register (see Section 10.3.1.7, “XGATE
Vector Base Address Register (XGVBR)”). Figure 10-23 shows the layout of the vector block. Each vector
consists of two 16 bit words. The first contains the start address of the service routine. This value will be
loaded into the program counter before a service routine is executed. The second word is a pointer to the
service routine’s data space. This value will be loaded into register R1 before a service routine is executed.

Semaphores
The XGATE module offers a set of eight hardware semaphores. These semaphores provide a mechanism
to protect system resources that are shared between two concurrent threads of program execution; one
thread running on the S12X_CPU and one running on the XGATE RISC core.
Each semaphore can only be in one of the three states: “Unlocked”, “Locked by S12X_CPU”, and “Locked
by XGATE”. The S12X_CPU can check and change a semaphore’s state through the XGATE semaphore
register (XGSEM, see Section 10.3.1.10, “XGATE Semaphore Register (XGSEM)”). The RISC core does
this through its SSEM and CSEM instructions.
IFigure 10-24 illustrates the valid state transitions.

Figure 10-24. Semaphore State Transitions
Figure 10-25 gives an example of the typical usage of the XGATE hardware semaphores.
Two concurrent threads are running on the system. One is running on the S12X_CPU and the other is
running on the RISC core. They both have a critical section of code that accesses the same system resource.
To guarantee that the system resource is only accessed by one thread at a time, the critical code sequence
must be embedded in a semaphore lock/release sequence as shown.

Software Error Detection
Upon detecting an error condition caused by erratic application code, the XGATE module will
immediately terminate program execution and trigger a non-maskable interrupt to the S12X_CPU. There
are three error conditions:
• Execution of an illegal opcode
• Illegal opcode fetches
• Illegal load or store accesses
All opcodes which are not listed in section Section 10.8, “Instruction Set” are illegal opcodes. Illegal
opcode fetches as well as illegal load and store accesses are defined on chip level. Refer to the
S12X_MMC Section for a detailed information.
NOTE
When executing a branch (BCC, BCS,...), a jump (JAL) or an RTS
instruction, the XGATE prefetches and discards the opcode of the following
instruction. The XGATE will perform its software error handling actions
(see above) if this opcode fetch is illegal.

10.5
10.5.1
Interrupts
Incoming Interrupt Requests
XGATE threads are triggered by interrupt requests which are routed to the XGATE module (see
S12X_INT Section). Only a subset of the MCU’s interrupt requests can be routed to the XGATE. Which
specific interrupt requests these are and which channel ID they are assigned to is documented in Section
“Interrupts” of the device overview.
10.5.2
Outgoing Interrupt Requests
There are three types of interrupt requests which can be triggered by the XGATE module:
4. Channel interrupts
For each XGATE channel there is an associated interrupt flag in the XGATE interrupt flag vector
(XGIF, see Section 10.3.1.8, “XGATE Channel Interrupt Flag Vector (XGIF)”). These flags can be
set through the "SIF" instruction by the RISC core. They are typically used to flag an interrupt to
the S12X_CPU when the XGATE has completed one of its task.
5. Software triggers
Software triggers are interrupt flags, which can be set and cleared by software (see
Section 10.3.1.9, “XGATE Software Trigger Register (XGSWT)”). They are typically used to
trigger XGATE tasks by the S12X_CPU software. However these interrupts can also be routed to
the S12X_CPU (see S12X_INT Section) and triggered by the XGATE software.
6. Software error interrupt
The software error interrupt signals to the S12X_CPU the detection of an error condition in the
XGATE application code (see Section 10.4.5, “Software Error Detection”). This is a non-maskable
interrupt. Executing the interrupt service routine will automatically reset the interrupt line.
All outgoing XGATE interrupts, except software error interrupts, can be disabled by the XGIE bit in the
XGATE module control register (XGMCTL, see Section 10.3.1.1, “XGATE Control Register
(XGMCTL)”).
10.6
Debug Mode
The XGATE debug mode is a feature to allow debugging of application code.
10.6.1
Debug Features
In debug mode the RISC core will be halted and the following debug features will be enabled:
• Read and Write accesses to RISC core registers (XGCCR, XGPC, XGR1–XGR7)1
All RISC core registers can be modified. Leaving debug mode will cause the RISC core to continue
program execution with the modified register values.
1. Only possible if MCU is unsecured

•
•
Single Stepping
Writing a "1" to the XGSS bit will call the RISC core to execute a single instruction. All RISC core
registers will be updated accordingly.
Write accesses to the XGCHID register and the XGCHPL register
XGATE threads can be initiated and terminated through a 16 write access to the XGCHID and the
XGCHPL register or through a 8 bit write access to the XGCHID register. Detailed operation is
shown in Table 10-22. Once a thread has been initiated it’s code can be either single stepped or it
can be executed by leaving debug mode.

NOTE
Even though zero is not a valid interrupt priority level of the S12X_INT
module, a thread of priority level 0 can be initiated in debug mode. The
XGATE handles requests of priority level 0 in the same way as it handles
requests of priority levels 1 to 3.
NOTE
All channels 1 to 127 can be initiated by writing to the XGCHID register,
even if they are not assigned to any peripheral module.
NOTE
In Debug Mode the XGATE will ignore all requests from peripheral
modules.
10.6.1.0.1
Entering Debug Mode
Debug mode can be entered in four ways:
1. Setting XGDBG to "1"
MC9S12XE-Family Reference Manual Rev. 1.25
380
Freescale Semiconductor
Chapter 10 XGATE (S12XGATEV3)
Writing a "1" to XGDBG and XGDBGM in the same write access causes the XGATE to enter
debug mode upon completion of the current instruction.
NOTE
After writing to the XGDBG bit the XGATE will not immediately enter
debug mode. Depending on the instruction that is executed at this time there
may be a delay of several clock cycles. The XGDBG will read "0" until
debug mode is entered.
2. Software breakpoints
XGATE programs which are stored in the internal RAM allow the use of software breakpoints. A
software breakpoint is set by replacing an instruction of the program code with the "BRK"
instruction.
As soon as the program execution reaches the "BRK" instruction, the XGATE enters debug mode.
Additionally a software breakpoint request is sent to the S12X_DBG module (see section 4.9 of
the S12X_DBG Section).
Upon entering debug mode, the program counter will point to the "BRK" instruction. The other
RISC core registers will hold the result of the previous instruction.
To resume program execution, the "BRK" instruction must be replaced by the original instruction
before leaving debug mode.
3. Tagged Breakpoints
The S12X_DBG module is able to place tags on fetched opcodes. The XGATE is able to enter
debug mode right before a tagged opcode is executed (see section 4.9 of the S12X_DBG Section).
Upon entering debug mode, the program counter will point to the tagged instruction. The other
RISC core registers will hold the result of the previous instruction.
4. Forced Breakpoints
Forced breakpoints are triggered by the S12X_DBG module (see section 4.9 of the S12X_DBG
Section). When a forced breakpoint occurs, the XGATE will enter debug mode upon completion
of the current instruction.
10.6.2
Leaving Debug Mode
Debug mode can only be left by setting the XGDBG bit to "0". If a thread is active (XGCHID has not been
cleared in debug mode), program execution will resume at the value of XGPC.
10.7
Security
In order to protect XGATE application code on secured S12X devices, a few restrictions in the debug
features have been made. These are:
• Registers XGCCR, XGPC, and XGR1–XGR7 will read zero on a secured device
• Registers XGCCR, XGPC, and XGR1–XGR7 can not be written on a secured device
• Single stepping is not possible on a secured device

Instructions that use this addressing mode either have no operands or all operands are in internal XGATE
registers.

Immediate 3-Bit Wide (IMM3)
Operands for immediate mode instructions are included in the instruction stream and are fetched into the
instruction queue along with the rest of the 16 bit instruction. The ’#’ symbol is used to indicate an
immediate addressing mode operand. This address mode is used for semaphore instructions.
Examples:

Monadic Addressing (MON)
In this addressing mode only one operand is explicitly given. This operand can either be the source (f(RD)),
the target (RD = f()), or both source and target of the operation (RD = f(RD)).
Examples:

10.8.1.8
Dyadic Addressing (DYA)
In this mode the result of an operation between two registers is stored in one of the registers used as
operands.
RD = RD ∗ RS is the general register to register format, with register RD being the first operand and RS
the second. RD and RS can be any of the 8 general purpose registers R0 … R7. If R0 is used as the
destination register, only the condition code flags are updated. This addressing mode is used only for shift
operations with a variable shift value
Examples:
LSL
LSR
10.8.1.9
R4,R5
R4,R5
; R4 = R4 > R5
Triadic Addressing (TRI)
In this mode the result of an operation between two or three registers is stored into a third one.
RD = RS1 ∗ RS2 is the general format used in the order RD, RS1, RS1. RD, RS1, RS2 can be any of the
8 general purpose registers R0 … R7. If R0 is used as the destination register RD, only the condition code
flags are updated. This addressing mode is used for all arithmetic and logical operations.
Examples:

Bit Field Operations
This addressing mode is used to identify the position and size of a bit field for insertion or extraction. The
width and offset are coded in the lower byte of the source register 2, RS2. The content of the upper byte is
ignored. An offset of 0 denotes the right most position and a width of 0 denotes 1 bit. These instructions
are very useful to extract, insert, clear, set or toggle portions of a 16 bit word

debugging:
1. SIF: Set a channel interrupt flag
2. SSEM: Test and set a hardware semaphore
3. CSEM: Clear a hardware semaphore
4. BRK: Software breakpoint
5. NOP: No Operation
6. RTS: Terminate the current thread

Cycle Notation
Table 10-23 show the XGATE access detail notation. Each code letter equals one XGATE cycle. Each
letter implies additional wait cycles if memories or peripherals are not accessible. Memories or peripherals
are not accessible if they are blocked by the S12X_CPU. In addition to this Peripherals are only accessible
every other XGATE cycle. Uppercase letters denote 16 bit operations. Lowercase letters denote 8 bit
operations. The XGATE is able to perform two bus or wait cycles per S12X_CPU cycle.

10.8.4
Thread Execution
When the RISC core is triggered by an interrupt request (see Figure 10-1) it first executes a vector fetch
sequence which performs three bus accesses:
1. A V-cycle to fetch the initial content of the program counter.
2. A V-cycle to fetch the initial content of the data segment pointer (R1).
3. A P-cycle to load the initial opcode.
Afterwards a sequence of instructions (thread) is executed which is terminated by an "RTS" instruction. If
further interrupt requests are pending after a thread has been terminated, a new vector fetch will be
performed. Otherwise the RISC core will either resume a previous thread (beginning with a P-cycle to
refetch the interrupted opcode) or it will become idle until a new interrupt request is received. A thread can
only be interrupted by an interrupt request of higher priority.

n = RS or IMM4
Shifts the bits in register RD n positions to the right. The higher n bits of the register RD become filled
with the sign bit (RD[15]). The carry flag will be updated to the bit contained in RD[n-1] before the shift
for n > 0.
n can range from 0 to 16.
In immediate address mode, n is determined by the operand IMM4. n is considered to be 16 if IMM4 is
equal to 0.
In dyadic address mode, n is determined by the content of RS. n is considered to be 16 if the content of RS
is greater than 15.

Stack Support
To simplify the implementation of a program stack the XGATE can be configured to set RISC core register
R7 to the beginning of a stack region before executing a thread. Two separate stack regions can be defined:
One for threads of priority level 7 to 4 (refer to Section 10.3.1.5, “XGATE Initial Stack Pointer for

Introduction
This specification describes the function of the Clocks and Reset Generator (S12XECRG).
11.1.1
Features
The main features of this block are:
• Phase Locked Loop (IPLL) frequency multiplier with internal filter
— Reference divider
— Post divider
— Configurable internal filter (no external pin)
— Optional frequency modulation for defined jitter and reduced emission
— Automatic frequency lock detector
— Interrupt request on entry or exit from locked condition
— Self Clock Mode in absence of reference clock
• System Clock Generator
— Clock Quality Check
— User selectable fast wake-up from Stop in Self-Clock Mode for power saving and immediate
program execution
— Clock switch for either Oscillator or PLL based system clocks
• Computer Operating Properly (COP) watchdog timer with time-out clear window.
• System Reset generation from the following possible sources:
— Power on reset
— Low voltage reset

•
— Illegal address reset
— COP reset
— Loss of clock reset
— External pin reset
Real-Time Interrupt (RTI)
11.1.2
Modes of Operation
This subsection lists and briefly describes all operating modes supported by the S12XECRG.
• Run Mode
All functional parts of the S12XECRG are running during normal Run Mode. If RTI or COP
functionality is required the individual bits of the associated rate select registers (COPCTL,
RTICTL) have to be set to a non zero value.
• Wait Mode
In this mode the IPLL can be disabled automatically depending on the PLLWAI bit.
• Stop Mode
Depending on the setting of the PSTP bit Stop Mode can be differentiated between Full Stop Mode
(PSTP = 0) and Pseudo Stop Mode (PSTP = 1).
— Full Stop Mode
The oscillator is disabled and thus all system and core clocks are stopped. The COP and the
RTI remain frozen.
— Pseudo Stop Mode
The oscillator continues to run and most of the system and core clocks are stopped. If the
respective enable bits are set the COP and RTI will continue to run, else they remain frozen.
• Self Clock Mode
Self Clock Mode will be entered if the Clock Monitor Enable Bit (CME) and the Self Clock Mode
Enable Bit (SCME) are both asserted and the clock monitor in the oscillator block detects a loss of
clock. As soon as Self Clock Mode is entered the S12XECRG starts to perform a clock quality
check. Self Clock Mode remains active until the clock quality check indicates that the required
quality of the incoming clock signal is met (frequency and amplitude). Self Clock Mode should be
used for safety purposes only. It provides reduced functionality to the MCU in case a loss of clock
is causing severe system conditions.

Signal Description
This section lists and describes the signals that connect off chip.
11.2.1
VDDPLL, VSSPLL
These pins provides operating voltage (VDDPLL) and ground (VSSPLL) for the IPLL circuitry. This allows
the supply voltage to the IPLL to be independently bypassed. Even if IPLL usage is not required VDDPLL
and VSSPLL must be connected to properly.
11.2.2
RESET
RESET is an active low bidirectional reset pin. As an input it initializes the MCU asynchronously to a
known start-up state. As an open-drain output it indicates that an system reset (internal to MCU) has been
triggered.

NOTE
fVCO must be within the specified VCO frequency lock range. F.BUS (Bus
Clock) must not exceed the specified maximum. If POSTDIV = $00 then
fPLL is same as fVCO (divide by one).
The VCOFRQ[1:0] bit are used to configure the VCO gain for optimal stability and lock time. For correct
IPLL operation the VCOFRQ[1:0] bits have to be selected according to the actual target VCOCLK
frequency as shown in Table 11-2. Setting the VCOFRQ[1:0] bits wrong can result in a non functional
IPLL (no locking and/or insufficient stability).
