Monitor ROM (MON)
9.3 Features
9.4 Functional Description
Technical Data
124
Features of the monitor ROM include the following:
The monitor ROM receives and executes commands from a host
computer.
mode and communicate with a host computer via a standard RS-232
interface.
Simple monitor commands can access any memory address. In monitor
mode, the MCU can execute host-computer code in RAM while most
MCU pins retain normal operating mode functions. All communication
between the host computer and the MCU is through the PTA0 pin. A
level-shifting and multiplexing interface is required between PTA0 and
the host computer. PTA0 is used in a wired-OR configuration and
requires a pull-up resistor.
1. No security feature is absolutely secure. However, Freescale’s strategy is to make reading or
copying the FLASH difficult for unauthorized users.
