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.
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 falling edge in the BKGD pin. The hardware
handshake protocol in
should follow this timing constraint in order to avoid the risk of an electrical conflict in the BKGD pin.
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 command that
requires CPU execution (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 should decide to abort the
ACK sequence in order to be free to issue a new command. Therefore, the protocol should provide a
mechanism in which a command, and therefore a pending ACK, could be aborted.

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.
Differently from a regular BDM command, the ACK pulse does not provide
a time out. This means that in the case of a WAIT or STOP instruction being
executed, the ACK would be prevented from being issued. If not aborted, the
ACK would remain pending indefinitely. See the handshake abort procedure
described in
