      NoICE Remote Debugger

      NoICE is a remote debugger for microprocessors. It comprises a Windows host program and a small target-resident monitor. The two programs communicate via RS-232 (with an option to use BDM with the 68HC12). Working together, they provide you with most of the features of an In Circuit Emulator - but with No ICE (and very little cash).

      68HC05 Family Tutorial

      The Tutorial starts with an architectural overview of the 68HC05 central processor unit (CPU). It covers memory organization, the CPU programmer's model, stack pointer operation, and the 68HC05 instruction set and its addressing modes. Once learned, this knowledge is applicable to all 68HC05 devices, because they all use the same CPU.

Mark Twain quote for the day:

If it had not been for him, with his incendiary "Early to bed and early to rise," and all that sort of foolishness, I wouldn't have been so harried and worried and raked out of bed at such unseemly hours when I was young. The late Franklin was well enough in his way; but it would have looked more dignified in him to have gone on making candles and letting other people get up when they wanted to.
- Letter from Mark Twain, San Francisco Alta California, July 25, 1869
