Background Debug Module 
MC9S12DP256 — Revision 1.1  
Background Debug Module (BDM)
Modes of Operation
BDM is available in all operating modes but must be enabled before 
firmware commands are executed.
Some system peripherals may have a control bit which allows 
suspending the peripheral function during background debug mode.
In special single-chip mode, background operation is enabled and active 
out of reset. This allows programming a system with blank memory.
BDM is also active out of special peripheral mode reset and can be 
turned off by clearing the BDMACT bit in the BDM status (BDMSTS) 
register. This allows testing of the BDM memory space as well as the 
user’s memory space. 
NOTE:
The BDM serial system should not be used in special peripheral mode 
since the CPU, which in other modes interfaces with the BDM to 
relinquish control of the bus during a free cycle or a steal operation, is 
not operating in this mode.
Normal Operation BDM operates the same in all normal modes.
Special Operation
Special single-chip 
mode
BDM is enabled and active immediately out of reset. This allows 
programming a system with blank memory.
Special peripheral 
mode
BDM is enabled and active immediately out of reset. BDM can be 
disabled by clearing the BDMACT bit in the BDM status (BDMSTS) 
register. The BDM serial system should not be used in special peripheral 
mode.
Emulation Modes In emulation modes, the BDM operates as in all normal modes.
