Nexus Development Interface (NDI)
MPC5606S Microcontroller Reference Manual, Rev. 7
958 Freescale Semiconductor
 
26.4.2 Operating mode
In Full-Port mode, all available MDO pins are used to transmit messages. All trace features are enabled or 
can be enabled by writing the configuration registers via the JTAG port. Four MDO pins are available in 
Full-Port mode.
26.4.2.1 Disabled-Port mode
In Disabled-Port mode, message transmission is disabled. Any debug feature that generates messages 
cannot be used. The primary features available are class 1 features and read/write access.
26.4.2.2 Censored mode
The NDI supports internal flash censorship mode by preventing the transmission of trace messages and 
Nexus access to memory-mapped resources when censorship is enabled.
26.4.2.3 Stop mode
Stop mode logic is implemented in the Nexus port controller (NPC). When a request is made to enter Stop 
mode, the NDI block completes monitoring of any pending bus transaction, transmits all messages already 
queued, and acknowledges the stop request. After the acknowledgment, the system clock inputs are shut 
off by the clock driver on the device. While the clocks are shut off, the development tool cannot access 
NDI registers via the JTAG port.
26.5 External signal description
All the signals are available in the 208BGA without any multiplexing scheme. Refer to Chapter 3, Signal 
Description, for details.
