I wonder what a crap ? Why Motorola sold program compiled this way ? Without a readme about what I need/have to do to run their program
91, floppy space was a premium. The program was not "sold". It was offered as "freeware". They supplied a manual for the debugger with the board.
Motorola seems a crap about this EVS, also Freescale have answered they do not have any documentation/Apps/whatever …
Back when this was originally done, they ran a BBS. It was moved to an FTP site at one time but even that was maybe the mid 90s. I am not too surprised that they no longer have documentation available for an evaluation board from 20+ years ago.

that m683xx bdm is good for the BDM, in order to replace BD32.exe, but the BBCDI talks serially, Cougar.exe and DIBUG.exe are designed to talk to the DI module on the EVS board thorough a serial protocol that is not BDM and it has advanced features, e.g. the breakpoint unit in the ASIC chip installed in the BCCDI module. This chip is controller serially.
Yea, I know how it works, sort of... Again it has been a very long time ago. I am only suggesting another more common approach to develop with the CPU32. Really, I doubt there are many of these old evaluation boards around. From what I remember the DI was really just a high level BDM interface. The only real advantage (other than not having to bit bang a printer port) was that it had some hardware to do breakpoints. The BDM alone will handle software breakpoints. Well, it also did not cost much to get started compared with a full out HP system.
If you forget the DI and do your own thing with the BDM, you can even support some of the newer parts. To be honest, I can't think of anytime when using the BDM where I could not do what I needed. Bit banging the port was slow (better than JTAG) but for basic hardware checkout and programming was fine.
Shown below are my Microtek ICE and Hewlett Packard Processor Probe. Both for the CPU32. To the left is my Pentica for the 6811, modified to work at a high speed of 8MHz!
The HP is similar to the DI except you can ditch the old RS232 and move to Ethernet. This was actually a nice little setup for it's time. Cheaper than the real HP systems.
The Microtek also uses Ethernet to interface with the PC.
Another option may be to use the CPU32BUG.
