MC68EZ328 Dragonball bbug.exe debugging tool

[iMo]

Hi, long time back there was a DOS program called "bbug.exe" (Bootstrap Mode Debugging Program) for serial debug access into the 68EZ328 CPU. Some links and Motorola/Freescale/NXP docs refer to NXP site for download but I cannot find it anymore.
Also a site is mentioning the name of the download file where bbug.exe is included:
MC68EZ328ADSTOOLS2_0.zip
Any hint where to find it, plz?

I found it included with the demo-CDROM of the board.

Which board do you have?

Mine is EZ V2 original board. It's supported by CodeWarrior. I have a full license for their toolchain, IDE, ROMs, and misc. There is a special bootstrap in the ROM, with their MetroTRK protocol.

The "bbug.exe" is actually just a bootloader that loads stuff into the ram and jumps to an address to start executing stuff, and it somehow manages "debugging" by uploading a small "utilities" (they are called "helpers") here and there to dump registers and to write break instructions into the ram in order to make wild breakpoints. But it's a rudimentary tool sold as "free demo" and it doesn't have a protocol, everything is manually managed, so I wouldn't recommend it for anything serious but rather CodeWarrior even for hobby projects because it makes everything more comfortable and saves a lot of time.

Unfortunately I no more have "bbug.exe" on hands. I tried it years ago (2002?) when I was in business with Palm, then I switched to CodeWarrior to develop some app for their PalmOS/68k.

I have an old Palm with that chip and want to make some experiments with it (it is broken). I was using it some 20y back too. So I have basically been looking for the .zip file above..
PS: also the bbug.exe should be included in "EZTOOLS"

bbug.exe should be included in "EZTOOLS"

That's indeed the label on one of the two CD ROMs found with the board

Great! Now how to get it off the CD
