Warning:
We now ship the Husky11 trainer without the EEPROM, 28C256,
installed. The EEPROM, 28C256, in DIP package has been discontinued by
IC manufacturers. There is no replacement available.
Example applications:
- EVM, EVS replacement
- 68HC11 Trainer for students
- 68HC11 prototype platform for engineers
- Single Chip Real Time Emulation for the 68HC711E9, E20
- 68HC11 SBC, Single Board Computer
The Husky11-USB board is very similar to the original Motorola EVB
board in terms of the PCB component layout, thus allowing a smooth
transition for upgrading the old EVB board. All users’ EVB/EVBU/EVBU2
add-on boards can also be used without any modifications. A small
solderless breadboard allows quick prototyping of user’s additional
circuits.
All 68HC11 I/O lines (PA0-PA7, PB0-PB7, PC0-PC7, PD0-PD5, PE0-PE7)
on the Husky11-USB board are available to user programs. Port B and port C
are emulated by 68HC24 PRU. We also added a 65C22 VIA to offer 16 more
bi-direction I/O lines (port F and G) for keypad and LCD applications.

The price of the
Husky11
kit for students and
schools is $199.00.
The price includes the Husky11 board, a solderless breadboard
and a
6 foot USB cable.
For US and Canadian orders we will also include a 9V 500mA switching power supply AC
adapter at no extra cost.
The board comes with everything on the above picture. All on-board I/O devices can be disabled if the board is
used as an MC68HC711E9 In-Circuit Emulator for user’s target board. The emulator
cable assembly will be sold as an option.
The crystal of the 68HC11 on the board is
removable. An 8 MHz crystal is included with
the board. To change the 68HC11 operating frequency is merely to
replace the 8 MHz crystal with a new one. -
You can tackle many more complex projects with the
Husky11 board for your senior projects in real world applications. The
possible advanced applications with this board include, but are not
limited to:
Robot Applications Home Automation via X10 or RS485 interface Home Security System Fingerprint Access Control Electronic Voting Machine via RS485 interface Personal Alarm Clock Personal Weather Station Voice Processing Applications ( Voice Recorder and Voice
Recognition System ) Industrial control and Instrumentation Applications Metal Detector and Ultrasonic Motion Detector Applications Eight Channel Christmas Light Chaser DC Motor Speed Control Stepper Motor Control Telephone DTMF tone Remote Control Infrared Remote Control RF wireless Remote Control System with external RF

FAQ:
- What is the WICE
debugger and Phantom monitor, anyway?
Take the Motorola EVB board as an example, you run PC
terminal software to debug by sending commands to the BUFFALO monitor.
The WICE debugger software is like a PC terminal program with many
features – data watch, symbolic debugging, and easy to use
on-line assembler, just to name a few. The Phantom monitor firmware in
the Husky11-USB board is like the BUFFALO monitor in the Motorola EVB board.
Normally the phantom monitor address range is $7000-$7FFF, but is
$E000-$FFFF during power-up. The reason it is called Phantom
Monitor is that it has a ghost address range at $E000-$FFFF during
power up.
- What’s the purpose of the RS485?
The RS485 on the Husky11-USB board is a standard communication
interface port and it can communicate with any system that has a RS485
port. It could communicate a PC, a SBC or another Husky11-USB board, as
long as it has a RS485 interface port. It’s mainly used in a long
distance communication up to 5000 feet. If a professor uses his
Husky11-USB board as the master units and daisy chain all students board
as the slave units, he/she can collect some information from students' boards in the classroom electronically in real-time.
If you have to debug a RS485 or RS232 based network
product,
instead of purchasing many emulators for every node, you can save a lot
of money by using the Husky11 boards.
- How does the board communicate with a PC?
Just like the Motorola EVB, the board uses the UART
68B50 to
communicate with a PC Com port for debugging code, so the 68HC11’s
SCI can be used by user programs. The 68HC11’s SCI can be configured to
a user serial port or an RS485 port or an IR port. The user serial port
is available at the header J33 in TTL logic level. The RS485 port is available
at the terminal block T1, so you can
daisy chain many boards together to make a control system which has one
master unit that talks to many slave units. The IR port is represented
by the 38KHz IR transmitter (located next to the terminla block T4 at the bottom
edge of the PC board) and the IR detector (located next to the trimmer pot
and at the bottom edge of the PC board).
- Which board to buy, Fox11 or Husky11-USB?
The Fox11 board runs in expanded mode, without the
68HC24.
The port B and C are used for address and data buses. You can use the Port A, D and E of the 68HC11,
except the PA3, PD0-PD1 and PE0. If you think it is acceptable, you can
buy the Fox11 board for $124.00. However, if you have some applications
that need to emulate the port B and C, it might be a better idea to pay extra for the
Husky11-USB board,
not to mention the fact that you would get lot more hardware features.
If you are a student, we recommend the Husky11-USB board, the
extra cost is well worth it and you will gain much more 68HC11
programming knowledge and experience.
If you use the
board as a particular production tester, which performs a fixed
function, the Fox11 board might be a better choice due to the low
cost.
If you are a software consultant who develops many
products
based on the 68HC11, we recommend the Husky11-USB board.
If you are a software consultant who has to write software
for different microcontrollers, but you are much more familiar with the
HC11 controller than others, then you can use the Husky11-USB board to develop demo software on the 68HC11 only. When all
specifications are agreed upon, you can change the coding for the
actual microcontroller.
- Is there another option?
There were many great 68HC11 EVBs as the follows:
The popular Marvin Green’s Botboard.
The popular Kevin Ross's Botboard-Plus.
The famous Pete Dunster’s 68HC11F1 development board.
The
Dr. Fred Martin’s Handy Board.
The original Motorola EVB and EVM system
Unfortunately all of those products have been discontinued, but we
have been continuously improving and supporting our 68HC11
trainers.
