Boston, Massachusetts - P&E has released a suite of development tools for Freescale's 68RS08 family of microcontrollers. With this launch, P&E now offers products to take an RS08 project from development to production, including the DEVRS08KA2 low-cost development board and P&E's popular Cyclone PRO.

In addition to the DEVRS08KA2 development board, P&E has also launched the ICDRS08 In-Circuit Debugger, PROG08 Flash/EEPROM Programmer, WinIDERS08 Development Envirionment, and a package which combines the USB-ML-12E USB Multilink BDM Interface with the RS08 debugger, programmer, and IDE. The package also includes an RS08 simulator and register files.

The RS08 family of microcontrollers are reduced-core versions of the S08 architecture, designed with a focus on very small and highly portable embedded devices.
