I Picked up my Puma board Last night.
I have already ordered my Freescale samples and they should be on there way soon.
My build will be very simple and I will only be running wasted spark to begin with.
I knew that I had a box that I found years ago and thought that it would be the right size.
I just found it and it's great fit.
OK the the colour is Sh*t but I can fix that with paint.
Some of the pads are a bit close to the pads but I can deal with that.
My next step is to put on the power supply components and check all the voltages are correct.
You don't want to find that your voltages are not right when you have the Micro soldered on.
I have found most of my sensors that I have been collecting over the years but I still can't find my ignition drivers. Might be a trip to pick-a-part coming up.

Re: Spudmn's Puma board build
Awesome news!!
Take a look at the docs before soldering things. Besides of that, you'll fine. Ask about any doubts man.
That case really fits the board. Where was it used for in its other life?

I thought that you designed the board to fit my box
I don't know what the box was used for. I picked it up from a surplus electronics store.

It used to house a Autosec Cellular Transmitter for an alarm system.
It has a much better use now

Re: Spudmn's Puma board build
My CPU has just arrived.
I will have to get my A into G and get the other parts sorted.
What is my best option with regards to the BDM. build one? borrow one?

Re: Spudmn's Puma board build
I am still around for a few weeks, if you're quick, you can use mine. Perhaps just build the thing up and bring it over with a win laptop to burn from?nitrousnrg wrote:If you can, borrow one!
Marcos, can you assist Spudmn in getting a cpu/powersupply only board setup built correctly asap?

spudmn, populating these components you'll be able to program the serial monitor:

Does someone have codewarrior over there?

Re: Spudmn's Puma board build
I assume that I just need 5V on the Micro. Decoupling caps, Xtal and PLL and the DBM connector as a minimum system?
I should be able to hack something up pretty quick.
Will I need the 5V Switched as well?
There is something Fred said about a CAP for the BDM that needs to go in the documentation. What is this?

Re: Spudmn's Puma board build
no switched 5v needed. You need it when you're going to load freeems firmware if the FT232 tkes 5v from the board. You'd need the load/run header by that time too.
The cap hack is to delay the mcu start, but its safe to program it without the capacitor. You'll see that the bdm programs and verifies it successfully without cap
