'''Background debug mode''' ('''BDM''') interface is an electronic interface that allows [[debugging]] of [[embedded system]]s. Specifically, it provides [[in-circuit emulator|in-circuit debugging]] functionality in microcontrollers. It requires a single wire and specialized electronics in the system being debugged. It appears in many [[Freescale Semiconductor]] products. Background commands are categorized into two types: Non-intrusive commands and Active background commands. Non-intrusive commands can be issued while the user program is running, which include memory access commands.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.datasheetarchive.com/datasheet?id=a84bd5f4cb577c604e833c56c460f32672f7e4&type=M&term=hcs08rmv1 |title=HCS08 Family Reference Manual |pages=34-35 |accessdate=2024-02-06}}</ref>
The interface allows a ''Host'' to manage and query a ''

The signals used by BDM to communicate data to and from the target are initiated by the host processor. The host

At the start of the next bit time, the host negates the transmission line, and the process repeats. Each bit is communicated in this manner.
In other words, the increasing complexity of today's software and hardware designs is leading to some fresh approaches to debugging. ''Silicon manufacturers offer more and more on-chip debugging features for emulation of new processors''.
This capability, implemented in various processors under such names as background debug mode (BDM), [[JTAG]] and on-chip [[In-circuit emulator|in-circuit emulation]], puts basic debugging functions on the chip itself. With a BDM (1 wire interface) or JTAG (standard JTAG) [[debug port]], you control and monitor the microcontroller solely through the stable on-chip debugging services.
This debugging mode runs even when the target system crashes and enables developers to continue investigating the cause of the crash.
==Microcontroller application development==
A good development tool environment is important to reduce total development time and cost. Users want to debug their application program under conditions that imitate the actual setup of their system. Because of that, the capability to debug a user program in an actual target system is required. This is known as [[in-circuit emulator|in-circuit debugging]]. Furthermore, most new MCUs have nonvolatile memory such as [[flash memory]] so that programming code on the target system is also required. This is known as [[In-system programming|in-circuit programming]].
To support in-circuit debugging and programming requirements, the [[HC08]] Family has the monitor mode and the HCS08 and RS08 utilize a background debug mode (BDM). The background debug hardware on the HCS08 consists of a background debug controller (BDC) and debug module (DBG). The background debug hardware on the RS08 consists of the background debug controller (BDC) only.

Depending on the target part, the BDM controller may feature a hardware [[breakpoint]] register. The register holds a value indicating an [[memory address|address]] in memory. When the target part's CPU accesses that ___location in memory, the BDM hardware can take control of the target part, stop program execution, and begin operating in
