MC68HC12 Datasheet, PDF (85/478 Pages) Motorola, Inc – The MC68HC912DT128A microcontroller unit (MCU) is a 16-bit device composed of standard on-chip peripherals including a 16-bit central processing unit

Operating Modes
Background Debug Mode
Once enabled, background mode can be made active by a serial
command sent via the BKGD pin or execution of a CPU12 BGND
instruction. While background mode is active, the CPU can interpret
special debugging commands, and read and write CPU registers,
peripheral registers, and locations in memory.
While BDM is active, the CPU executes code located in a small on-chip
ROM mapped to addresses $FF20 to $FFFF, and BDM control registers
are accessible at addresses $FF00 to $FF06. The BDM ROM replaces
the regular system vectors while BDM is active. While BDM is active, the
user memory from $FF00 to $FFFF is not in the map except through
serial BDM commands.
