Mar,
This is what I've learned about the handyboard so far, and hopefully it
will give you a little insight into what's going on with D0-D7 (the
external bus).
Because of the way the handyboard is configured, it's operating in special
test mode. In special test mode there is a feature enabled called the
IRV. It's the Internal Read Visibility. This means that for all internal
reads, the data is driven onto the external bus. So just with an
oscilloscope you won't be able to get anything meaningful from D0-D7. The
IRV feature is meant to help debug the 68HC11, and you need to use a logic
analyzer to really see anything from those pins.
