68HC12 and HCS12 development tools
Freescale are in the process of converting the 68HC12 range to
use the newer technology HCS12 (faster and with a lower minimum voltage)
also known as Star 12
or MC9S12 found
on the chips such as the MC9S12DP256 as well as the S12X
P&E's parallel Multilink12 provides access to the Background Debug Mode (BDM) on
all the 68HC(S)12 family microprocessor. It acts as the hardware interface between
a PCs parallel port and a standard 6 pin background
debug header on the target system.

The USB Multilink cable
will support and automatically adjust to the higher clock frequencies and lower voltages of the
extended 68HC(S)12 family. The USB Multilink cable will work with
all the current HC12 chipsand has a high download speed. The USB
Multilink will also work with the HCS08
microcontroller. |

Cyclone
Pro Interface
This box will connect a PC via Ethernet, USB or Serial ports to an
HC08, HCS08, HCR08, HC12, HCS12 or HCS12X. It can be used as a
Debugger or as a Flash programmer under manual or automatic control.
It can even be disconnected from the PC and used as a standalone
Flash programmer. Multiple Cyclones can be driven by a single
PC for production environments and their memory can be extended to
128MBytes where very large programs or a lot of them need to be held. If you are developing applications for any ( or
indeed all ) of these Freescale devices it is the only CPU specific
hardware development tool you will ever need to buy
For more details of the Cyclone
Pro
A simple command line assembler adequate for many small applications ( no
linker but the source file can have multiple includes). It provides
macros and conditional assembly.
WinIDE is a windows package that includes a configurable text editor and
provides the ability to launch a range of other programs from within its
centralised operation. Includes the Assembler.
A windows package that via the cable provides all the services of a
debugger providing as it does access to the contents of variables and
registers along with control of the CPU's execution via Breakpoints and Run
commands.
When you display the contents of one of the micros standard registers
with the Reg Explorer it shows not just the contents but their Freescale Mnemonic
and a brief text description of that state. When setting
values you can choose between valid options for each field and sub field.
Using the BDM cable to interface between a PC and a target processor this
windows software package will program either on chip or external
flash memory or on chip EEPROM.

.
A set of C library calls that provide an API for using the BDM
interface. Ideal for those who need to write their own PC based test
or diagnostics programs. The standard version includes a license for 5
units. The distribution version provides unlimited production of
applications.
Packages
The programs above are available in a number of packages containing Cable,
winIDE, Assembler, Editor, ICD, RegExplorer and Flash Programmer.
