MCUez Personality Module for the DP256 - Janos Grantner - Aug 13 12:31:00 2002

Hi All!

I am currently in the process of swithching my Microcontroller
Interfacing class (ECE 451)
from an Intel microcontroller to the DP256. We have purchased target
boards from Technological
Arts and are trying to run some programs on the board. Unfortunatelly,
the MCUez version I
have downloaded from Motorola lacks of the DP256 specific files (it
supports up to the
DG128). Even though it looks like we can download the .abs files to the
correct memory locations
in the RAM, we couldn't get the start address into the PC, or modify any
target CPU register,
hence, couldn't run our programs. It is likely due to the lack of the
personality files. The DBUG12
in the flash knows that it is running on a DP256.

I have learned that the DP256 Personality Module for the MCUez does
exist. If any
of you have it please send it to me ASAP along with instructions what to
do with them to
update my MCUez. I have got about three weeks for evaluations, rewriting
the lab manual,
updating my lecture materials from A4 to DP256, etc. I would really
appreciate some quick help.
Thanks so much.

Janos

My problem as well. I know that Elektronikladen was working on the updated
code to flash the 256. You need the vector page flashed inorder to set the
startup address correctly.
Once Elektronikladen gets the code done (Oliver has said it will be within
the next two weeks) NOICE will support the flashing of the eeprom; NOICE is
waiting on Elektronikladen. If you have not considered NOICE yet you might
want to. A really outstanding debugger with the capability of flashing
eeprom. You will need a POD of some sort however to talk to your target
which it sounds like you have.

Gordan, responded with a note to my question about 1 week ago on Debug 12;
it does support the dp256, however you need to see Fridays' post on
bootstrapping a bootstrap using an older processor to get debug 12 to start
up.

The best bet still appears to be www.NOICEdebuger.com
<http://www.NOICEdebuger.com> and www.Elektronikladen.de
<http://www.Elektronikladen.de> right now; maybe Oliver will have
compassion on everyone and move the date up a bit.... hint....hint? If you
find a working solution please post it as I am in the same boat but with the
Motorola EVB.

You and we appear to be just a bit ahead of the times. Bob

Re: MCUez Personality Module for the DP256 - Gilles Blanquin - Aug 14 2:08:00 2002

Hi Janos.

"MCUez" is an old "free" software developed by Hiware for Motorola
(Hiware got acquired by Metrowerks/Motorola in July 2000) that you can use
to develop/debug with the Motorola SDI BDM cable.
The latest version of MCUez (2.04) provided flash programming and debugging
for HC12 cores only:
HC812A4(eeprom only), HC912B32, HC912D60, HC912DA/DG/128

http://e-www.motorola.com/collateral/MCUEZIDE.html

New devices with new flash technology were produced after this latest release:
HC912D60A, HC912DT128, HC912DT128A, HC912DG128A

If you have one of these new devices, you can contact
<> to get a "kit" to add "personality files"
for flash programming. Some people in the 68HC12 mailing list already
received some.

MCUez vs. HCS12 core/devices:
=============================

-Even if it seems like MCUez can talk in BDM (via SDI) with the HCS12
derivatives described on
http://e-www.motorola.com/webapp/sps/site/taxonomy.jsp?nodeId=03M0ym4t3ZGM0z
GQK100 ,

MCUez still use the HC12 family Break Module way to set hardware
breakpoints in flash. This module has been redesigned on HCS12 core and
therefore MCUez cannot debug in flash (except run/stop)! You still can set
yourself the break module by hand (directly in Memory). Not friendly at all.
Probably incompatibilities exist but this one is big enough!

For HCS12 devices, you would have to purchase CodeWarrior MOT v1.2 for HC12.
http://www.metrowerks.com/MW/Develop/CodeWarrior+for+Motorola+HC12+and+HCS12
.htm?cs_catalog=mwPages&parent=Embedded

Academic edition for 149 USD:
http://www.metrowerksstore.com/816bitac.html

-Also neither MCUez nor CodeWarrior MOT v1.2 "D-Bug12" HTI are compatible
with the "D-Bug12 v4.x.x" monitor available for MC9S12DP256.

Regards,

Gilles

Re: MCUez Personality Module for the DP256 - meyer_r_a - Sep 12 9:19:00 2002

I'm in the process of making the same conversion; also purchased the
TechArts boards. They ship MCUez on the CD, but from what has been
described here, it would appear not to work with the HCS core.

P&E has BDM cable and a development environment and debugger that
support the HCS12. We are in the process of getting them, so no
first hand experience yet. For universities, P&E has very favorable
terms.

What about a C compiler ? I have seen posts recently about
Imagecraft's and Metroworks - very mixed picture. Any experience,
especially in the academic setting, with either one? I have heard
there is a GNU compiler, but have no other data. Any advice would be
appreciated.

The GNU port, done by Stephane Carrez (sp?) of France, is quite good. He
turned the project over to the GNU organization some time ago, and all of
the links to his site appear to be broken; at least, I couldn't get anything
useful out of them.

I have a very long article due out this week or next in Nuts & Volts
magazine describing all the details in installing 68hc11/12 GNU C on a
Windows platform and setting up the various tools, such as the linker and
makefiles. I believe that there is enough detail in the article that even
those with no Unix experience can get the GNU suite up and running fairly
quickly. I even cover such esoterica as interrupt handlers and vector
setup. Perhaps some on this list would try instructions and give me
feedback. :-) > -- Robert Meyer

Re: MCUez Personality Module for the DP256 - meyer_r_a - Sep 12 9:52:00 2002

You say hc11/hc12 --- the DP256 uses hcs12. My understading is that
although "source compatible", the hcs12 cannot run code produced by a
compiler for the hc11/12 (see
http://e-www.motorola.com/brdata/PDFDB/docs/EB376.pdf
read the discussion on page 7, on MOVB/MOVW instructions, with
respect to PC relative addressing)

Re: Re: MCUez Personality Module for the DP256 - Gordon Doughman - Sep 12 10:11:00 2002

The only incompatibility between the HC12 & the HCS12 object code is the
offsets produced by assemblers for the movb & movw instructions when using
pc relative addressing (not really a very useful mode for these instructions
since you're restricted to an offset of +15/-16). If the GNU implementation
for the HC12 does not use this addressing mode for these two instructions
there should not be any problems. I have been using a version of the Cosmic
compiler for the last 3 years (don't want to upgrade because I don't want to
completely regression test all my code) that doesn't have the 'fix' for the
movb & movw instructions & have never run into a situation where the
compiler used pc relative addressing for either of these instructions.

Gordon

Perhaps this may help:
Professor Valvano's book on real time programming using ICC11/ICC12:
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0534366422/imagecraft
Professor Han Way Huang's book using ICC11. He has a new one out using ICC12:
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0766816001/imagecraft

I am almost certain there is at least one other book using ICC12. UT Austin
has been using ICC12 for years, and various DeVry Institutes has just order
over 100+ licenses for ICC12.

Best of all, d/l a fully functional 30 day demo of ICC12 and see for
yourself. It is VERY easy to use.

Some months ago, it was pretty bad in terms of code size and speed.

I use Cosmic and it's code is _very_ compact ad fast.
