Thank you for your efforts in trying to bring CodeWarrier Classic into the modern age.

I’m curious though. In Device Manager on my WIN-7 64 bit system my Multilink FX shows up under Jungo as USB Multilink 2.0 and WinDriver. Since I can program and debug with this what would updating the DLLs do for me?

Thanks
John

Greetings,

Codewarrior Classic does work with Win 7/8.1/10 and 64-bit machines if you download the P&E patch I have created:
http://www.pemicro.com/faqs/ faq_view.cfm?id=211&menu_id= faqs

Also, I am working with Freescale to get Codewarrior classic for HC12 to be updated on November 20th to work with not only all of the old but also the latest P&E USB Multilinks and cyclones, the latest operating systems, latest bug fixes and features. With this new update, you would not need to use my patch to get it working on the latest operating systems or latest hardware interfaces.

Kind regards,

I’m using Freescale Codewarrier 5.9 IDE on WIN-7 64 bit programming the 9S12xdp512. Free for up to 32K code space. Depending on the purchase/service module you can also get 64K or full versions.
Coupled with the P&E programmer debugger it’s a very usable infrastructure. It may not work on anything past WIN-7.

Hi,
I used to work with miniIDE for compilation and download purposes with 32 bit computers.
I have Adapt 9s12dp256 board and it was quite convenient.
The problem is that miniIDE does not work with 64 bit computers.
Does someone have an idea about an alternative software?
Thanks,
Eli

NoICE (under Windows) used P&E's unit12 DLL to interface with the
Multilink. The pod protocol isn't documented that I know of, and P&E
charges for the DLL documentation and distribution rights.

I see that P&E does offer a Linux driver for the Multilink
(https://www.pemicro.com/support/download_processor.cfm?type=3), but it
isn't clear what the interface is.

Nigel's uBdm12 is a serial interface, which would definitely be easier
to deal with, either natively or via NoICE/Wine

I started with the TechArts NoICE but eventually had to go to the P&E and programmed/debugged using CodeWarrier. Was good for the longest time with the 32K free C compiler but eventually went up over and now I’m closing in on 64K. Partly because I’ve also added code download.

However, it’s for a client who paid to have it done so I can’t release it but perhaps I can give you some ideas.

The module
http://www.autoartisans.com/rings/Assembled9S12-1.JPG
has 5 CAN ports, RS485, USB (FTDI-245), 6 relay drivers and 6 dry contact to ground connections. I now have an add on board that has battery backed up real time clock, MicroSD card and Ethernet module. The 5 CAN channels were original allocated to one per ring.
http://www.autoartisans.com/rings/Barge1a.jpg

Now instead it’s CANOpen and J1939 and another custom CAN bus. Communication with the host PC is through the USB port. There’s firmware that puts the system into CANUSB mode simulating a bare bones fixed bit rate CANUSB from Lawicel.com. That’s so the ds30Loader software can be run to program dsPIC devices on the CANOpen bus without removing hardware.

Upgrades to the 9S12 are done in a similar way. There is a small loader written into protected memory. If two of the CAN bus channels are connected together and see a particular on/off sequence that can’t be CAN messages it enters the bootloader instead of using a vector in FLASH to the application.

Once inside it copies a number of routines into RAM and then waits for the .phy file created by the LogToPhy program from P&E. The loader earases FLASH on receipt of an ‘F’ command. Then the download part just waits for ‘P’ command and S records and writes them to FLASH. On receipt of each read it echo’s a ‘*’. So there’s handshaking on a line by line basis. When the last record is reached the host software sends an S9 along with a file checksum and if it all matches the bootloader writes the start address into 0xC000. The final act it also to read/write protect the FLASH. There is a special back door key that is known to the bootloader and application that can unlock this for erasing and reprogramming.

On power up if there is a valid address at 0xC000 the bootloader goes there right away. If it’s a bad address the CAN bus jumper cable can take it back into the loader. Once programmed the loader has a Run command to also branch to that address.

I used information from AN2546, AN2375 and AN4258 as a guide. I can’t release it because my downloader application and the bootloader also use encryption/decryption to prevent reverse engineering of the code.

Ahhh I see, I'm trying to avoid using windows unless necessary.
The whole story (which I apologize for nothing giving you sooner, mostly because I didnt realize myself) is I'm trying to write a bootloader to the EEPROM using a BDM, so that other people can write a program to the bootloader, but I only have linux to use.
Without trying to be cheeky I was wondering if you could possibly advise me what the best course of action to take.
I'm not very experienced with embedded software and even less so with the HCS12 chipset.
Thanks for you help so far.

Well, you are not really using windows if you run a windows app under wine !

I have no experience in writing bootloaders, so I cannot help you
there. I believe Motorola, then Freescale had an app note on it though.
You could check their web site.

However, I am told the HCS12 is not recommend for new designs. My local
Freescale FAE says it will be around for ten years, but their main sales
go to the big automakers and the wind could change very rapidly.

that's just my two ha'penneth worth :-)
