Some of the new HCS12 families (HCS12 B, C, E and K families) support both
5V and 3.3V operation.

The Nohau emulator indeed supports also Expanded modes and accessing
external RAM. (I heard from customers it is the only HCS12 full emulator
that supports both single-chip and expanded modes - all others can
apparently support only single-chip modes).

Hope this helps,

I did a trade study on this very question last year. You can find it at
www.toucantechnology.com.

I would appreciate any feedback you might care to offer.

I was searching from my side and finally found several In-circuit
emulator manufacturers :
- Nohau (as you mentionned)
- Lauterbach
- Hitex
- iSYSTEM

Any information about quality regarding cost ? --- In , "Steve-HighPoint" <sdillier@h...>

Their compiler and linker is great and very flexible. It is much
easier for me to use than the CodeWarrior products. I have recently
switched to using the ICD12Z debugger from P&E. I use it with their
ieee695 support for high level language debugging. I have had good
success with their product.

Thanks for you information, I'll take a look to your website.
By the way, I thought S12 was only working externally at 5V...

Do you also support expanded modes (accessing external RAM) ? --- In , Doron Fael <doronf@n...> wrote:

Hello,

I represent Nohau Corporation that carries both full-featured emulator and
BDM for the HC12 and HCS12 (STAR12) families.

The Nohau full emulator offers the following advantages over BDMs and other
full emulators in the market:

Support for all HCS12 derivatives (HCS12 A, B, C, D, E, H, K and T
families), large trace buffer and sophisticated triggers, unlimited number
of hardware and software breakpoints, 3.3V and 5V operation to 25MHz
bus-speed, extensive debug support through all HC12 operating conditions,
including - Resets, Power-Downs, full PLL support (including frequent
speed changes), and Limp-Home mode. Code execution is allowed both using
Emulation RAM (usually more convenient for debugging), or using the
internal Flash of the micro (useful for late debug stages).

Many target adapter options are offered, including ones with a high-speed
flex-cable that allows escaping from space-limited targets at any of 4
directions - 0, 90, 180 and 270 degrease.

If you like, you can find more information at:
www.nohau.com/emul12pc.html

You can also contact me off-list if you need more information or would like
to watch a web-based demo of the emulator.

Hope this helps,

Regarding the ICE for HCS12. I have the embedded workbench from IAR and have had a number of difficulties with their CSpy debugger. Their compiler and linker is great and very flexible.

Your real decision will be deciding on a good tool chain for development thru debugging. Unfortunately there is not an industry leader that has a good solution from start to finish (at least in my humble opinion). There has been a good deal of discussion along these lines in this forum and there is a lot of good info in past dialogues that you might want to review.

As far as debugging is concerned - the BDM mode for debugging is a little weak but it is economical and for the most part usable. You will need to get one of the debuggers to work well with your compiler/linker and then you will be OK. You have to remember a few things like the limited number of hardware breakpoints, most of the debuggers have a hard time if you use the pll to switch frequencies, some of them are limited to 16Mhz operation. Do a good check to make sure the tools are compatible with your project. You must budget time and money to get the tool set working well for you.

If you have the money - buy a Nohau full blown ICE. Doron Fael of Nohau who works with us on this forum is extremely well informed and can get you going quickly. I had the full Nohau emulator for 68HC11 and it worked very well.

Good luck !!!
