s19 file and 3rd party programmers

Hi all,

I am using CodeWarrior and HC9S12A128 processor. I use s19 files 
created with from CodeWarrior with 3 byte addresses to download our 
FW thru the serial port. This works fine. But now we are trying to 
get our 3rd party manufacture to program the A128 chips using these 
s19 files and they are failing. They use a BP Microsystems 
programmer and the chips come out blank as far as I can tell.

My question is: is their a standard for what s19 files should look 
like for programmers like BP Microsystems? The s19 file only 
contains code in the 0x4000 block and 0xC000 block so the 3 byte 
addresses do not contain pages (00 for page #).  Is it industry 
standard to always use a paged address?

I'm hoping somebody has experience with this or at least trying to 
get a feel for what other HC12 programmers do with their s19 files 
and page numbers.

Thx in advance for any help.
Eric
	

Strictly speaking what you have are not s-records. They are logical 
records. Motorola s-records require linear physical addresses. For the 
HC9S12A128, this means addresses in the range $E0000-$FFFFF. You can 
download a converter program (Log2Phy_12) from P&E Microcomputer Systems 
website at www.pemicro.com which will convert your records.

I'm not exactly sure this is your problem but it is worth a try.

Perfect. This is exactly what I was looking for. Thx so much.

Hi Eric,
When you build a CodeWarrior project, in the "bin" folder, a .s19 but
also 
a .phy are generated. The .phy file is the linear physical srecord that you 
need.
