Hello everyone!
I'm a begginer in MCU programming.
I was trying to make my MCU get access the flash and write n-bytes on it, for
when I reboot my MCU keep this bytes on the flash, for future use.
I program in Assembly and my MCU is HCS12X.
Can you make a tutorial or a example for me? (explaining how write and read)
Thank you very much!

Hello, Isaac
In order to write into flash area, you need
- even a BDM (Background Debug Module) connected on parallel or USB port,
and "the good soft" like NoIce or CodeWarrior,
- or a "monitor" present on your CPU and a serial link with it
For the first way (BDM), the operation is quite easy. I just ask NoIce to
download to flash the program I just compiled.
For the second way... I don't know.
For you, why don't try to write in C Language ? It's so better, so easier to
read and write than assembly?
Do you prefer write
ldab 3,x
clra
addd #5
stab 3,x
than
my_var = my_var + 5;
You can use CodeWarrior (free for size limited programs), or Imagecraft
compiler (free too for little programs).
99% of my developments are in C language. I only use assembly for some
functions were assembly is quicker than C, and I can tell you C can produce
a very small code (it depends on the quality of the compiler).
Look on the net, you can find very good C programming course.
Maybe you will have to spend some time before... to economize many time
after!
Hope this help.

Maby you really want to write to the EEPROM area to store configuration
settings and non volatile variables that are going to have their values
preserved between power off/on cycles?
EEPROM is actually also FLASH but arranged in a way that it will allow much
shorter erase lengths (2 or 4 bytes I think).
Or are you trying to make a boot loader that will be able to download the
program which will be executed in FLASH memory?

Hello! Thank's for the answers.
So... I have a program working here.
My interest is to write some variables in my flash MCU, so that when I turn off and on my MCU these 'variables' are still there.
I already have a BDM working..
The problem is that I have consulted several manuals, but I do not understand what I do ...
From what I saw there is something related to some kind of clock and the PPAGE.
I do not understand what registers must allow access to the recording on this flash..
PS: Sorry about my post... My english is not the best...
Thanks for you attention!

Different S12X families have different flash and different EEPROM. You
should start from specifying exact part number. Then you should check
availbility of application notes on Freescale www, there must be some.
I think all S12X have some kind of EEPROM available. EEPROM is #1 of what
should be used for nonvolatile variables.

Hello! Thank's for the answers.
So... I have a program working here.
My interest is to write some variables in my flash MCU, so that when I turn
off and on my MCU these 'variables' are still there.
I already have a BDM working..
The problem is that I have consulted several manuals, but I do not
understand what I do ...
From what I saw there is something related to some kind of clock and the
PPAGE.
I do not understand what registers must allow access to the recording on
this flash..
PS: Sorry about my post... My english is not the best...
Thanks for you attention!
