Hi, We are looking to use a simulator for HCS12 family. We are using actually ICC12 for compiling and Dbug-12 for download and some debugging parts. But Dbug-12 doesn't offer the possibility to create breakpoints, execute code, and see meanwhile the variable state, in a user friendly interface. I talk to a supplier and we said me that NoICE12 could be a product for this case. So do you suggest me to try this product or another one for this case? What are you using actually? Thank you, Alexandre Zambon Software engineer Pran Systems inc. phone: 418-688-7726 #232 fax: 418-688-7738 |

One way is a simulator, but the other (better) way is to use Background Debug Mode (BDM) -- hardware debugging support inside each HC(S)12. Works with interface unit and host computer software (debugger). Look for "BDM" adpater/cable. If you want to build it, look at free adapter Podex: http://duch.cz/podex/ Regards, Marek P. |

Could you be more specific about what Dbug-12 doesn't do? I don't see why you said it does not offer breakpoints. I have had no trouble with the breakpoints or executing code in D-Bug12. It's true that it is not a source-level debugger. I think NOICE is the best one to start with, but I also think some of the Cyclone stuff from P&E or even the Nohau stuff could be better for a professional environment. In another direction, using the free GNU-m68hc1x GCC for a compiler is my choice. I have found some GUI interfaces for gdb source-level debugger, like Insight. http://sources.redhat.com/insight/ http://www.nohau.com/emul12pc.html |

Is there any Windows version of GUI interfaces for gdb source-level debugger? Thanks. |

I don't think it would be great if it was for MS Windows... err, I mean... Yes, theoretically you could get a Win version. When they talk on that site about Cygwin, they mean stuff for compiling it on Win. I don't know though about other details on this. I haven't tried anything with it. --- In , "kqzca" <zhangqun@t...> wrote: > > > In another direction, using the free GNU-m68hc1x GCC for > > a compiler is my choice.

NoICE includes a simulator for HC12 instructions (but not for peripherals), but it is most useful with a BDM pod so you can exercise your actual hardware. And it will load ICC12 DBG files for source-level debugging. For a BDM pod you can use P&E Multilink, Elektronikladen ComPOD, Kevin Ross, Softec inDART12, or Tech Arts microBDM12. Will burn Flash and use hardware breakpoints with any of these pods. You can try NoICE for 30 days to see if it will meet your needs.
