Hi, We are going to buy a new environment for a new uC. Actually, we are using a Fujitsu 16 bits (MB90F94x). What do you think of the HCS12X family from Motorola ? Does anyone have some bad (/good) experience with it ? Our dealer suggest us the CodeWarrior IDE from MetroWerks for HCS12 (compiler C, assembler, linker, emulator). What do you think of this one ? Do you know a better one ? Our dealer suggest us the dev board: http://www.axman.com/support/DEMO9S12XDT512, AXM-0350/DEMO9S12XDT512_UG_C.pdf or http://www.softecmicro.com/products.html?type=detail&title=SK-S12XDP512-A Have you had some problems with one of the two boards ? Our dealer suggest us the following 'in-circuit emulator, debugger and programmer' http://www.freescale.com/webapp/sps/site/prod_summary.jsp?code=USBMULTILINKB DM&nodeId=01624684492994 Same question: problems ? Do you know a C++ compiler for this family ? Is it compatible with CodeWarrior ? Thanks Herve Lhuguenot
What do you think about HCS12X from Motorola ?

Codewarrior can talk to a monitor routine on the HC12 via a serial port, but it can't reliably establish a connection if the user program messes things up too badly, so I'm eagerly waiting the arrival of the USB pod to create a more hardware debug interface (and free up the PC serial port for debugging serial application code). The price is also quite nice, compared to the USB pods for some other devices (for sticker shock, check out a USB 510 JTAG pod for a TI DSP!) Also, the serial monitor option only works if you have a way to get the serial monitor program into the on-chip flash - such as it already being there when you bought the eval board.
