MC9S08GT or GB standalone programming.

We have quite a few products which use the MC68HC705C8 micro from
Freescale. We are deciding to move to the MC9S08 to keep the changes
minor and to keep existing software working.  It took less than a day
to modify the HC05 tools to assemble correct S08 code.

The problem is the production programming. Right now we release
"master eproms" that the techs can use to program the HC705. This is
nice as it keeps computers off the line and cuts down on production
mistakes. Only one prom is on the line at a time.

I have been googling all over the web looking for an equivalent
system to connect to the BDM port MC9S08.  It doesn't look like it
would be too hard to design one, but we'd rather buy.

We can find plenty of tools from PE Micro and others-- most of which
require connection to a computer to set up or use.

Our programming rate is pretty low, never more than about 100 per
week.

Any one make something like this? 

I not against changing the way we do our work, but small changes are
better.

TIA,

Hi,

The only way to program 9S08 is the BDM.

So, several solutions for you :
- One by one, with one BDM pod...
- More than one BDM pod in // on the same PC, on different USB port (you can 
open multi windows of HIWAVE.EXE),
- Build your own multi BDM tool.

Take a look at this standalone programmer.
You download your code first, then you can disconnect computer.
You start flashing device cycle with a simple button .
