Hello, my name is mike, and in january I will be taking a course on the 68hc11. I was hoping to get a handle on it before i head back to school. If anyone can direct me to anywhere i can go to get understand the workings of the hc11, mostly the assemby directives, and where beginners can go to possible do some simple simulation programs that would be great. I have a copy of the hc11 reference manual and have skimmed through it, but alot of the info is either over my head, or i find doesnt give enough detail. I'm looking for a "writing hc11 programs for dummies: sorta thing. thanks alot Mike |

There are no shortcuts in education. 'Read and try it out' in an endless loop. Assembler directives differ among assemblers. They are not directly related to the HC11. Did you mean the assembly language mnemonics? These should be in the HC11 Reference. First step is to understand the hardware, then if you've done any programming, it should be relatively easy to cope. If you're completely new to hardware architecture maybe you wait for your course to begin. If you're also new to programming maybe you should take another course first. Free simulators are plenty. My preference is Shadow11 (and not because it uses my assembler). It is the closest thing to the true development cycle (edit, assemble, simulate) from a single program. It has the feel of high-level language debugging tools. It's not very good at simulating all peripherals but I think you're currently interested in the language, and for that, it's best. > Mike |

While you are at it, read up on the HC12. It is the modern upgrade for the
about out of date HC11. The HC12 has a very similar architecture and instuction
set but also has additional instructions and peripherals which modernize the
processor. I is also much better equiped to handle high level languages such as
C. Then you can impress your professor with your knowledge. Maybe even get him to upgrade into the 21st century.
