Development Tools & Utilities:

Loaders/Debuggers:

uBug12 GUI and .NET framework:

UBug12 is a free Windows program that talks to the Serial Monitor loaded onto each NanoCore12 module.  It provides an easy-to-use Graphical User Interface for erasing and programming flash memory in the module.  Simple debugging commands are also implemented.  No matter which language you choose to write your programs in, you’ll need this program to download the resulting s-record files to your module’s program memory.  Most WinXP installations already have the Microsoft .NET framework, so you probably won’t need to install it.

Linux command line tool “hcs12mem”

Karl Lunt's binload utility (DOS)

NoICE12 debugger (Windows)

This powerful debugger can be used with NanoCore12’s on-chip Serial Monitor or with a BDM pod.  Supports C source-level debugging with CodeWarrior, ImageCraft, and SynCode.

 

Assemblers:

AS12 Assembler (DOS)

BASIC Compilers:

SBASIC Compiler (DOS)

C Compilers:

SynCode: Free IDE and GNU C Compiler (Windows)

Code Warrior Special Edition (32K limit; unlimited Asm)

The HCS12/9S12:

An Introduction to Hardware and

Software Interfacing

by Han-Way Huang

This book provides a total solution for learning and teaching embedded system design based on the Motorola HCS12/9S12 microcontroller. Readers will learn step-by-step how to program the HCS12 using both assembly and C languages, as well as how to use such development tools as asmIDE, MiniIDE, GNU C, and EGNU IDE. Supportive examples clearly illustrate all applications of the HCS12 peripheral functions, including parallel port, timer functions, PWM, UART port, SPI, I2C, CAN, on-chip flash and EEPROM programming, external memory expansion, and more. A back-of-book CD contains the source code for all examples in the book, several groups of reusable utility functions, and complimentary freeware development tools for improved learning.
