GETTING STARTED
The Axiom CMD-12DP512 single board computer is a fully assembled, fully functional
development system for the Freescale MC9S12DP512 microcontroller. Provided with wall plug
power supply, Serial cable, USB cable, and accessories. Support software for this
development board is provided for Windows 95/98/NT/2000/XP operating systems. Additional
compatible peripherals such as LCD display or keypad are available from Axiom as the HC-
LCD and HC-KP respectfully. Lab kits are also available for different functions, contact Axiom
or refer to the
www.axman.com
web site – educational pages for more details.
The 68HC12 support CD provided with the kit contains additional documentation, utility
software, drawings, and software examples. The CD should be browsed to review all content.
In each content folder on the CD will be a folder or directory named for the development board
that has specific content. Published Utility software will also be found such as AxIDE.
Evaluation or application development may be performed by applying the embedded MON12
firmware monitor with AxIDE3 or with the AxIDE4 integrated compiler and debugger tools. The
CMD-12DP512 board provides an integrated USB connection Background Debug Module
(BDM) for application with AxIDE4. MON12 monitor application provides a serial port
connection for evaluation and/or command line debug methods with AxIDE3. The AxIDE4
software provides a restore operation to reload the MON12 monitor if required.
The MON12 monitor is provided in the development board HCS12 internal flash memory by
default when shipped. Monitor operation applies some HCS12 memory resources and requires
a serial port connection for operation. See the MON12 User Manual for details on operation
and resources applied. To apply AxIDE3 with the CMD-12DP512 MON12 firmware, the CML-
12DP256 target board should be selected. The primary utility software referred to in this user
manual will be AxIDE4 which provides the USB connection and C compiler tools.
Development board users should also be familiar with the hardware and software operation of
the target M9S12DP512 MCU device, refer to the Freescale User Guides for the device and
the CPU12 Reference Manual for software details. The development board purpose is to
assist the user in quickly developing an application with a known working environment or to
provide an evaluation platform for the target HCS12. Users should be familiar with memory
mapping, memory types, and embedded software design for the fastest successful application
development.
AxIDE4 application with the BDM connection allows all resources of the HCS12 to be applied
by the user’s application. Application development is Windows based with views of registers,
memory, and source codes available. Building object code, loading the board, and managing
the execution of the application are mouse click operations. Compiler tools are built with the
GNU open source C compiler and assembler. Simple text based files control many features of
the IDE and target. Easy editor launching allows modification of any source or control file for
quick changes. Refer to the AxIDE4 software user manuals and help for details.
Follow the steps in this section to get started quickly and verify everything is working correctly.
