SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT
Software development requires the use of a compiler or an assembler supporting the
HCS12(X) instruction set and a host PC running a debug interface. CodeWarrior Development
Studio is supplied with this board for application development and debug.
supporting CodeWarrior documentation for details on use and capabilities.
DEVELOPMENT SUPPORT
Application development and debug for the target TWR-S12 board is supported through the
Open-Source Background Debug Mode (OSBDM) interface or an external BDM interface
connector. The OSBDM is fully supported in CodeWarrior and provides direct, non-intrusive
access to the target device internals. While in BDM mode, no internal resources are used.
Code stepping and break-points are fully supported.
Connection between a host PC and the target device is provided via a mini-B, USB connector.
The OSBDM is capable of providing power to the target board eliminating the need for external
power. Please note that power supplied by the OSBDM is limited by the USB specification.
When powered through the OSBDM, total current draw, including the OSBDM, TWR-S12
board, and Tower System must remain less that 500mA. Otherwise, the USB bus will cause
the host PC to disconnect the board. Damage to the host PC, target board, or Tower System
may result if this current limit is violated.
