What's in Appendix 2? What you need to get started Installing Metrowerks Instructions for handling the Technological Arts 9S12C32 board Development Procedure Interrupt vectors for the 9S12C32 Web sites for more information.

What you need to get started Software You will need to install Metrowerks CodeWarrior for the 6812. NC12C32SP Development Board Go to the http://www.technologicalarts.com web site and click the University of Texas at Austin link (order NC12C32SP). The 2005 cost is $49.95 plus shipping. This kit includes a 9 VDC unregulated power source, a 9S12C32 CPU module, a docking module with 0.3in male pins, and a standard 9 pin null modem serial cable (TX RX and GND). Protoboard You will need a standard breadboard into which the 9S12C32 docking module plugs. This breadboard will contain your external circuits.

Installing Metrowerks Installing Metrowerks 1) http://www.metrowerks.com/MW/download/default.asp 2) select "CodeWarrior Development Studio for HC12 Microcontrollers" 3) fill in name information email must be correct decide whether or not you want email from Metrowerks 4) Wait for email, should contain these links To download your software, please use the following link: ftp://ftp.metrowerks.com/pub/embedded/HC12/HC(S)12_v3_1.exe To use your software you must have a license key, please use the following link to download one: ftp://ftp.metrowerks.com/pub/embedded/HC12/CW12R31_SElicense.zip 5) Download HC(S)12 v3.1, install 6) Download license, unzip 7) Copy license.bat overwriting existing limited version license This license is available to all educational users 8) Download starter projects from http://www.ece.utexas.edu/~valvano/metrowerks/

Interrupt vectors for the 9S12C32

Some of the interrupt vectors of the 9S12C32 are 0xFFD6 interrupt 20 SCI 0xFFDE interrupt 16 timer overflow 0xFFE0 interrupt 15 timer channel 7 0xFFE2 interrupt 14 timer channel 6 0xFFE4 interrupt 13 timer channel 5 0xFFE6 interrupt 12 timer channel 4 0xFFE8 interrupt 11 timer channel 3 0xFFEA interrupt 10 timer channel 2 0xFFEC interrupt 9 timer channel 1 0xFFEE interrupt 8 timer channel 0 0xFFF0 interrupt 7 real time interrupt 0xFFF6 interrupt 4 SWI software int 0xFFF8 interrupt 3 trap software int 0xFFFE interrupt 0 reset

Board handling instructions 1) Do not insert or remove the board while power is applied. 2) Touch a grounded object before handling CMOS electronics. Try not to touch any exposed wires. 3) To push the docking module into the protoboard, push straight down. 4) Never remove the CPU module from the docking module. THE PINS ON THE CPU MODULE ARE VERY FRAGILE. On the other hand, the male pins on the docking module have been very robust as long as you limit the twisting forces. To remove the docking module from the protoboard pull straight up (or at least pull up a little at a time on each end.) 5) Use and store the system with the docking module plugged into a protoboard (this will reduce the chances of contacting the metal pins tied directly to the 6812 with either your fingers or stray electrical pulses). 6) Do not use the 9S12C32 with any external power sources, other than the supplied wall-wart. In particular, avoid connecting signals to the 6812 that are not within the 0 to +5V range. In particular, voltages less than 0V or greater than +5V will damage the ADC. 7) Do not connect any wires to the pins labeled Vin, DTR, TX, or RX. These pins contain voltages outside the safe 0 to +5V range. Also do not connect to the Reset pin. 8) Label all your pieces (CPU module, docking module, cable, wall wart, and protoboard) with your name. 9) Test the CPU/docking module combination by running some of the example programs found at http://www.ece.utexas.edu/~valvano/metrowerks/ . Good programs to test the system are the Moore FSM and the Simple SCI.

Development Procedure A) To open an existing Metrowerks project 1) Start Metrowerks CW12 3.1 2) Execute File->Open, navigate to an existing *.mcp file, and click "OK"

B) How to configure create a new Metrowerks project 1) Start Metrowerks CW12 3.1 2) Execute File->New, click "Project" Tab select "HC(S)12 New Project Wizard" specify the "Project name" verify its "Location", click "OK"

3) Select the derivative you want to use "MC9S12C32", click "next" 4) Choose the set of languages supported select "C", click "next"

5) Do you want to create a setup for PC-lint select "no", click "next" 6) Select the floating point format supported select "None", click "next"

7) Which memory model should be used? select "Small" click "next" 8) Please choose the connections you want select "Serial Monitor Hardware Debugging" click "Finish"

9) Create or copy program files *.c and *.h place them into the "Sources" directory of your project 10) Add the necessary C files to project click on Sources in the "mcp" window right click and execute "Add Files..." click dot on in the field associated all C source files under the "bug" icon

13) Change compiler/linker options click the right-most toolbar ICON called "Simulator settings" click "Compiler for HC12" choice click "Options" click "Output" tab select "Allocate CONST objects in ROM" and "Generate Listing File"

click "Linker for HC12" choice click "Options" click "Output" tab select "Generate S-Record" and "Generate a map file"

C) How to run Metrowerks on the Real 9S12C32 board Do this once 1) Connect PC-COM1 to the 9S12C32 docking station, 2) Place the Run/Boot switch on the 9S12C32 board in Boot mode 3) Connect power to 9S12C32 docking station. 4) Touch the reset switch on the docking station

For each edit/compile/run cycle for software that does not use SCI 1) In Metrowerks, perform editing to source code 2) In Metrowerks, compile/Link/Load Execute Project->Debug 3) Click the green arrow in the debugger to start. Runs at 24 MHz. For each edit/compile/run cycle for software that does use SCI 1) set the Run/Boot switch to Boot mode, push the reset button on the 9S12C32 docking station 2) execute Project->Debug (compiles and downloads code to 9S12C32) 3) quit MW debugger once programming complete. Quitting the debugger will release the COM port. 4) start a terminal program (like HyperTerminal) specify proper COM port, 19200 bits/sec, no flow control 5) set the Run/Boot switch to Run mode and push the reset button on the 9S12C32 docking station. Runs at 4 MHz. 6) when done, quit terminal program. Quitting the terminal program will release the COM port.
