Abstract:

Metrowerk's Codewarrior tool suite provides a set of tools and utilities for MC9S12DP256 software development. While Metrowerk's documentation adequately covers the installation and general use of their tools for the MC68HC12 family of microcontrollers, it doesn't adequately cover the specifics of compilation and linking of code modules for execution in the paged memory environment of the MC9S12DP256. While this application note is not a substitute for the documentation provided with the Metrowerks tool set, it attempts to provide the additional details necessary to compile, link and generate an S-Record object code file that can be executed on the MC9S12DP256 using Metrowerk's tools for the M68HC12 family. Be sure to read the Codewarrior documentation to gain an understanding of the compiler, linker and assembler features. This document is not a substitute for the Codewarrior documentation.
