The Loader2Go™ software component contains the core functionality of a bootloader. It builds on top of the functionality in the Cal2Go™ and Driver2Go™ software components. When combining these three software components you end up with a fully functional bootloader. Using the files distributed together with this application note you can try out the Loader2Go™ based bootloader for free to determine if it fits your needs.

This application note demonstrates how the Cal2Go™ software component is used on a Freescale HCS12 microcontroller to allow calibration activities. The Cal2Go™ software component implements the XCP protocol so that a microcontroller using this software component can be calibrated by a software tool that also uses the XCP protocol. The software examples distributed together with this application note can be used as a template for all your software programs that should contain calibration functionality.

This user friendly programmer's editor is packaged together with the GNU GCC compiler for the HC11-12. It includes a project wizard, syntax highlighting, code completion and several example applications.

The examples presented in this application note include a free Driver2Go™ library, integrated together with the popular FreeRTOS operating system. These examples can be easily reused to form the foundation of your own HCS12 projects.

This application note describes a tool that allows the validation of source code written in the C language using Matlab/Simulink. Included is an S-Function library that hides the complexity of the interface to Matlab/Simulink.

The goal of this application note is to help you get started with software development for your Freescale HCS12 family microcontroller using the Metrowerks CodeWarrior development environment.

This document describes software coding conventions for the C programming language that we use for our embedded software projects. If these conventions fit your needs, feel free to use them.
