Hello,

Using the BDM programmer (Softec's InDart HCS12 tooling) , my S12X device arrived in secured state, probably due to a supply dip during the programming sequence.
Consequently we cannot download code anymore to its internal flash.
Does anyone know if there is an easy way to unsecure the device using the debugger ?

many thanks in advance.

There is a utility describing this in the download area

The device protection is controlled by the FLASH location $7F_FF0F which determines the MCU secure state at reset. The first two ls-bits of that byte must be set to "10" (binary) to leave the protection off. If the protection gets activated, the only possible BDM command is a MASS-ERASE. inDART always programs this location to "0xFE" as long as the user leaves it empty.
