Getting started with MC9S12XDP512

BJA — Fri, 12 Oct 2007 11:33:15 GMT

Hi,

I have been trying to work with the MC9S12XDP512 (AdaptS12X) mcu module. I purchased this module from technologicalarts. I wrote a simple program - in assembly- to make Port PA7 high. This port is connected in series with a resistor and a diode. So when it goes high, the diode will be on. When I load the program using codewarrior, nothing happens ( There are also no errors generated). I've also tried using ubug12x to load the s19 file generated by codewarriror onto the module. It keeps giving an flash/eeprom error. I was told to convert the s19 file from codewarrior which is banked to a linear one and then tried to load it. This procedure gave me "Index was outside the bounds of the array" error and sometimes an unkonwn error. I have pasted a copy of my *.asm file.

I need help getting started!!!!!!!!

There are several problems:

First, you misunderstand the mask definitions for port and data direction registers in mc9s12xdp512.inc. They indicate the bit number in the byte, useful in some cases to assist the programmer in creating self-documenting code. Your code is:
            BSET DDRAB_DDRA7, #%00000001
            BSET PORTA_PA7, #%00000001

To use bit masks, it should be more like this (note the "m" prefix):
            BSET DDRAB, #mDDRAB_DDRA7
            BSET PORTAB, #mPORTAB_PA7

But the definitions for PORTAB and DDRAB are meant to be used with Word instructions, allowing you to set parameters of both PortA and PortB simultaneously. For byte operations (such as the BSET instruction), you should use the byte-oriented PORTA and DDRA designations instead. However, my advice to you is to take advantage of the existing user LED on PortP (PP7). That will eliminate any chance of mis-counting pin numbers on the header or wiring errors on your part when hooking up your LED. Also, bit masks and BSET instructions are tricky for beginners. There's no harm in defining the entire port as outputs and setting all the bits high. In that case, the correct code would be:
            MOVB #$FF, DDRP
            MOVB, #$FF, PORTP

(By the way, there's a similar problem using bit masks with the two MOVB instructions that follow in your code. I suggest you just use the CLR instruction: CLR DDRJ, followed by CLR PORTJ).

Secondly, you are not using a BDM pod, therefore you must rely on the Serial Monitor to load your program into Flash. The Serial Monitor resides in the top 2K of flash, in a protected block. This block is also where the vectors reside (e.g. Reset Vector). The Serial Monitor implements a User Vector Table, just below the protected Flash block, to deal with this issue. Therefore you must change the ORG directive at the end of your program to $F7FE. The way it is now, your resulting s-record file references an address in the protected Flash block, so you get the "can't write Flash/EEPROM" error in uBug12X.

The complete CW project for the demo program for this board (in assembler) can be found at
http://support.technologicalarts.ca/docs/Adapt9S12X/Code/S12XCWDemo.rar
It's a good place to start (i.e. modifying a "known-good" working program).
An App Note for using CW with this board can be found at:
http://support.technologicalarts.ca/docs/Adapt9S12X/Using%20CodeWarrior%20Assembler%20with%20Adapt9S12XD%20and%20Serial%20Monitor.pdf

I suggest you use uBug12X to load the demo, to get some experience with uBug12x. The modified version of the demo s19 file, with UserVectors to work with the Serial Monitor, can be found at:
http://support.technologicalarts.ca/docs/Adapt9S12X/Code/s12xSM-demo.s19
Ignore the "out of bounds error" and you'll find that it has loaded and runs when you switch to Run and press Reset. Use a terminal program set to 115Kbaud, and press <ENTER> to interact with the demo menu.

Carl,

Do you know how I could change the ORG directive in C/C++? Better yet, do you know how I could talk straight to my MCU with codewarrior. Right now dowloading code to my board is a three step process. Firstly, I compile the code with codewarrior, then I use the sreccvt to convert the s19 file from banked to linear, then I use MiniIde to talk to the MCU through a BDM pod.
