MC9S08QE8 External Crystal Setup in PE

aggiemundo — Wed, 25 Mar 2009 10:46:48 GMT

I'm currently trying to generate my initialization code using Processor Expert, and would like to have the ability to use an external crystal to generate a very accurate 57600baud rate on my UART. So far I have been unable to find anywhere in the CPU bean (or any other bean) where I can do this.

I would have expected that I would be able to select an external clock source in the "High Speed Mode->High Speed Clock" dropdown, but it only allows me to select "Internal Clock". What goofy mistake am I making? Thanks!

The property that you searching for is "External Clock" and it is available after unfolding "Clock settings" group.

Yikes, I have no idea how I missed that the first fifty times! Thanks, and terribly sorry for the brain-dead question!
