Hi,

I would like to know which output file (.abs or .s19) of codewarrior project can be used to burn in microcontroller flash. What is the purpose of .s19 file that I find in my project folder?

Thanks and Regards

Hello santhoshmathoor.
In all of the programmers that I've used for Freescale micros the *.s19 file is the one used by the programmer to program your part. Other files, *.abs & *.map, etc., may be used by the debugger program.

Hello Glork,

Thank you for the reply.

As a beginner I would like to know if my idea regarding .s19 files is correct - "A single .s19 file is generated for the entire project which can be used to burn the EPROM "

Also can you please suggest some links(reference) where I can get an overview about .s19 and .abs files on context of burining code into EPROM.

Thanks again

Hi,

Here is a link for stuff about S19:

You are correct, the S19 file contains all of the bytes that need to be burnt.

It can skip over unused areas as the address to burn is at the begining of each line.
