P&E Multilink for Binary only

rdazcal — Wed, 09 Jun 2010 03:01:09 GMT

Greetings,

I use the P&E Multilink to program and debug my apps in the HCS08LC60 MCU.

In the factory, we use the P&E Cyclone Pro to program only the binaries.

I need to send a program update to a client who has only the P&E Multilink programmer. What do I have to do to send him only the binary code so he can use the Multilink to program it? Is that possible? Does CW supports that feature?

Thank you very much

Hi,

I haven't used binary code programmer for decade's, but if I remember right, find:

file.S19 from your project, it will have binary code of your project

Thank you Fiju,

but my problem is not finding the binary I wish to program... I need a programming interface to enable the Multilink (USB-ML-12E) to program any binary

Hello,

Your user can just run the hiwave component of CW and select the S19 to download.

Or a more idiot proof solution might be to use P&E's CPROG and supply the S19, a script and a batch file.

Thank you peg!

Is the P&E CPROG a free software from PEMICRO? Or do I have to purchase it?

All I could find in the PEMICRO site is the PROGHCS08 program, but it costs $169,00!!

I thought about using the hiwave component of CW... but first of all, my client would have to install CW, and than I would have to come up with some way to explain to him how to load the binary code I am giving him... it seems too complicated... there must be a simpler way...

Hello,

It is a very complicated process for someone not familiar to use CW to do this.

I think CPROG, the command line version, comes with the package you mention. Yes you have to buy it!

Using CPROG you can batch it all up so it is all done with a click.

The software and drivers etc will still need to be installed of course.

I guess if it is too expensive you could always go on-site and do it yourself.
