MAC ADDRESS PRODUCTION PHASE

ITZI — Fri, 27 Oct 2006 14:43:13 GMT

Hello,

I use the HCS08GT60 micrcontroller. I would like to know which is the best tool to write down the MAC ADRESS in a production phase.

I think Embedded Bootloader is an efficient tool to write the MAC Address manually, but in a production phase maybe there is a tool to do it easily due to MAC Addresses are continuos (MAC Address1= MAC Address0+1).

Thanks.

Hi ITZI,

As the S08GT does not have any networking built in, I presume you are attaching something externally and then require to hard code a unique MAC address in to each units MCU flash.

Am I correct?

If this is the case and the MAC address is 16 bytes or less you could use P&E's Serialize utility.

Thanks David!

I would like to explain better what I try to do.

I have built a ZigBee module with HCS08GT60(44pin) and the MC13193.

I have programmed it with the Codewarrior 3.1 IDE by the BDM multilink , but the MAC address is randomly generated (as I though).

I woul like to make this module a product, and so I buy MAC addresses,.

I would like to know which tools I need to write in each module its unique MAC address by a serialized way.

Best Regards,

Itzi

Hi Itzi,

With the MAC group you'll get you can use the solution advised by Peg without any worry !

It can increment each time the MAC address to store int he device, like a serial number.

Cheers,

Alban.

Thanks Alban!!!

I have some problems.

I downloaded the prog08sz.exe (I think this is the suitable for the HCS08GT60 MCU, isn´t it?), but I am not be able to connect the program with the target.

Can I use the BDM HCS08/HCS12 multilink? If so, which class have I to select to connect the target?

Kind Regards,

Itziar

Hello Itziar,

My understanding is that the free down-loaded program prog08sz.exe from the P&E website can only program HC08 devices. For HCS08, I believe you would need to purchase a different version from P&E.
