9S08AW32 Newbie Question - Where to Start

[Jack8421]

Hi All,

I'm an electronics engineer by day and an enthusiast veteran Atmel AVR assembler programmer in my spare time. I'd like to master 9S08AW micros and have a couple of questions which you might be kind enough to help with:

1.  Is the following the correct development software for 9S08AW assembler coding ?

     CodeWarrior™ Development Studio for Microcontrollers V6.3

2.  Which is the cheapest programming hardware for 9S08AW ?

Many thanks

Hello, and welcome to the forum.

For non-automotive use, you might use the later MC9S08AC family, rather than the 'AW series.

You might also consider purchasing a demonstration board that already has an on-board USB multilink interface for programming and debug.  The demonstration board is also fitted with a 64-pin socket for the MCU device.  By removal of the onboard device, and the fitting of a suitable lead, external programming and debug is possible.

Regards,

Mac
