Flashing a HCS08-Board with the IEEE 802.15.4 Code Stack via bootloader

[fera0013]

I have downloaded the Freescale IEEE 802.15.4 Code Stack and I want to flash the "My_Wireless_app" - Demo Application  to an evaluation board which uses a bootloader (none of the freescale boards). Unfortunately, building of the project doesn't produce a file which can be flashed via bootloader (loader_s19).

Does anyone know which changes I have to make in the project?

Thanks,

Ralph

If I understand you correctly, you have used BeeKit (with the IEEE802.15.4 CodeBase) to produce "My_Wireless_app" demo solution...  if you have not done so already you need to do the following:

 - Export Solution ("Solution" Menu -> "Export Solution")

 - Import ".xml" solution into CodeWarrior ("File" Menu -> "Import Project")

 - Compile project

Now (if there were no errors) you have a ".s19" object file to flash your device.

Thanks for your answer, but that wasn't my problem: I am able to  built the "My_Wireless_App" without any error. But since I use a board which can only be flashed via the embedded bootloader, I can not flash the  demo application to the board.
My question is: What do I have to change in the project (settings etc.)  to built an .s19 file which can be flashed via bootloader?

Hi fera0013,

in the menu edit you could find projectName settings..., click on it and you will see a window with the settings  of the project. In this window select Linker for HC08 (in the left pannel) and after Option. You will see a menu in wich you could choose Output and after mark the flag Generate a S-record file.

These should be the steps and in the bin folder you should find a S19 file.

thanks, but:
I do have an .s19 file. But I cannot flash an .s19 file  to a HC08 with an embedded bootloader. To do that, I have to make some changes in the project. And I want to know, what I have to change.

Sorry, but from the previous mail I didn't understand that you always had a .s19 file.

Now, the question is: what kind of bootloader are you using? I suppose you are using the embedded bootloader provided with the test tool (correct me if I'm wrong).

If this is the situation, so, in the menu edit you could find projectName settings..., click on it and you will see a window with the settings  of the project. In this window select Compiler for HC08  (in the left pannel) and in the command line arguments you can add -DBOOTLOADER_ENABLED (is something like a define in the main program).

But, if you have doubts, you could read the 802154EBRM.pdf, this is the reference manual for the embedded bootloader.

I tried to download the test tool from this location:

http://www.freescale.com/webapp/sps/site/prod_summary.jsp?code=BEEKIT_WIRELESS_CONNECTIVITY_TOOLKIT&...
under the name Beekit Wireless Connectivity ToolKit. But for some reason, it does not install any test tool on the PC.

Does anyone know where to find the test tool for 1321xNSK-BDM?

Thanks.

Hi exub,

the Beekit can be downloaded from Freescale Site, but the TesTool comes within the Cd of the development boards.
I looked for the TesTool in the net but I wasn't able to find it. If you get it, please keep me update in this thread.
