Dear Jim,
From all that I've read about this subject, it seems that NOICE software works ok with FDTI, the problem is that CW does not work well with the ANY converter.
It seems Freescale considers HC08 as a legacy family so keep working on these tools is a matter of time. What looks ironic to me is that all current 08s that work on USB are from HC family.
For me one of the big problems with the current tool, Multilink USB, wich I purchased some, resides in the fact that is a closed tool, e.g. you cannot change the xtal frequency and for some "high" speed serial baud rates in some applications, it simply does not work because you cannot set the correct BR. So I have to use an ancient PC because they have a real serial port.
So, that is my perception: we are using a legacy family but we can't use S08 because USB is not supported.
Do I need a shrink?
Regards,
Celso
