Newbies: How program without debug?

[Ciccio]

Hi,
I use MC9S08AW32CFU.
My program work but the frequency is wrong: theory interrupt is 1ms, really is it at 1,16ms.

I want try to program only, without use debug mode.
I have start Expert Mode Program and I have selected myfile.s19 for the module.
I have program but the micro dont work!
It work only in debug mode: I can program only with binary file? .s19 or .abs? It's possible?
Thanks

Ciao Ciccio,

I don't know why you are not able to program your MC9S08AW32 if not in debug mode. Surely some mistake on procedure: perhaps a comparison with the test program for DEMO9S08AW60 board may help.

But it may be simpler to answer why your timing is incorrect. For some unknown reason, at least in the past, the P&E programmer did not correctly trim MC9S08AWxx chips while programming the flash memory. The problem derived from an improper setting of the setup program file: it was present on Codewarrior 3.1, 5.0 and 5.1.  You had to patch this file and the trimming would have worked.

This was discussed on this thread:

and here is the resolutive patch:

I hope this may help you.

Thanks and by!

Hi Ciccio,

Glad you found the solution to your problem.

As for the "Expert mode programmer". Be aware that programming your device by going to the dubugger from Codewarrior is pretty much the same as using the so-called "Expert" mode. All the debugger does is automate the process for you. Using "Expert" mode just gives you more control.

But if you feeding it an incomplete personality file in both cases then both modes will fail equally miserably.

I don't think the thread pointed to by Alban has a lot of relevance here. I think he had trouble understanding what you were trying to say originally, I know I did!

[Alban]

Well, just say it Peg, I'm miserable ...

I'll go back to my manuals!

Now, now Alban, I would never say that!

Although full marks to encoder for not only figuring out the problem from the OP BUT also providing the answer!

(Must be some secret Italian code in there somewhere)

Hello & Welcome,

A lot of suggestions can be found in QG8 stand alone problem,please help, among other threads.

Please try and come back to the board.

Cheers,

Alban.
