Hello Joao-BR,
Lundin is talking about physical device programming (and debugging) and you are asking about logical device programming.
Well, in either way, HCS08 is different from HC08, despite using a similar CPU, the HCS08 includes new addressing modes for some instructions, different peripherals and a new (not so new indeed) programming/debugging interface.
If you plan switching to an HCS08 device, I'll have to re-write your application all peripheral registers have different names and work in a different way.
I live in Brazil and own a design house here (in Santa Catarina), maybe we can help you out in migrating from one plataform to another.
Regards,
