programming HCS08s with CW 5.1

[baddad]

Is there a way to launch the programmer in CW 5.1 without using the debugger?

Thanks,

BadDad

Hi BadDad,

Other modules can be run independantly, but as the programmer is sold as a standalone product by P&E I believe they have deliberately prevented you from doing this.

Hello Peg,

I thought it was possible to run burner.exe as a stand-alone utility - and seem to be able to do so.  Are there other problems that occur once the program is running?

Hi Mac,

Yes you can run burner.

But what exactly can it burn and through what interface?

This question is about S08!

I have never really looked into this thing properly.

Hello

burner.exe cannot be used to program flash.

This utility has been designed to convert an ELF DWARF executable file to a S record or Intel Hex file.

The burmer does not include any flash programming algorithm.

If you are looking for a production flash programming tool, I would also recommend using P&E or Softec production flash programming tools.

This mainly depends on the connection cable you are using for debugging.

Hi CrasyCat

From the Burner Help:

The burner utility has:

• Powerful User Interface

• On-line Help

• Flexible Message Management

• 32bit Application

• Generation of S-Record files, Binary or Intel Hex files

• Splitting up application into different EEPROMS (1, 2 or 4 bytes bus width)

• Both interactive (GUI) and batch language interface (Batch Burner)

• Batch Burner Language with:baudRate, busWidth, CLOSE, dataBit, destination, DO, ECHO, ELSE, END, FOR, format, header, IF ,len, OPENCOM, OPENFILE, origin, parity, PAUSE, SENDBYTE, SENDWORD, SLINELEN, SRECORD, swapByte, THEN, TO , undefByte.

• Supports Freescale (former Hiware) and ELF/DWARF Object File Format, S-Records and Intel Hex Files as input

• Supports a serial programmer attached to serial port with various configuration settings

• Powerful batch burner language with various commands (fillByte, origin, destination, range, baudRate, header, ...)

What is the "serial programmer" that it supports then?

Hello

   This is a legacy feature.

   The serial programmer referenced there was for programming through an EPROM programmer.

  As far as I know burner is not used that way any more since a long time.

  The burner does not include any flash programmer algorithm.

Dears,

maybe this thread may be of your interest - it's about using HIWAVE (and P&E DLLs) in command line for burning:

I actually have never tried it...
