Parts and getting started with M68KIT91DP256

[maestro1024]

Hello,

I am new to embedded development. I found a M68KIT91DP256 and am wanting to see if I can do anything with it. The CD I have is the CodeWarrior development studio for Motorola HC(s)12 version 3.1. This is only the IDE? This is the only CD I see am I missing some CDs? Is there a seperate compiler?

When I try to use the IDE I started a simple hello world type file and when I try to compile it or make it nothing appears to happen. What should I do to get a simple project up and running?

Thanks

What you want to do is use the New Project wizard under the File menu and build an example project. Don't make an empty project at this stage, as you need to understand more of what's involved with library files and settings first. Build the example, and confirm that you've got it working. Notice all of those files in the Project windwo? Those are the libraries, source files, and header files you need to get the program to execute on the MCU. Now you can start adding your own code to the main.c file. There should also be some example projects on the CD that you can experiment and figure out to access the MCU's features and board peripherals. HTH.
