Processor Expert - What is the correct use of a *.s User Module?

[carloscuevas]

Hello, I really like the way Processor Expert uses User Modules, when you create a *.c user module it automatically creates it's *.h but theres one user module that can be created, it's the *.s User Module. Whats the correct use of a *.s file? What kind of data can be stored there? if *.s means Source, whats the difference between a .c and a .s?

I know we can use any extension we like to store code ans simple include it with #include, but I want to use each thing in the correct way.

Hello,

the *.s file extension is currently offered within "User modules" pop-up menu for Coldfire derivatives. Files with this extension are dedicated for assembly language. For more details
about "File Mappings" in PE and in CW please see "Target setting" window (ALT+F7).

Hello

- Which CPU are you targeting (HC08, HC12, Coldfire, ..)
- Which version of CodeWarrior are you using?
To retrieve that info:
- Start CodeWarrior
- Select Help -> About Freescale CodeWarrior
- Click on "Install Products"
- CodeWarrior version used is displayed on top in the Installed Products dialog.
