What CodeWarrior version to use DEMO9S08QG8 board?

[swimdisplay]

Am reinstalling after a disk crash.  I was using an old version of CodeWarrior.

I would like to program an HC9S08 via a DEMO9S08QG8 board.

What would be the best CW version to use?

How do I configure it to attach to the target?

Thank you.

Thank you Fiona.  What worked for me was to use CW v10.6, and then update the BDM driver from http://www.pemicro.com/downloads/download_file.cfm?download_id=301

We have two CodeWarrior tools that support 9S08QG8.

1) Classic CodeWarrior v6.3

It can be downloaded from:

http://www.freescale.com/webapp/sps/site/prod_summary.jsp?code=CW-MICROCONTROLLERS

It is a 32-bit application, and not compatible with Windows 7

2) Eclipse CodeWarrior v10.6

This version fully supports Windows 7 & 8. It can be downloaded from:

http://www.freescale.com/webapp/sps/site/prod_summary.jsp?code=CW-MCU10

By default, we would recommend CodeWarrior v10.6 since it is the latest version.

For how to connect the target in CodeWarrior,  please refer to its help document.

Thank you Fiona.  Indeed CodeWarrior v10.6 builds the image okay. but does not offer any way to flash the DEMO9S08QG8 board.

[TICS_Fiona]

To program an image file in CW10.6 IDE, you may create a Target Task for flash programmer, or use the 'Flash File to Target' feature.

For details, please view the section <Debugger->Flash Programmer> in v10.6 FAQ Guide:

C:\Freescale\CW MCU v10.6\MCU\Help\PDF\Microcontrollers_FAQ_Guide.pdf

To use it as a standalone tool, please see below for how to do it:

Here is CodeWarrior Flash Programming from a DOS Shell

In addition, you can also use the external hiwave.exe inside CodeWarrior v10.6, for how to do it, please view the section <Debugger->Miscellaneous->How can I configure and launch an external tool or debugger?> in:

C:\Freescale\CW MCU v10.6\MCU\Help\PDF\Microcontrollers_FAQ_Guide.pdf
