Classic - How to use HCS12 on Eclipse? -build and debug a CodeWarrior project- Valid for some Classic versions - CW for MCU V6.x, CW for HC12 V5.1, etc ... Configuration used: Software Native installation Win 7 Enterprise 64 bit CodeWarrior HC12 v5.1 CodeWarrior for MCU V10.6.4 (Updates 5&6) Hardware S12XDT512 Multilink Universal rev B Introduction Since 2010 we started to move our development tool chains from Classic IDE to Eclipse. However we continue to use classic tools for some products as CW for HC12 V5.x for HCs12 devices. The advantage of HC12 is that all features are used in command line in the IDE. So we can use another IDE than CodeWarrior IDE as Eclipse for instance. This doc will show you how to: - Create a new project using CW HC12 build tools chain, - Define the external debugger to debug the HC12 application. Attached you will find: - a zip file including the projects. Recommend to unzip it to c:\temp, - 2 videos explaining Build and Debug processes. More references/information can be found at: https://community.freescale.com/message/364157#364157 http://mcuoneclipse.com/2012/02/13/make-my-make-with-eclipse-and-mcu10/ NOTE: For Classic versions using integrated debugger, only the build operation can be done under Eclipse. When the debugger is not available as standalone version there is no way to define an External Tools in Eclipse. Phase 1: Create a Project under Eclipse based on a HC12 project 1- Create a project for the device you need under HC12 v5.1. 2- Launch Eclipse and create a new empty project File ¦ New ¦ Other … Enable Show All Wizards and select the C Project (which is otherwise hidden), pressing Next. Click OK Specify the project name, select an Empty Project under Makefile project with — Other Toolchain — and press Finish: Now I have an empty project Using Project ¦ Properties specify my Build Command: ${system:ECLIPSE_HOME}/../gnu/bin/mingw32-make -j6 3- Copy all HC12 V5.1 Sources and config files to Eclipse project 4- Create a makefile with the menu File ¦ New ¦ Other... ¦ General ¦ File Phase 2: Build the project using HC12 build tools chain with makefile 1- Generate the Commandlines used by HC12 v5.1 to build the project. By this way you will have the options and other paths used for compiler and linker to build the project. We can use these information to create the makefile. 2- Create the makefile with the menu menu File ¦ New ¦ Other... ¦ General ¦ File An empty makefile is created. You need to create your makefile according to your project. For more details we recommend to refer to the link: http://mcuoneclipse.com/2012/02/13/make-my-make-with-eclipse-and-mcu10/ This is the makefile created for this example. The makefile created contains 2 operations: all -> build the project and generate Srecord files clean -> remove all generated files 3- Create 2 make targets for all and clean operations with the "Make Target" under Window ¦ show View Now I can build the project using HC12 v5.1 tools (compiler/Linker) under Eclipse project Phase 3: Add External debugger to debug hc12 application HC12 V5.1 is using an external debugger named Hiwave. This tool is using a config file named .ini. To use HiWave under Eclipse project, we need to define it as external Debugger. By the Run menu click on External Tools ¦ External Tools Configuration… Run will launch the Debugger and the project.ini file will be generated in the \Bin folder You can edit the ini file and use the info provided in the .ini file of HC12 V5.1 project To use these settings, add the Arguments: project.abs -w -Target=icd12 -Prod=project.ini Now the debugger is launched and application loaded on board with Multilink Interface.
