Abatron BDI1000, CW 4.6 and 9S12XEP100

[NotADog]

When I start the debugger (Abatron BDI) I get "The connected device PARTID/SDID (0xCC91) is not registered in the debugger core file. Do you want to select the device from a list ?". I can do this, and select the S12XEP100. The debugger then operates correctly.

Is there a patch/update available to cure this problem (ie part not registered in debugger) ?

The part ID (0xCC91) is correct for the part/mask I am using, according to the data sheet page 41 (MC9S12XEP100RMV1 Rev 1.15 01/2008).

Part: PC9S12XEP100MAL, mask 1M48H
CW Dev Studio IDE 5.7.0 build 2211
Installed products are:
CW Dev Studio for HCS12(X) v4.6 build 6345, v4.6.1 patch, v4.6.2 patch, v4.6.3 patch, compiler v5.0.33 build 7324, CW Dev Studio HC12 v4.6 HCS12X EP100 Service Pack build 070523
Debugger is version 6.1 build 6345.

Unfortunately the updater will not run behind the company firewall (I have the same problem with Adobe Acrobat Reader updater).

I have searched the Freescale/Codewarrior website for updates, and I think I have the latest 9S12EXP100 service pack and compiler/IDE updates available. There don't seem to be any specifically for the debugger (ie, comes as part of the IDE).

It seems that, although the debugger knows about and will work with the 9S12XEP100, it does not recognise the 1M48 mask part ID (it would probably recognise one of the other mask set part IDs which can also refer to the 9S12XEP100, but I don't have any chips with other masks to try this out).

Hello

Extract from the {Install}\Release_Notes\HC12\Notes_debugger_bdik.txt:

"-unregistered device PARTID leads to temporary selection by derivative list. However, this temporary selection cannot be saved into project and a service pack upgrade should be requested."

So it looks like you need to submit a service request asking for a service pack allowing to save the selected derivative when debugging with BDI box.

According to my understanding the service pack is not available right now and we still need to create it. We need to know that there are customers out there interested in that feature.

I would recommend you to submit a service request to ask for that.

I think the release notes mean that a service pack upgrade can be requested to include the PARTID as a *registered* PARTID, and that (separate statement) selections due to unregistered PARTIDs are not saved with projects.

I've logged a service request and we'll see what happens.

A related question: does anyone know which 9S12XEP100 masks work with the debugger without this problem ? (so that I can try to obtain a different mask as an alternative solution).


thanks,

Chris.

CodeWarrior comes with a CodeWarrior Updater applcation. It's usually available froom the Start menu, along with the CodeWarrior IDE choice. Try running that and see if it finds any updates. If it does, then you can have it download and install them. If it says that there are no updates, then the problem is somewhere else.
