Codewarrior V3.1 for HC08 devices - Download?

[Sparks]

I've just been sent a project for the HC08 family that was written for V3.1 - however the import procedure seems to be functioning incorrectly as there is no support for the Motorola IF board that we have here - the settings from 3.1 to 5.0 are not converting correctly.

So..... does anyone know where I can get the SE download of the V3.1 edition as that will short circuit the problem and I should be able to get the device programmed in circuit immediately using that method.

Any help would be appreciated - have a little bit of tech knowledge but not an infinite amount

Problem solved!

Thank you to Freescale for making 3.1 available to me via Transweb.

You can't successfully load and build the 3.1 image into 5.1 - there are inherent problems with it - that's why you have to do the export procedure as outlined in the addendum document.

Problems are though - the SE license for 3.1 restricts you to 1K of code where the 5.1 allows 16K - there is a way around that but you need to get one of the old license files from the metrowerks 3.1 free version - that works fine with the larger code size.

Anyway - got the 3.1 version and the edition for larger code sizes and it worked immediately - also note that 5.1 has much less immediate support for other forms of burners for the flash system - 3.1 has a greater range of immedate choices available

Thanks again for the support and your response

As an update to the last post - I understand that the problem is the need to export a 3.1 file from a 3.1 system then to import it into the 5.0.

At the moment I can open the file with 5.0 and program the flash in the MCU (908JB16) which all verifies - but the code is not functioning (USB keyboard device) correctly and I think that something in the conversion process has corrupted the code.  Anyway - any thoughts - I would appreciate the 3rd party input if anyone is familiar with similar problems encountered along the way.

Hello,

If the project you have been sent has already been compiled and linked using CW 3.1, and the only requirement is for you to program the HC08 device, as you seem to be indicating, you shouldn't need to convert the project to do this.  If this is the situation, and the code is not functioning correctly, this would suggest that there is a program bug, or perhaps even a hardware problem.

If an .S19 file has been supplied, you might try programming the device using the P&E PROG08SZ utility, as an independent check of the operability of the code and hardware.
