Problem loading .abs file with P&E Multi and MC13213

[DSweet]

Hi, I have just started using an MC13213 mcu with a P&E HCS08/HCS12 usb multilink pod. I am having difficulties loading my .abs file into the mcu using the hiwave debugger through the p&e device. When it begins running the programming script, it runs these commands:

Loading programming algorithm ... Done. (FCDIV=$CA)

CMD>EM
Erasing. Module has been erased.

CMD>PM
Programming and Verifying Address $0182C

... at this point it just stalls. It doesn't produce an error, and says its running the programming script, but it never finishes. I get the same results if I use the Expert Mode Programmer to exectue these commands individually. I didn't have a problem loading a simple small test program, but with my current larger project I can't get around this problem. Any ideas? Let me know if you need any other info. Thanks

I have two educated guesses for you.

1) How big is your program? Could it be too big for the available memory?

2) What MCU does the Hiware Simulator/Debugger display? (The value is located in the right portion of the status bar on bottom of this program's window.) If that value doesn't match the part that you're targeting, you can get sporadic behavior like what you've seen.
