TBDML for S12XF CPUs

[gregor]

Dear Forum users,

i tried to use TBDML debugger for S12XF processors but had no luck.

In Codewarrior IDE when i choose e.g. MC9S12XF512 CPU, the TBDML debugger availabilty in the configuration window disappears. Can anybody explain to me why S12XF familiy is not supported by TBDML? Is there a technical matter?  Did anybody had success with debugging S12XF? How?

Thanks in advance,

Gregor

Dear gregor,

TBDML is getting to be pretty old and hasn't had been updated for a while so it's not unreasonable for it not to be supported for new targets.

Haven't tried the XF chip but if you want to be adventurous you can try the following:

• Create a project using the Full Chip Simulator as the target.
• Start the debugger (FCS)
• Choose Component->Set connection
  • Choose TBDML from the target drop-down
  • Ignore any errors that might be caused by the code not having been programmed into the target!
• Exit the debugger(FCS)
• Restart the debugger (it should now use the TBDML target)
• See if it works!

Note: you will only have to change this setting once, provided you don't change the target in the Compiler.

Good luck - please report if it works.

There might also be problems with the speed of the target as TBDML is quite limited.

bye
