Hi everyone!
I'm pretty new to Freescale, and have never worked with their MCU's before, but a problem that came to me gave me no choice;
I accidentally fried an MC9S12C64 MCU yesterday. I'm experienced with SMD soldering, so I have decided to remove and solder a new unit to my board:
I also have the firmware / .s19 file that is supposed to be loaded to the MCU, but as far as I have noticed, this is impossible to upload via ie. RS232 without a bootloader stored in the MCU memory or a BDM unit. The actual firmware /.s19 is supposed to be loaded via the RS232 through an automated .bat-file, but this won't work with a blank MCU straight off the shelf.
I recon I would start off buying a USBDM programmer. Would this one work - It seem like good value to me for a one-time repair job:
Freescale Debugger Programmer for RS08 HCS08 HCS12 Coldfire V1 BDM Isolator | eBay
Now what? I got the MCU, the USBDM and the .s19 file / complete firmware.
Where do I go from here? In the firmware.zip there is also a SerialMonitor.DEF-file that looks like this:
; $Id: S12SerMon2r1.def,v 1.4 2010-10-01 00:32:46 jsmcortina Exp $
C64:
.equ EEpromStart, 0x0000 ;eeprom start (no EEprom)
.equ EEpromEnd, 0x0000 ;eeprom End
.equ RamStart, 0x3000 ;first RAM location
.equ FlashBlks, 0x01 ;# of flash blks
.equ SectorSize, 0x0400 ;Flash sector size
.equ LowestPage, 0x3C ;lowest page
.equ PagesBlk, 0x04 ;pages per block
Is it enough to upload this file using ie. the USBDM unit mentioned above to get the uC ready for uploading the firmware via RS232?
How do i upload using the USBDM and what software do you recommend?
I know that I might have missed out on a lot of information, but I need to start somewhere, right?
Thank you.
