Codewarrior 5.1 - Win10 compatibility

[claudio_b]

I' trying to install CW 5.1 on Win10 but the installer tells me that there is a compatibility problem.

Is there a newer installer available?

I'm using the S12GA, so when 2 years ago I installed CW 5.1 I had to add several add-on in order to use that derivative because in the original version there was not such derivative, so I need also those compatible add-on.

Thanks in advance

Diana,

I stopped at your point 5, because "check connection" doesn't work on my pc.

I found the solution with a patch by PEMicro:

PEmicro | Experts in Embedded tools for Flash Programming and Development 

After having followed the instruction I stil had the problem: so I made Windows to search automatically a driver Update for Universal Multilink and after that all is OK.

I think the problem was only a driver issue

Thank you for your help

Hello Claudio,

Unfortunately, CodeWarrior v. 5.1 is not supported by Win10.

There is a possibility to install CodeWarrior v. 5.2 on the Win10 and add the missing derivatives by the procedure below:

How-to Add missing derivatives to CodeWarrior Classic HCS12(X) 5.2 (Unofficial Method) 

The installation link of the CW v. 5.2 can be found on the site below:

 CodeWarrior® Dev Tools for HCS12(X) MCUs | NXP 

I hope it helps. If you have any questions, please, let me know. 

Best Regards,

Diana

Thank you Diana,

if I had to install only Hiwave to program my S12GA what should I install? Is it a part of CW installer or it is standalone? At this moment I only have to program my device with a already compiled firmware...

Hello Claudio,

As I know the Hiwave can be launched by hiwave.exe independently from the CodeWarrior which is located in the Prog folder in the CW install directory: \Prog\hiwave.exe

So, you should install CodeWarrior.

I hope it helps.

Best Regards,

Thank you Diana, I installed CW 5.2 but when I start Hiwave the Multilink Universal is not found. May be the drivers are not installed? When can I find the Win10 driver?

Thank you

Hello Claudio,

At first, please, try to connect the board by a procedure below:

1. connect the hardware with PC

2. start "Hiwave.exe"

3. go to menu Component -> Set Connection and select PE multilink -> OK

4. go to menu HC12MultilinkCyclonePro -> Set Derivative and select your MCU

5. go to menu HC12MultilinkCyclonePro -> Connection check connection -> Connect

6. menu File -> Load Application and import .s19 file.

Note: for the first time after point 3. I have seen an error, but after that, I can select the right MCU.

I hope it helps.

Best Regards,

Diana
