Hi Claudia,
The S12XA is almost the same what S12XD, just without CAN.
Unfortunately, the newest CodeWarrior version (5.2) do not support S12XA family, therefore you must use an older version (up to version 5.1). How to get CW5.1:
https://community.nxp.com/videos/5109
the version 5.2 was released with for Win10 support, but some of the old devices like S12XA were not implemented.
S12XA web page:
http://www.nxp.com/products/automotive-products/microcontrollers-and-processors/16-bit-s12-s12x-mcus...
the documentation tab offers more than 30 application notes…
The standard evaluation board is probably no longer manufactured, but you may order some other boards like APS12OS S12XDT512 (CSMB-12XDT512) board from Axiom:
https://www.axman.com/catalog/5
or Adapt9S12XDP512M2 board from Technological Arts
http://www.technologicalarts.ca/shop/store/details/453/119/9s12/adapt9s12x/modules/adapt9s12xdp512m2...
or any other
You may look also on old used zk-s12-a (112-pin LQFP) or zk-s12-b (80-pin QFP) board from SofTec which allow assembly your MCU into ZIF socket.
The old board like zk-s12-a or CSMB-12XDT512 may contain on board BDM interfaces (SofTec, TBDML,…) without drivers for newest 64bit operating systems. Therefore, some debugger probe like PEmicro USB Multilink or Multilink Universal may be necessary:

The low-cost debuggers are typically represented by open source projects like OSBDM or USBDM.
You may build it yourself or buy per 20~30 dollars…
We may offer plenty of simple example codes for S12XD. If you will interest, please create a new thread with your request.
BTW: this is not SOIC package, but 80QFP package.
I hope it helps you.
Have a great day,
Radek
