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

[RodneyMcGee]

The Good and the Bad about CodeWarrior Development Studio for HCS12(X) Microcontrollers (Classic IDE) v5.2

• Removed more than half of the supported chips for "market reasons" (see table below)
• Updated P&E drivers for Windows 8 & 10 (but they are already out of date again)
• Removed some other connections (SofTec, Serial monitor, Abatron, TBDML)
  • If you need these you have to use 5.1 (see this post 430483#comment-877065 )
• Includes all 5.1 updates
• Updated ProcessorExpert to 3.06 (not in release notes)
  • Fixed Device Initialization issue for S12X clock initialization
  • Fixed API pre-scaler range in Timer Int component for MC9S12XE derivatives

The Unofficial Workaround – have your cake and eat it too

NOTE: This is NOT supported by NXP, but this article is how to make it WORK anyway . Do not contact Freescale support when you modify your installation files. Ask your questions here on the forum about this process. Also SofTec, TBDML, Abatron, etc... and the other older connection options will still NOT work because the makers of those devices have not wrote modern OS drivers. Serial debugger is also not currently available with my workaround.  Your options are P&E tools and USBDM for programmer/debuggers.

A. Install CW 5.2

If you have not already here is a link to the special edition of 5.2

https://cache.nxp.com/lgfiles/devsuites/HC12/CWS12v5.2_Win_b151201_se.exe

B. Download Missing Pieces

See attachment "cw 5 2 missing pieces v3.zip" at the bottom

(see hashes at the bottom; there is no .exe in zip, download from nxp community forum)

• Includes the missing xml,c,h files from CW5.1 and service packs
• Updated P&E prog files - dated 10 April 2018 (which is newer than what comes with CW5.2)
• A few newer versions of derivative header files

Note: My zip includes some updated files. See the explanation in this video link

C. Merge files in CWS12v5.2 Program Files

Confirm CodeWarrior is closed and not running

You need administrator rights or login info to do these steps

Instructions for Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8 / 8.1, Windows 10:

     Extract the attached zip (see bottom of post), so that you have three folders.

     Select and Drag the 3 folders (Bin,Lib,Prog) into the CWS12v5.2 folder probably in C:\Program Files...

         It will ask merge the files from the folders (overwriting some – answer yes)

     See the video to make sure you do this right (not for XP): Video Instructions (YouTube)

Instructions for Windows XP:

Note: In Windows XP the default behavior is to overwrite and delete folders NOT merge them, so we use the 7-zip method which actually works for all.

     Install and Open 7zip (as a Admin user)

     Navigate to and open attached zip file within the 7zip main interface (you should see the Bin,Lib,Prog folders)

     Click Extract and select your main CW5.2 installation folder eg C:\Program Files\CWS12v5.2 as the "Copy to:"

     7zip will prompt you to overwrite a few files (answer, yes)

D. Processor Expert (if needed)

See attachment (at the bottom of the post) "PE config older chips.zip"

Extract this zip and replace these four files in your C:\Program Files\CWS12v5.2\ProcessorExpert\Config folder overwriting the files.

E. Install latest P&E Drivers (if needed)

Install the latest P&E Hardware Interface Drivers, Version 12 (Win XP/Vista/7/8/10)

If you have issues read this FAQ

F. USBDM (if needed)

I am personally use a Wytec USBDM with the latest software and it works great . Consider it because they are a faction of the price of other programmers and are open source hardware and software. They are also available quite cheap on eBay, BUT do not use the software that comes with them, throw the CD away, and download the official latest software below.

https://sourceforge.net/projects/usbdm/files/  to get

USBDM_4_12_1_230_Win_i.msi or newer

And ONE of these:

USBDM_Drivers_4_12_3_Win_x64.msi or newer (for 64-bit 7 and 10)

or USBDM_Drivers_4_12_3_Win_x32.msi or newer (for 32-bit 7 and 10)

or USBDM_Drivers_4_12_3_WinXP_x32.msi or newer (for XP)

Don't forget to update your USBDM firmware.

Here is a video for CW5.1, but the process is similar CodeWarrior HCS12(X) Install and Update USBDM - YouTube

See Part D of the instructions. 

What you need to do this written there. 

[Eric_t]

Hi Rodney,

I didn't realize thatPE is for processor expert.

For some reason I thought that was for pemicro.

Thank you

[parvathipradeep]

Hi Mr Rodney,

Thank you for the post. Just wanted to check if this version of Code Warrior 5.2 has any restriction of code size (32KB) or something ?

Regards,

Parvathi

[RodneyMcGee]

Yes, by default you get the special edition unless you have a license. 

[yikunliu]

hello

i am come from China, i can't open youtube to watch your video.

can you tell me how to merge files to cw5.2  ?

thank you very much

[RodneyMcGee]

The instructions are in the text of the main post. 

Here is a picture that will help. 

[yikunliu]

it worked !!!!!

my mc9s12G64 appears in the list and Processor Expert useful

omg!!!!!

Forgive me for my bad English,            

i don’t know how to express my thanks

it helps me a lot

Thank You! 

[stealthserver]

Thank you very much for this guide, but I did run into one issue. 

The folders within the "cw-5.2-missing-peices-v1.zip" file are named "Bin", "Lib", and "Proj". While the Code Warrior 5.2 folders are "Bin", "lib", and "Prog". So if you just drag and drop the folders like you said they don't all go in the proper folder. I had to manually move the contents of each folder into their "proper" ones to get it to work properly.

[RodneyMcGee]

Thanks I just fixed that. 

[gerritbarrere]

This is excellent, thank you very much!  You have picked up where NXP has left us stranded.  How do they expect users to maintain old devices?  

I'm running Windows 10, CW 5.2 (I think?  IDE says 5.9.0 but Installed Products says "development studio 5.2"), and I'm using a new P&E Multilink Universal BDM interface.  I've followed the directions here and got everything going for my MC9S12DG256, ported my source files, built a new project, and can run the CW (HiWare) debugger.  Mostly...

I get erratic results with the debugger.  Sometimes unsecure and/or breakpoints work, sometimes not.  Downloading code is almost always successful.  The debugger  HC12MultilinkCyclonePro / Select Derivative menu does not show the 9S12DG256, not even close, so I'm thinking I have the wrong 'derivative' selected here. 

Does anyone know what I should select for this?  There are three "unknown" derivative options: $2EA, $3D7, and $3D9, and I've tried them all.  I can't find where these are defined anywhere, or what the 'derivative' number of my device really is.

[RodneyMcGee]

I would try a USBDM from eBay. See if the results are any different. 

[dongranelec]

Can you update the Processor Expert of CW5.2 for HCS12 ?  I can't find MC9S12A128 (S12A series) in Processor Expert of CW5.2 . I have updated the CW5.2 for HCS12 as above method.

[RodneyMcGee]

In my original post, I added a zip file called "PE config older chips.zip"

Extract this zip and replace these four files in your CW5.2/ProcessorExpert/Config folder overwriting the files. 

[maximederbois]

This post saved me from hours of searching ! Thank you so much !

[abethestudent]

Hey, Followed all the instruction but when I want to use the serial monitor for a connection for class but it is invisible with a few other options. Is there a method that allows them to show. thanks man.

[RodneyMcGee]

The serial monitor is not supported with 5.2.

In this case, you have to use 5.1.

[TurboBob]

the link to the updates for 5.1 seems broken 

5.1 seems to be working for my purposes,   is there an advantage to wrestling with 5.2?

[RodneyMcGee]

Thanks. I fixed the link to updates. 

The differences between 5.1 and 5.2 are listed in the main post. The main advantage is it comes with all the updates, and they fixed a few things in ProcessorExpert. But if 5.1 is working ... no need to change. 

[gredolfo]

Will CodeWarrior v5.1 work with Windows 10 64 bits?
