Overview
This document will guide you through all the steps necessary to begin development on an HCS12 Family
microcontroller unit (MCU) using your MCUSLK. The software setup section will assist you install the
Metrowerks’ CodeWarrior software and necessary software to support your MCU Project Board – 2. The
hardware setup section will walk you through configuring the MCU Project Board – 2 for use with the
MC9S12C32 MCU application module (Axiom’s CSM12C32). The development section will show you
how to create, build, and debug your application. Refer to the MCU Project Board – 2 user guide,
MC9S12C32 MCU application module user guide and Metrowerks’ CodeWarrior documentation for
details.

Software Setup
Software Setup
The following software installation is a one-time, required procedure per host PC that you intend to use
with the MCU Project Board – 2. After completing the software setup section on your host PC, you can
then skip the software section on subsequent uses of your project board and begin with the hardware
setup or development sections.
1. To install and register CodeWarrior development tools for HC(S)12 MCUs onto a host PC, follow
the instructions outlined in sections A, B, and C of the CodeWarrior Development Studio for
Freescale 68HC(S)12 Microcontrollers quick start pamphlet found inside the supplied 3-cd case
labeled CodeWarrior Development Studio for HC(S)08 Special Edition and HC(S)12 Special
Edition. Make sure to request the special edition license when registering.1The special edition
license version of CodeWarrior is necessary for developing applications for the MC9S12C32 MCU
application module board.
2. Install a CodeWarrior service patch labeled “CW12_V3_1_ICD12_USB2_0_Sim_patch.exe”
located in the Service Pack CD found inside the supplied 3-cd case labeled CodeWarrior
Development Studio for HC(S)08 Special Edition and HC(S)12 Special Edition. The patch is
located under the E:\HC(S)12\CW12_V3_1\ directory in the Service Pack CD. Install by double-
clicking on the file and by following the on-screen instructions.
NOTE
The CW12_V3_1_ICD12_USB2_0_Sim_patch.exe is REQUIRED for the
USB multilink pod on the MCU Project Board – 2 to function with the
Metrowerks CodeWarrior development tools and must be installed prior to
the hardware setup section. Other patches included on the Service Pack
CD are recommended if developing an application on a HC(S)12
microcontroller other than the MC9S12C32.
NOTE
Periodically check the corresponding development tool product page for
patches and updates. For questions on CodeWarrior development tools,
contact [email protected]
1. Registering will email you instructions for how to acquire the special
edition license. After you acquire the special edition license, place it in the
root CodeWarrior directory. If you encounter problems with registration, you
can acquire your special edition license online at
http://www.metrowerks.com/MW/Develop/Embedded/HC12/Downloads.

Unpack
1. Open the shipping carton and remove the contents. Verify that all packing list items have been
received.
2. Inspect both the MCU Project Board – 2 and the MC9S12C32 MCU application module for any
damage that may have occurred during shipping. If damage is found, contact the manufacturer at
[email protected] for assistance.
Configuring the MCU Project Board – 2
1. To begin, place the MCU Project Board – 2 on a flat sturdy surface. Ensure sufficient space is
available around the project board to safely construct and test prototyped circuits.
2. Verify that all the factory default jumper settings are configured properly on the MCU Project
Board – 2 as shown by Figure 1. Highlighted blocks indicate the “on” or “installed” position of
jumpers. Circles indicate the location on the project board where the jumpers are located. Table 1
summarizes the default state for the jumper settings. Please refer to MCU Project Board – 2 User
Guide for more details and alternative configurations.

will open and show error messages and warning messages, if appropriate
Debugging your Application
The following steps explain how to establish communication and upload your application software to the
MC9S12C32 MCU application module (CSM-12C32). This will allow you to debug your application
through Metrowerks’ True-Time Simulator & Real-Time Debugger using the BDM pod interface on the
MCU Project Board – 2. The Software Setup and Hardware Setup sections must be completed before
executing the steps in this section.
1. Make sure power is applied to the project board. If not, go back and follow hardware setup section
instructions.
