1 Introduction
1.1 Overview
The DEMO9S12PFAME Demonstration board has been designed for the evaluation,
demonstration and the debugging of the Freescale MC9S12P128 microcontroller.
The DEMO9S12PFAME can be used as a standalone application, or via its built-in USB-to-
BDM bridge, or together the Freescale Student Learning Kit (Freescale code: MCUSLK)
through three external 40-pin I/O female header connectors.
1.2 Package Contents
The DEMO9S12PFAME package includes the following items:
 The DEMO9S12PFAME evaluation board;
 A USB cable;
 A LIN cable;
 The SofTec Microsystems “System Software” CD-ROM;
 The CodeWarrior Development Studio Special Edition CD-ROM;
 A Quick Start Guide sheet;
 This user’s manual.
1.3 Supported Devices
The DEMO9S12PFAME Demonstration Board supports the following devices:
 MC9S12P128.
1.4 Recommended Reading
 Freescale S12 microcontroller-specific datasheets;
 DEMO9S12PFAME Schematic.

2 Hardware Features
2.1 Demonstration Board Features
The DEMO9S12PFAME board features:
 A MC9S12P128 microcontroller (in 80-Pin QFP package, already programmed with a
demo application);
 A 4 MHz crystal;
 A 12 V DC power supply input connector;
 Power input selection jumper for selecting the input voltage source:
o 12 V DC input connector;
o USB connector.
 A built-in USB-to-BDM circuitry which allows the host PC to communicate with the
microcontroller through a standard USB interface. USB 2.0 is fully supported. When
using an external in-circuit debugger (via the “BDM” connector), the USB-to-BDM
circuitry must be bypassed by removing the BKGD and RESET# jumpers.
 A Reset push-button connected to the MCU Reset pin.
 A series of inputs:
o Two push-buttons, together with jumpers to connect/disconnect them to/from the
microcontroller;
o Four DIP-switches, together with jumpers to connect/disconnect them to/from the
microcontroller;
o A potentiometer, together with a jumper to connect/disconnect it to/from the
microcontroller;
o A photocell, together with a jumper to connect/disconnect it to/from the
microcontroller.
 Four high-efficiency (low-current) LEDs together with jumpers to connect/disconnect
them to/from the microcontroller;
 An RS-232 channel connected to the microcontroller’s SCI serial communication
interface, together with a jumper to select the RS-232 or LIN functionality (see point
below);
 Two LIN connectors sharing one LIN transceiver, together with jumpers for
configuration;
 One CAN connector with high-speed CAN transceiver, together with jumpers for
configuration.

3 Software Setup
3.1 Overview
i
Note:before connecting the Demonstration Board to the PC, it is
recommended that you install all of the required software first (see
below), so that the appropriate USB driver will be automatically found by
Windows when you connect the Demonstration Board.
The Demonstration Board requires that both CodeWarrior Development Studio Special Edition
and SofTec Microsystems Additional Components be installed in the host PC.
i
Note: CodeWarrior Development Studio for HCS12(X) must be installed
first.
3.2 Host System Requirements
The Demonstration Board is controlled by CodeWarrior Development Studio. The following
hardware and software are required to run the CodeWarrior user interface together with the
Demonstration Board:
 A 200-MHz (or higher) PC compatible system running Windows 98, Windows 2000 or
Windows XP;
 128 MB of available system RAM plus 1 GB of available hard disk space;
 A USB port;
 CD-ROM drive for installation.
3.3 Installing CodeWarrior Development Studio
To install the CodeWarrior Development Studio Special Edition, insert the CodeWarrior CD-
ROM into your computer’s CD-ROM drive. A startup window will automatically appear. Follow
the on-screen instructions.

Software Setup
3.4 Installing SofTec Microsystems Additional
Components
The SofTec Microsystems “System Software” CD-ROM contains other required components to
your hard drive. These components include:
 SofTec Microsystems DLL for DEMO9S12PFAME support;
 Examples;
 Demonstration Board’s user’s manual;
 Demonstration Board’s schematic;
 Additional documentation.
To install the required components, do the following:
1. Insert the SofTec Microsystems “System Software” CD-ROM into your computer’s CD-
ROM drive. A startup window will automatically appear.
2. Choose “Install Instrument Software” from the main menu.
3. Click on the “Copy SofTec Microsystems DLL to \CodeWarrior for HCS12
V4.7\Prog\gdi” option. An Explorer window will open. Copy the “SofTec_BDM12.dll”
file to your PC in the “\CodeWarrior for HC12 V4.7\Prog\gdi” folder, relative to the
CodeWarrior installation path.
4. Click on the “Copy examples for CodeWarrior for HCS12 V.4.7” option. An Explorer
window will open. Copy the “DEMO9S12PFAME” folder to your PC, in a location of your
choice. These are the examples specific for the demonstration board, and will be used
later in the step-by-step tutorial.
i
Note: to install the Additional Components on Windows 2000 or Windows
XP, you must log in as Administrator.
