Overview
The comprehensive, highly visual CodeWarrior™ Development Studio
for Freescale™ HCS12(X) Microcontrollers enables engineers to build
and deploy HCS12 or HCS12X/XGATE systems quickly and easily. This
tool suite provides the capabilities required by every engineer in the
development cycle: from board bring-up to firmware development to
final application development. With a common project-based
development environment reuse becomes a natural by-product as each
team builds on the work already completed by the previous team.
Whether the application is targeted at consumer white goods, industrial
control or automotive body controllers, the CodeWarrior environment
provides you everything you need to exploit the capabilities of the
HCS12 and HCS12X/XGATE architectures.
The award-winning CodeWarrior IDE goes well beyond basic code
generation and debugging, streamlining applications design from the
moment you open the box. It features an intuitive, state-of-the-art
project manager and build system, a highly optimized compiler, a
graphical, source-level debugger, integrated profiling capabilities, a
cycle-accurate, instruction-set simulator and more.
Why develop applications with CodeWarrior tools?
Get to Market Fast
Speed your time-to-market by creating, compiling, linking, assembling
and debugging within a single, integrated development environment.
Use our tightly-integrated tools to speed your development time or
plug in familiar third-party editors, compilers and debuggers.
Skip the endless debug cycles at the end of a project and the frantic
search through the silicon documentation to find the single bit that is
set incorrectly, causing your application to crash. Just define the
functionality you need for your application and Processor Expert within
CodeWarrior Studio generates tested, optimized C-code tuned for your
application and the particular 68HC(S)12 derivative you have chosen.
Maximize Performance/Minimize Silicon Cost
Create the most highly optimized code in the market with our industry
leading ANSI C/C++ and compact C++ compilers. These compilers are
designed to take full advantage of the HCS12 and HCS12X/XGATE
architectures, with more than 60-advanced optimization strategies
specifically designed to boost performance and reduce code size. So,
you can extract maximum performance from lower cost silicon and
reduce your overall product cost.
Develop Software Ahead of Hardware
Start software development immediately. The cycle-accurate simulator
in CodeWarrior Development Studio provides the most powerful tool
short of actual hardware. Long before hardware is available you can
detect and repair design and requirement errors with the simulator and
integrated data visualization, code coverage and profile analysis. These
tools provide you with clear, meaningful insight into your program’s
run-time behavior. Armed with this data, you can tailor your
application for optimum performance and reliability.
Processor Expert from UNIS
Processor Expert is a rapid application
design tool (RAD) that combines easy-to-
use component-based application
creation with an expert knowledge
system. CPU, on-chip peripherals,
external peripherals and software
functionality are encapsulated into
components called Embedded Beans.
You can tailor each component’s
functionality to fit your application
requirements by modifying the
component’s properties, methods and
events. When you build the project,
Processor Expert automatically generates
highly optimized C-code and places the
files into your CodeWarrior project.
Endless troubleshooting cycles are a
thing of the past! Processor Expert’s
knowledge base only provides valid
choices and immediately flags potential
resource conflicts, allowing you to
resolve the problems during the initial
design phase.
Processor Expert also makes porting a
breeze. Simply select the new MCU and
Processor Expert maps the software and
peripheral components that describe
your application’s functionality to the
resources available on the new MCU. All
you have to do is resolve any problems
flagged by Processor Expert and you’re
finished.

Graphical Source-Level Debugger
The CodeWarrior IDE includes a state-of-the-art
source-level debugger with a wide array of
sophisticated features that help you
troubleshoot and repair your application faster.
The debugger provides the power you need
with the simplicity of a Windows®-based point-
and-click environment for fast and easy
execution.
• Graphical display of complex data structures
and expressions to speed run-time analysis
• Fast, flexible and comprehensive run-control
capabilities for complete target control
• Precise breakpoints help solve sophisticated
problems
CodeWarrior Development Studio provides the capabilities required by every engineer in the development cycle: from board bring-up to firmware
development to final application development.
Benefit
Gets you up and programming fast.
Eliminates confusing and often complex make
files with visual preference panels.
For specific optimizations only you can provide.
Reduces code size and maximizes the capabilities
of the microcontroller to achieve top performance.
Allows reuse and maintenance of code through
libraries.
Speeds debug cycles by viewing the source
code as it executes.
Fully integrated flash programming improves
the build-debug cycle because it automates
your downloads.
Reduces costs and eliminates possible hard-
ware issues during development.
Let’s you see how your program effects periph-
erals and responds to outside input.
Allows you create listings of ELF files.
Ready to work with OSEK, for RTOS-aware
debug capabilities.
Automates repetitive debug cycles during pro-
gram validation.
Abstracts the hardware layer and generates
optimized, microcontroller-specific code tai-
lored to your application, so you can concen-
trate on design.
Allows you to create reusable software compo-
nents, which can be easily retargeted to any
Freescale Hybrid, HC(S)08 or HCS12(X) micro-
controller.
Gives you visibility into your running program to
allow fine tuning and better quality metrics.
Ensures compliance with MISRA and other
code quality and style guidelines.
