Installing the Software and Setting up the Hardware

4.1

Installing User Firmware on the KITVALVECNTLEVM

The KITVALVECNTLEVM comes with firmware installed. As an option, you can also develop your own firmware and download it to the

EVB. To do so, you must:

1. Purchase a USB BDM Multilink programming cable (See the P&E Micro site at the following url:

https://www.pemicro.com/products/product_viewDetails.cfm?product_id=33).

2. Locate the programming connector (see Table 4) on the EVB. Attach the 6-pin (Berg) connector to the program connector.

Make sure the red wire side of the cable is at the J1 side of the connector.

3. Attach the USB end of the cable to the PC

4. Install Freescale’s CodeWarrior V10.x on the PC

5. Use the S12Z Multilink Programmer/Debugger to perform the programming and download the code.

4.2

Installing CodeWarrior

Freescale’s CodeWarrior for MCUs integrates the development tools for several architectures, including the S12Z architecture, into a

single product based on the Eclipse open development platform. Eclipse offers an excellent framework for building software development

environments and is a standard framework used by many embedded software vendors. The latest version of CodeWarrior for MCUs

(Eclipse IDE) can be downloaded from freescale.com/CodeWarrior.

During the installation, there is a request to select components to install. You must install at least the ColdFire component. This kit also

requires the S12Z component. Select the S12Z component and click on “Next” to complete the installation.
