What tools are available for developing custom software programs for the HC908 Daughtercard in the Breadboard Kit?
Programming your HC908 Daughtercard can be as simple as editing the well-commented source code files provided with the project by using the free editor/assembler from P&E Micro. Just download the free development suite software from the P&E site by following these five easy steps: 1) Go to the P&E Micro website (www.pemicro.com) 2) Select the link called “Motorola M68HC908 Software/Docs ” 3) Select link for “Download the most recent versions of our ICS software packages” 4) Enter your name and email address 5) download the HC908ICS08 software package. Once unzipped and installed, you have a combined editor/assembler/debugger for source code programs. You can then download any source code files you edit and compile to the HC908 Daughtercard via your computer’s serial port using the built-in boot loader program.
