Development Environment
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Either Linux or Cygwin on Windows can be used for the development
environment. The source has been built only using the GNU toolchain
(see below). Other toolchains will likely cause problems.
NuttX Buildroot Toolchain
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
A GNU GCC-based toolchain is assumed. The PATH environment variable should
be modified to point to the correct path to the HC12 GCC toolchain (if
different from the default in your PATH variable).
If you have no HC12 toolchain, one can be downloaded from the NuttX
Bitbucket download site (https://bitbucket.org/nuttx/buildroot/downloads/).
This GNU toolchain builds and executes in the Linux or Cygwin
environments.
1. You must have already configured NuttX in <some-dir>/nuttx.
tools/configure.sh demo9s12nec64:<sub-dir>
2. Download the latest buildroot package into <some-dir>
3. unpack the buildroot tarball. The resulting directory may
have versioning information on it like buildroot-x.y.z. If so,
rename <some-dir>/buildroot-x.y.z to <some-dir>/buildroot.
4. cd <some-dir>/buildroot
5. cp boards/m9s12x-defconfig-3.3.6 .config
6. make oldconfig
7. make
If the make fails because it can't find the file to download, you may
have to locate the file on the internet and download it into the archives/
directory manually. For example, binutils-2.18 can be found here:
http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/binutils/
8. Make sure that the PATH variable includes the path to the newly built
binaries.
See the file boards/README.txt in the buildroot source tree. That has more
detailed PLUS some special instructions that you will need to follow if you are
building a Cortex-M3 toolchain for Cygwin under Windows.
FreeScale HCS12 Serial Monitor
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
General:
The NuttX HCS12 port is configured to use the Freescale HCS serial
monitor. This monitor supports primitive debug commands that allow
FLASH/EEPROM programming and debugging through an RS-232 serial
interface. The serial monior is 2Kb in size and resides in FLASH at
addresses 0xf800-0xffff. The monitor does not use any RAM other than
the stack itself.
AN2458
The serial monitor is described in detail in Freescale Application
Note AN2458.pdf.
COP:
The serial monitor uses the COP for the cold reset function and should
not be used by the application without some precautions (see AN2458).
Clocking:
The serial monitor sets the operating frequency to 24 MHz. This is
not altered by the NuttX start-up; doing so would interfere with the
operation of the serial monitor.
Memory Configuration:
Registers:
o Register space is located at 0x0000-0x03ff.
FLASH:
o FLASH memory is any address greater than 0x4000. All paged
addresses are assumed to be FLASH memory.
o Application code should exclude the 0xf780-0xff7f memory.
SRAM:
o RAM ends at 0x3FFF and builds down to the limit of the device's
available RAM.
o The serial monitor's stack pointer is set to the end of RAM+1
(0x4000).
EEPROM:
o EEPROM (if the target device has any) is limited to the available
space between the registers and the RAM (0x0400 to start of RAM).
External Devices:
o External devices attached to the multiplexed external bus
interface are not supported
Serial Communications:
The serial monitor uses RS-232 serial communications through SCI0 at
115,200 baud. The monitor must have exclusive use of this interface.
Access to the serial port is available through a monitor jump table.
Interrupts:
The serial monitor redirects interrupt vectors to an unprotected
portion of FLASH just before the protected monitor program
(0xf780-0xf7fe). The monitor will automatically redirect vector
programming operations to these user vectors. The user code should
therefore keep the normal (non-monitor) vector locations
(0xff80-0xfffe).
Soft Registers
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The mc68hcs12 compilation is prone to errors like the following:
CC: lib_b16sin.c
lib_b16sin.c: In function `b16sin':
lib_b16sin.c:110: error: unable to find a register to spill in class `S_REGS'
lib_b16sin.c:110: error: this is the insn:
(insn:HI 41 46 44 8 (parallel [
(set (subreg:SI (reg:DI 58 [ rad ]) 4)
(reg/v:SI 54 [ rad ]))
(clobber (scratch:HI))
]) 20 {movsi_internal} (insn_list 46 (nil))
(expr_list:REG_UNUSED (scratch:HI)
(expr_list:REG_NO_CONFLICT (reg/v:SI 54 [ rad ])
(nil))))
lib_b16sin.c:110: confused by earlier errors, bailing out
There are several ways that this error could be fixed:
1. Increase the number of soft registers (i.e., "fake" registers defined
at fixed memory locations). This can be done by adding something like
-msoft-reg-count=4 to the CFLAGS. This approach was not taken
because:
- This slows hcs12 performance
- All of these soft registers wouil have to be saved and restored
on every interrupt and context switch.
2. Lowering the optimization level by dropping -Os to -O2 or, more likely,
by removing -fomit-frame-pointer. Also not desirable becauase 99% of the
files that do not have this problem also increase in size. Special case
compilation with reduced optimization levels just for the files that need
it could be done, but this would complicate the make system.
3. Restructuring files to reduce the complexity. If you add local variables
to hold intermediate computational results, this error can be eliminated.
This is the approach taken in NuttX. It has disadvantages only in that
(1) it takes some effort and good guessing to eliminate the problem, and (2)
the problem is not really eliminated -- it can and will re-occur when files
are changed or new files are added.
4. Many files are built that are needed by DEM09S12NE64. Another very simple
option if those problem files are needed is to just remove the offending
files from the Make.defs file so that they no longer cause a problem.

Configurations
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Common Configuration Notes
--------------------------
1. Each Freescale HCS12 configuration is maintained in a sub-directory and
can be selected as follow:
tools/configure.sh demo9s12nec64:<subdir>
Where <subdir> is one of the configuration sub-directories described in
the following paragraph.
2. These configurations use the mconf-based configuration tool. To
change a configurations using that tool, you should:
a. Build and install the kconfig-mconf tool. See nuttx/README.txt
see additional README.txt files in the NuttX tools repository.
b. Execute 'make menuconfig' in nuttx/ in order to start the
reconfiguration process.
3. By default, all configurations assume that you are building under
Linux (should work under Windows with Cygwin as well). This is
easily reconfigured:
CONFIG_HOST_LINUX=y
