The Imagecraft ICC08 Embedded Development Suite for Freescale (Motorola) HC08 microcontrollers includes an ANSI C-compiler, relocatable assembler & linker, powerful and user-friendly IDE, libraries, librarian, source code management and a make utility. This package comes bundled with NoICE Debugger for 68HC08.

NoICE Debugger Features

• Flash EPROM burning and debugging, if supported by target hardware.
• Source-level debug in C and assembler.
• A disassembler, which may also be used without target hardware.
• A mini-assembler.
• Memory display and editing in hex and high-level formats.
• Directly loads Imagecraft DBG files; Intel, Motorola, and Tektronix hex files, with various symbol formats; and IEEE 695 files.
• Utilities to extract line and symbol information for use with many other compilers and assemblers.
• A virtually unlimited number of breakpoints (except as restricted by hardware during Flash debugging).
• Hardware-free single step using automatically defined breakpoints.
• Definition of symbols, which may be used in expressions and by the disassembler.
• Definition of C data structures, arrays, and stack-based variables.
• The ability to record and play back files of commands, and to define such files as macros.
• On-line help in HTML format. Use of HTML allows you to annotate and customize the help system to meet your needs.

68HC08 Embedded Development Suite Features

Comprehensive Target Support

• Supports all Freescale (Motorola) 68HC908 Flash microcontrollers, including the new Q series.
• Write interrupt handlers in C.
• Supports inline assembly, and can interface with assembly modules.
• Byte operations.
• Automatic generation of bit field instructions such as bset, bclr, brset, brclr, etc.
• Supports single chip and expanded mode. Does not support code paging

Powerful and User-Friendly IDE

• Fast 32-bits Windows Integrated Development Environment, accepts long file names.
• Uncluttered tabbed editor windows.
• C editor with syntax highlighting, jump to matching braces, block indents and outdents, extensive bookmark support, and code templates.
• Application Builder to generate peripheral initialization code (currently only for GP32)
• Code Browser (tm) lists your project's functions and variables by their addresses, data type and sizes.
• Project Manager automatically generates standard makefile, one click to rebuild.
• Simple interface to select compiler options, including choose from a data base of popular chip configurations for memory address setup, select different versions of "printf" based on features and code size, and lots more!
• Built-in ANSI Terminal emulator for target communication.
• Built-in FLASH burner downloads code to micro.

Freescale (Motorola) HC08 C compiler

• Modern fast C Compiler with FULL support for the ANSI C language. NOT micro-C or extended K&R C.
• 32-bit longs, 32-bit IEEE single precision floating point.

Optimizations

• Device specific instructions.
• Optimized switch handling.
• Algebraic simplifications.
• Block level common subexpression elimination.
• Peephole optimization.

6808 Assembler / Linker

• Relocatable Motorola HC08 assembler and linker.
• Assembler directives include conditional processing, include files, macros and textual defines.
• Industry standard output formats; Intel HEX, Motorola S19.

Debugger Support

• Supports NoICE(tm) Debugger.
• Compilers produce listing files that are usable by most assembly level debuggers using conversion programs.
• Structure member info (generated by professional version only).

Libraries

• Subset of ANSI C library including printf, memory allocation, strings, and math functions.
• Target-specific functions such as those for accessing EEPROM and various subsystems (SPI, ADC, etc.)

Tools

• Make utility.
• Librarian to manage library file.
• RCS for source code management.

Documentation

• Online WinHelp. CD-ROM version comes with printed manual (> 100 pages).

Third Party Tool Support

• Command line compilers callable from other editors (e.g. Codewright). Multiedit interface DLL also available.

Technical Support

• Excellent technical support via email. Typical turnaround time is the same day!
• Free 6 months maintenance update via internet download.
• Low cost annual maintenance plans.

Professional Version

• Code Compressor (tm) optimizer, which reduces final code by 8-18%. This state-of-the-art whole-program optimizer is not available in any other commercial embedded compilers.
• Generate structure member info for debugger

The ICC08 Embedded Development Suite also is available without the NoICE Debugger.
