Welcome to EVBplus.com, the home of  Wytec's Motorola / Freescale MC68HC11 MC68HC12 68HC11 6811 6812 68HC12 HC11 HC12  68HCS12 MC9S12 9S12 HCS12 MCU software development tools, educational and tutorial microcomputer, microcontroller development, trainer, evaluation EVB, EVBU, platform boards, tools and kits.

  Need a great reliable RTOS for multitasking with the HCS12?  Check the new Micrium's µC/OS-II port for the Dragon12-Plus board.  
It works with the
newest Code Warrior Special Edition 4.7 and Freescale serial monitor, no BDM is needed. 
Code Warrior SE 4.7 removed the 32-file limit so
the µC/OS-II's build function would work.
The example project supplied includes support for the 16x2 character LCD screen, the 4-digit seven segment LED display, the keypad and
µC/Probe.

The application note AN1456 and source code of the µC/OS-II are downloadable from Micrium's web site. No licensing is required for educational use. 
Combining with the best
Textbook for the µC/OS-II and the free Code Warrior special edition, it's a great way to start a university RTOS course.

Dear Professors:
Are you thinking about starting a new 68HC11 or 68HC12/HCS12 course?  These sites offer sample programs in course materials and lab assignments that will save you a lot of time.

Which MC9S12 MCU chip is the best for a general trainer or a development board and why?  

 

From ECE 101 to ECE 999, from blinking a LED to RTOS and MATLAB/Simulink projects, one HCS12 Board Fits All !

DRAGON12-Plustm, the Freescale HCS12 / 9S12 microcontroller trainer, EVB, EVBU and project development board can not only to be used as a general trainer for freshman and sophomore students, but also as a powerful platform for senior projects as well.  The new features of the Dragon12-Plus board create a new potential for students at every level. 
When a board can be used in several courses, it will reduce the real cost per course.


Dragon12, one of the best HCS12 microcontroller trainers, EVB/EVBU and project development boards is getting even better.  The popular HCS12, 9S12 and MC9S12 trainer / project development board in universities around the world now offers more features at a great price for Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering and Mechatronic Engineering students and schools.  

Our company has a real passion for helping students own a complete, high-quality and low-cost, embedded hardware system and software toolset at home. This passion has kept us going strong daily. 

Having the best engineering school in the U.S. and the largest university in the U.S. recently selected the Dragon12-Plus board as their trainers for ME and EE courses, we are taking a major step towards the mission of our company.  The contribution of Wytec to the industry is having kept quality learning products, such as the Dragon12-Plus board, at a low cost within the educational market today.

Dr. Richard Haskell has written a new textbook "Learning by example using C - Programming the Dragon12-Plus using Code Warrior" for his new ME course at Oakland University.  His ASEE  conference paper includes some C sample programs.

The self balancing scooter, a great mechatronic design application of MATLAB using HCS12 hardware, such as the Dragon12, is created by Dr. Cazzolato's students.  See the details and more pictures and movies of this Adelaide University's project.

There are some very impressive MALAB/Simulink Robotic Projects using HCS12 hardware with Code Warrior from Dr. Wornle's students. 

Need to use the Code Warrior IDE with a free C source level debugger for your DRAGON12 board or MiniDRAGON+ board?  See Dr. Frank Wornle's web site at: 
http://www.mecheng.adelaide.edu.au/robotics/wpage.php?wpage_id=56

Please read his HCS12serialmonitor.pdf  for the step-by-step setup instructions and 5 lab handouts contain valuable information on HCS12's A/D converter, ECT system, I2C based D/A converter and FIR implementation.

Dr. Frank Wornle of the University of Adelaide in Australia
has uploaded another great project which may be of interest to the Dragon12 community (in particular universities). It's the port of a MATLAB toolbox previously written for Infineon C167 microcontrollers. The toolbox allows Simulink block diagrams to be compiled and downloaded to the Flash of the Dragon-12. Once running, all signals can be monitored 'life' in the Simulink scope blocks. Block diagram parameters can also be modified and are downloaded to the target whenever required (on-the-fly parameter tuning). They use this toolbox in mechatronics /robotics projects to drive servo-motors, stepper motors, read sensors, etc., and it will make your life a lot easier.

The project is called 'rtmc9S12-Target' and can be found at:

A short manual has also been included.
