Re: HC12

You can get a nice development board from:

or
http://www.technologicalarts.com
or
http://www.axman.com/

I recommend starting with a board that uses the 9s12DP256 CPU, which
also has a d-bug12 monitor in flash to help you test programs that run
in RAM. These connect to a PC using a serial port.

If you need to use flash memory, I'd get a board based on the 9s12C32,
which can easily program your flash memory over a serial port.

There's a nice gcc C compiler for both Windows and Linux:

I make free Windows IDEs for both assembler and gcc.
