CodeWarrior Development Studio for HC08

CodeWarrior Development Studio for HC08 by Freescale is a Windows-based integrated development environment designed for building, debugging, and optimizing embedded applications on Freescale’s HC08 8-bit microcontrollers. It brings together an optimizing C compiler, assembler/linker, project manager, and source-level debugger in a single, streamlined toolchain tailored to small-footprint, cost-sensitive designs.

Key features:

• Optimizing C and assembly toolchain focused on code size and performance for HC08 devices
• Integrated editor, build system, and project wizards with device-specific startup and linker templates
• On-chip debugging and flash programming via MON08 (and BDM where available), with support for popular interfaces such as P&E Micro Multilink/Cyclone
• Mixed C/assembly debugging, memory/register/peripheral views, breakpoints, and trace
• Device headers and peripheral register definitions for HC08 families, plus sample projects and libraries
• Optional Processor Expert component framework to generate initialization code and peripheral drivers for supported parts
• Scalable editions, including an entry-level option with a code-size-limited license suitable for evaluation and small projects

Ideal for developers targeting consumer, industrial, and automotive 8-bit applications, CodeWarrior for HC08 shortens bring-up time and helps teams deliver reliable firmware on resource-constrained hardware.
