Whole-in-one 8bit microcontroller development
The CodeWarrior Development Studio for Motorola HC08 microcontrollers is a comprehensive toolsuite that delivers the capabilities required by every engineer in the development cycle.
The solution is designed to help developers working in Motorola HC(S)12 microcontroller environments easily generate compact, full-featured and reliable applications.
The Encirq 3e Data Management Suite allows developers to create custom, application-specific data management components as inline C-language source code, which helps automate embedded development for applications managing real-time data and devices.
Examples of these devices include automotive instrumentation controls, vending machines, energy meters, security systems, industrial controllers, phone systems and home appliances.

Tools help teach C and Java programming
Metrowerks is helping make programming easier to learn with the newest version of its educational tool, CodeWarrior Learning Edition v3.
"The CodeWarrior Development Studio, Data Expert Edition is the most complete development tool for bringing applications from concept to functional prototype within Motorola 16bit microcontroller environments", said Mark Vogel, founder and Chief Executive Officer, Encirq.
"The product helps developers speed and simplify the creation of high-quality HC(S)12 embedded applications".
CodeWarrior Development Studio for HC(S)12, Data Expert Edition uses a simple high-level standard language to generate C code directly into the CodeWarrior project environment.
The code can then be merged with other application code and automatically optimised to take full advantage of the HC(S)12 features.
CodeWarrior Development Studio for HC(S)12, Data Expert Edition components include: an extended debug module with an emulator-like tracking capability to facilitate the development of complex applications to help reduce costs associated with expensive emulators, while offering the same information needed to produce quality end products; Metrowerks' integrated development environment (IDE), version 5.5 with docking windows and project wizard to facilitate the creation of projects; the Processor Expert design tool for new derivatives; I/O stimulation for validation of large portions of code prior to hardware availability and for real-time control of various stimuli to the application; and data visualisation capabilities for graphical representation of hardware, enabling the user to test and verify the operation of the application.
Evaluation CDs of CodeWarrior Development Studio for HC(S)12, Data Expert Edition are available immediately.
CodeWarrior Development Studio for HC(S)12, Data Expert Edition is priced at US $7995 and is available now.
One year of technical support from Metrowerks may be purchased for $1200.
