Introduction

This chapter describes the HC(S)08 Compiler that is part of the CodeWarrior Development Studio for Microcontrollers V10.x. The Compiler consists of a Frontend, which is language-dependent, and a Backend, which is hardware-dependent and generates object code specific to HC08 and HCS08. Chapters one and two describe the configuration and creation of projects that target HC08 and HCS08 microcontrollers. Chapter three describes the Compiler in greater detail.
