CodeWarrior Groups

These groups and their usual functions are:

• Sources

  This group contains the assembly source code files.

• Project_Settings
  • Debugger

    The Debugger folder stores the memory configuration file containing commands that define the legally accessible areas of memory for your specific part, the launch configuration file, and the debug configuration file.

  • Linker Files

    This group contains the linker command file ( .prm).

  • Startup Code

    This group contains the source code that manages the Microcontrollers initialization and startup functions. For S12Z derivatives, these functions appear in the source file start.c.

• Project_Headers

  This group holds include files. One include file is for the particular CPU derivative. In this case, the mc9s12zvh64.inc file is for the MC9S12ZVH64 derivative.

  Note: The default configuration of the project by the wizard does not generate an assembler output listing file for every *.asm source file. However, you can afterwards select Generate a listing file in the assembler options for the Assembler to generate a format-configurable listing file of the assembly source code (with the inclusion of include files, if desired). Assembler listing files (with the *.lst file extension) are located in the project directory when *.asm files are assembled with this option set.

This initial building of your project shows whether it is created and configured correctly. Now, you can utilize some of the CodeWarrior IDE features for managing your project.

However, it is not at all necessary to rename files and groups in the CodeWarrior IDE, so you can skip the following sections and resume the Assembler part of this tutorial at Writing your Assembly Source Files.
