C6808 is Flexis-able

|

FAEs who are planning to introduce their clients to the MC9S08QE128 Flexis part should contact fae@bytecraft.com for more information about our support.

Flexis' paged memory model can benefit from a compiler's calculations. Optimization during linking allows a compiler to distinguish between different types of cross-page references.

eTPU_C

The Design of eTPU functions

We've posted a general overview of ETPU_functions, our implementation of eTPU_C channel functions in C. If you're considering eTPU for your design, learn how eTPU_C can make programming for eTPU intuitive. The paper discusses the specific programming style for ETPU_functions, and the facilities available for exposing eTPU channel functions to the host processor program.

Moving from HC05 to HC08

|

With development support for the RS08, it makes sense to move old designs from the venerable HC05 to one of the current cores. This article gives some pointers on moving C6805 projects to C6808.
