Executable files that MCU programmers make

[phongle119]

HI all,
I tried to used many different compiler for HCS12 such as IAR, codewarior,cosmic,
-->most of them out put a excutable file or some other format but not .S12 record file which is the want that we can download to the board.

Anyone know what is the purpose of these executable file( because we don't wanna execute it on the computer ofcourse).
Are these file use for programmer or the burner to burn the program into the MCU.

Re: Mcu programmer

Actually you should get a file with '.mot' extension.
The data should start approximately with:

S0030000FC
S2140FE000758F885200BE0FF43209758F885202BE84
S2140FE0100FF42809758F885204BE0FF41E09758FEA

for instance. Usually you can set some options for your linker to get such an output file. Maybe that's the fault. Take a look in the linker command line reference.
