Today's tip concerns P&E's Cyclone automated programmers. With the release of the Cyclone Automated Control Package,
users have been inquiring if there is a way to automate the creation of stand-alone
images. Fortunately, with the standard Cyclone
PRO/MAX installations, users already have command-line executables that
can accomplish this task.

P&E's Cyclone PRO makes it very simple to program both the Flash
and EEPROM on your target HC08/HCS08/HC(S)12(X) device. There is a
unique algorithm for each device and the type of memory, so the first
step is to determine the correct algorithm for your setup. A list of
all of our algorithms is located 
When you need to convert between object file formats, download one
of P&E's free, C language development kits. These kits include a
full GNU compiler toolchain, including Binutils OBJCOPY.
