Hello,

we have a control unit which uses NXP MC9S12XEQ microcontroller.
We do have PE micro USB Multilink debug probe.


As I understand, in order to flash a firmware onto the microcontroller, we require a license for the PROG software.
When looking on the PROG software details website, I see different license options:

Orderable Part Numbers:
PROG-HL-ARM : $199
PROG-HL-12Z : $199
PROG-HL-16Z : $199
PROG-HL-32Z : $199
PROG-HL-CFV1 : $199
PROG-HL-CFZ : $199
PROG-HL-HCS08 : $199
PROG-HL-PPCNEXUS : $199
PROG-HL-PPCZ : $199
PROG-HL-RS08 : $199
PROG-HL-S12Z : $199



Unfortunately, I do not see S12X in the list.


Can you please let me know which PROG version/license option is suitable to flash MC9S12XEQ microcontrollers?


Thank you and best regards.

Hello Alex,

Thank you for contacting us - yes currently it is not nearly as easy as it should be on our website to determine the appropriate part number for non-ARM devices, which involves searching the algorithm lists... and even then it's not 100% straightforward. My apologies, hopefully we can improve this.

The part number you're looking for to program NXP MC9S12XEQ devices is PROG-HL-12Z.

Your part should appear in this related algorithm listing:

If you don't see it or have any questions, please let me know.

Sincerely,
Keith
