"Free" Assembler And Emulator For The 68HC11/12? 8
V. asks: "Our local LUG is working on a roving webcam robot. In order
to drive the motors we are planning to use a 68HC12 ucontroller.
I've found some patches against an old release of gcc and egcs
that will add support for this ucontroller but I don't think
they are part of the normal gcc distribution. I'm wondering
if anyone knows where I can find a Free(as in GPL) assembler
and emu for the 68HC12 that aren't a pain to compile/install.
I doubt there is anything apt-get-able but then again I really
wouldn't know since the extent of my assembler and hardware
experience is working with xspim for about a semester many moons ago."

Freshmeat is your friend. This then points you at the ASM11 [aspisys.com] assembler, which then leads you to the 68HCxx webring [webring.org].
That should get you started.

I recently used this toolchain in a EE senior design project (at school) and it saved me a lot of time and headache. Write your code in C, compile and link it for the 68HC12, and download it. Could not be easier. There is also a mailing list to post questions/problems to about this port as well.
The 68HC12 is a great microcontroller, and with these tools, Linux becomes an excellent development host. Good luck!- ---------------------------------

Over the years, I've lost most of them. I did however obtain them through the Motorola BBS. I don't know if it is still in operation, but I do remember them having all sorts of unsupported goodies, such as a C compiler for most Microcontrollers, (68HC05, 11, 16 etc) and the source code was there as well.

When I took a microprocessors class several years ago, we used free C compilers and Assemblers for the 68HC11, but unfortunately they were for MS-DOS.
I hacked the as12 assembler source. (Score:1)
