Starter Kit for Freescale MC9S12NE64
Starter Kit for Freescale MC9S12NE64

The AK-S12NE64-A Starter Kit is an integrated system designed to provide the user with a complete, ready-to-use embedded Ethernet application. The Starter Kit is built around the Freescale MC9S12NE64 microcontroller, which has a built-in, dedicated Ethernet peripheral. The Starter Kit demonstrates how effectively the MC9S12NE family of microcontrollers can be used in real-world embedded Ethernet applications.

The Starter Kit is composed of:

  • A general purpose evaluation board (including LEDs, a DC motor, a temperature sensor, a buzzer, a serial connector, a potentiometer, DIP-switches and push-buttons)
  • A Core Module board (including the MC9S12NE64 microcontroller, external FLASH and EEPROM memory, an Ethernet connector and a BDM connector)
  • Software (including free source code of the TCP/IP stack)

The Starter Kit can be used in two ways:

  • For demonstration purposes. The Starter Kit works as a web server. Connect the board to your local network and use a standard browser to access HTML pages. A JAVA applet is provided which allows the board to be controlled through a browser. With the provided software utilities you can upload your own HTML pages, images, etc. and access them through any PC in your LAN.
  • For user application development. A complete, integrated development environment is provided, which allows you to write your own software, download it to the MC9S12NE64 microcontroller and debug it. Downloading and debugging your application is possible through a serial monitor pre-programmed in the microcontroller. The Starter Kit includes full source codes of the TCP/IP protocol together with full documentation for an easy porting to your custom application.
