NOTE

The last line is reported from the Embedded Bootloader on the PCB. This version number is only sent to the PC from power up (not on reset).

3.1.5 Changing the NVM Data in Flash or File

If users click on an application in the list, it displays the NVM values in the selected application file. If the uploaded application supports NVM dump, it is possible to read the NVM from the board.

The NVM data can be changed in two different ways:

1.If the uploaded application does not support NVM data editing it is possible to edit the NVM data in the application file before it is uploaded to the board and save it back in the application file for later upload.

2.If the uploaded application does support NVM data editing it is possible to edit the NVM data after the board has been uploaded with the application. For example, the file contains default values. The Freescale EVK PTC application supports this feature.

NOTE

No production specific information is available in this example window.

Use caution when editing the clock related configuration values. The values must match each other. There is no sanity check on the user entered values, though there is a check on length. See the MC908HCS08GB60/GT60 MCU Data Sheet, MC9S08GB60/D about how to specify valid register values for the HCS08.
