Step-by-Step Installation Instructions
In this Quick Start Guide, you will learn how to set up the
TWR-S12GN32 board and run the default exercise.
STEP
1
Install Software
and Tools
STEP
• Install CodeWarrior Development
Studio for S12 v5.1 or later
A 30 evaluation license of CodeWarrior is included
on the DVD for your convenience. For updates,
please visit
freescale.com/TWR-S12GN32.
Connect one end of the USB
cable to the PC and the other end to the
mini-B connector on the TWR-S12GN32
board. Allow the PC to automatically
configure the USB drivers if needed.

Learn More About the
S12GN32
The pre-loaded example utilizes the TWR-
S12GN32’s push button switches, serial
communications interface and LEDs.
Once the board is plugged in you can
control the bank of four LEDs by pushing
one of the four on-board push buttons
(SW1–4). Connect the included serial
adapter to J8 and start a terminal in your
computer (9600 bauds, eight data bits,
one stop bit, no parity). You should see
the keystrokes echoed by the device.
Release notes and documentation are
available on the DVD and at
freescale.com/S12G.
