Disclaimer: Just so it is understood, the "rantings and ravings" are
MY rantings and ravings. My readers are refined and sophisticated
and would never rant or rave. I, on the other hand, sit in front of
the TV in torn underwear and drink beer out of the bottle.

Well gang, this should be my last post of the 68hc11 FAQ. I'm
turning this FAQ over to Bob Boys who never ceases to complain about
my FAQs being more popular than his Motorola 68K FAQ. Maybe he'll
stop whining now :-).

Seriously, I'm finding it harder and harder to find the time to do
justice to my FAQs. I'm afraid the 68hc11 FAQ suffered the most.
That's where Bob comes in. Besides being a first class beer drinker,
he already has experience with FAQs (Motorola 68K and VME bus). I'm
sure that Bob will infuse much needed life into this FAQ.

I thank all of you for your kind assistance and encouragement during
the time I worked on this FAQ. It may sound like a cliche, but the
Internet is a great place to live. I've met a lot of friends and I'm
having a great time. Someday, we'll all have to get together and
drink some beer. See ya around.

Thanks to Motorola for sending me a set of their famous "pink books".
This is a really great collection of reference material. I wish that
the manufacturers' literature for other microcontrollers (the 8051
for example) was of such high quality. These books are definitely
not for the beginner, but if you are into the hc11, these books are a
must. A real first class effort on Motorola's part!

The Imagecraft C compiler, ICC11 V3, is now shipping. It includes a
Windows IDE with integrated editor, terminal program and the ability
to operate compiler tools and options. A make utility and library
source are included along with the field proven compiler tools. Price
$100. For more info, check out the Webpage http://www.imagecraft.com
or Email to [email protected].

Dunfield Development Systems has just released version 3.14 of their
C development tools. They also have a new web page and new email
addresses:

1) ABOUT THIS FAQ

1.1) Who put this FAQ together?

I started by putting together a FAQ on the 8051 microcontroller in
response to my own frustration in finding information. The FAQ has
now been out for some time and has been very well received. One of
the questions that I'm frequently asked is if I know of a FAQ on the
68hc11. Not only that, but how many times have you seen the
following questions posted on the newsgroups: "anyone know of a C
compiler for the 68hc11?", "anyone know of an assembler for the
68hc11?", and so on.

Therefore, I decided to jump in and try my hand again. I figured
that this would be a good learning experience. From what I've seen
so far, the 68hc11 is a good chip, and well worth learning and
developing with. I really don't have any experience with the 68hc11
(yet), so I'm going to need everyone's help on this. Just as with
the 8051 FAQ, with everyone's help this FAQ should turn out to be a
pretty useful document.

1.2) How can I contribute to this list?

I please ask that if you have any suggestions or additions, or you
would like to correct any of the information contained herein, please
send me a note.
My Email address is: [email protected]
My Smail address is:

The list of individuals who have sent suggestions and encouragement
has overflowed. I hope it suffices to say "Thank you to all who have
contributed to this FAQ - we all appreciate it."

Special thanks to:
David Dunfield (Dunfield Development Systems)
Bob Boys (maintainer of the superb Mot. 68K FAQ)
Forrest Cook
Carl Barnes (Technological Arts)
Jens Holm
Patrick Campbell (Mosaic Industries)
Ken Hornstein

Very special thanks to Ping Huang and Thomas Koenig of the
news.answers moderators team for all of their help.

I certainly hope that those of you who know of interesting items for
the 68hc11 will share with everyone by contributing to this list.

If you are a manufacturer and have an anonymous ftp site available
that supports the 68hc11, please let me know by Email so that I can
add it to this FAQ. Also please feel free to keep me updated on your
products.

1.3) What newsgroups will this FAQ be posted to?

This FAQ will be posted to the following newsgroups:
comp.realtime
comp.robotics
sci.electronics
comp.answers
sci.answers
news.answers
The first three newsgroups often contain discussions, announcements,
or information on the 68hc11. Check them out from time to time. By
posting to the *.answers newsgroups, the FAQ will automatically be
archived. The archive name of this FAQ (also included in the header)
is: microcontroller-faq/68hc11.

The schedule for posting will be once a month. I can't promise that
it will be on time, but I hope to post it on the 26th of each month.

You might also want to check out the following newsgroups, since they
occasionally have items of interest for you 68hc11 users.
comp.sys.m6809
comp.sys.m68k
comp.lang.misc
comp.arch.embedded
alt.comp.hardware.homebuilt

A bit farther afield, but still of possible interest:
comp.ai.fuzzy
comp.dsp
sci.engr.control
sci.engr.semiconductors

1.4) May I post this FAQ to my local BBS?

I am putting no restrictions on the use of this FAQ except - It must
be distributed in its entirety with the copyright notice, and no
financial gain may be realized from it. After all, I have spent, and
continue to spend, a lot of time on this, and the only thing that I
intend to gain from it is more information on the 68hc11, and getting
to know my fellow 68hc11 groupies better.

For this reason I have appended a copyright statement to the end of
this FAQ. I feel pretty silly doing this, but I just want to protect
myself. The copyright does not limit the use of this list for
noncommercial purposes. I hereby give my permission to one and all
to pass this list around and post it wherever you want - as long as
it is not for financial gain.

Thank you.

1.5) How about FAQs on other microcontrollers?

If anyone wishes to start a FAQ on another microcontroller, please
feel free to copy the format of this FAQ - I don't intend on
copyrighting the look and feel ;-). With a common format, we will
all benefit when trying to find information on a particular
microcontroller.

If anyone has any comments on the format itself, I'm open for
suggestions.

2) ABOUT THE 68hc11

2.1) The 68hc11 microcontroller

General

The 68hc11 is a powerful 8-bit data, 16-bit address microcontroller
from Motorola with an instruction set that is similar to the older
68xx (6801, 6805, 6809) parts. Depending on the variety, the 68hc11
has built-in EEPROM/OTPROM, RAM, digital I/O, timers, A/D converter,
PWM generator, and synchronous and ansynchronous communications
channels (RS232 and SPI). Typical current draw is less than 10ma.

Architecture

CPU has two 8 bit accumulators (A & B) that can be concatenated to
provide a 16 bit double accumulator (D). Two 16 bit index registers
are present (X,Y) to provide indexing to anywhere in the memory map.
Having the two index registers means the 68hc11 is very good for
processing data. Although an eight bit processor, the 68hc11 has
some 16 bit instructions (add, subtract, 16 * 16 divide, 8 * 8
mulitply, shift, and rotates). A 16 bit stack pointer is also
present, and instructions are provided for stack manipulation.
Typically multiplexed address and data bus.

Onboard subsystems

Timer - Main timer system comprises of a single 16 bit counter
clocked at the E clock (2,3,or 4 Mhz - there is a programmable
prescaler to slow it down if required). From this single counter run
a number of input capture and output compare registers (3-4 IC, 5 -
4 OC). The IC and OC functions are very versatile, and pulses as
short as 1 E clock can be generated.

A-D Convertor - Typically 8 channel 8 bit A/D, although the G5 has a
10 bit A/D.

Serial Communications Interface (SCI) - Asynchronous serial
communications; Data format - 1 Start, 8 or 9 data, and one stop bit.
Data rate - 150 - 312500 Baud (312500 is using 4 mhz E clock)

Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) - Synchronous serial
communications, comprises CLK, DATA IN, DATA OUT and optionally chip
selects. As well as using specific SPI devices, it is very easy to
expand IO using the SPI and standard logic devices (e.g. 74HC595 and
74HC165).

2.2) 68hc11 flavors

The following are Motorola flavors:

HC11 A Series
8K ROM (A8), ROMless (A0,A1), 256 RAM, 512 EEPROM (A1,A8), SPI,
SCI, 3 IC 5 OC, 8 channel 8 bit A/D

HC11 C0
Nice new device developed together with AT&T. ROMless, on board
bank switching to support memory maps of up to 256K. Totally
glueless interface - Chip selects on board, Read Enable and
Write Enable signals now generated on chip. 256 RAM, 8 channel 8
bit A/D - Good pricing

HC11 D Series
Smallest and lowest cost member of the hc11 Family. ROMless (D0),
4K ROM (D3), 4K EPROM (711D3) - No A-D or EEPROM. Still has
standard timers and serial ports

HC11 E Series
Same as A series execpt 512 bytes RAM and 512 EEPROM (2048 for
E2). Pin compatible, only difference is one timer pin (PA4) can
now be used for IC or OC instect of just OC. Also have EPROM
devices and larger memory - hc711e9 (12K OTP), hc711e20 (20K
OTP)

HC11 F series
ROMless, non multiplexed address/data bus with 4 chip selects
built in. 1K RAM, 512 bytes EEPROM - otherwise same peripherals
as E series

HC11 G Series
16K ROM/EPROM, Non mulitplexed address/data bus, 512 RAM, 4
channel PWM, 10 Bit A/D convertor, 2 separate 16 bit timers

HC11 K4
24K ROM/EPROM, 1Mb addressing using on chip memory mapping. Non
multiplexed address and data bus. 4 programmable chip selects, 8
channel 8 bit A/D. 4 channel PWM, 768 bytes RAM

Toshiba second-sources the 68hc11, and they list the following
variants: A0/A1/A8 and E0/E1/E9.

For a nice breakdown of the 68hc11 line, check out the file
taxonomy.txt at cherupakha.media.mit.edu : /pub/miniboard/hobby-tips.
The file contains a table detailing all of the possible combinations
that the 68hc11 is supplied in.

2.3) Sources and prices

Sources?? Prices?? Hell - you can't even find the suckers! For
those of you who remember the old Chicken Man series on radio, "He's
everywhere! He's everywhere!" - the 68hc11 is not Chicken Man. The
68hc11 - "It's nowhere, it's nowhere!" I remember one episode in
which our hero was fighting against an evil plot to steal all of the
refrigerator light bulbs in the world. Well, maybe the same thing
happened with the 68hc11 - they just can't be found.

Maybe it's just a clever scam. The 68hc11 really doesn't exist.
Instead, Motorola cobbled together a microprocessor using an Intel
8051 running an emulation of the 68hc11 instruction set (Intel
Inside?).

Ruud Schramp found some in the Netherlands (sounds like an
appropriate place to find them). The breakdown is as follows
(1 US dollar =+- Dfl 1.70):
Main Importer of Holland Dfl 15.-- (quantity >100)
Main Importer of Holland Dfl 19.-- (if you buy 1 and if they
want to sell 1)
Distributor Dfl 25.-- (also no single sales)
Shop (Display Electronica) Dfl 35.-- (quantity 1)

Also, the 68hc11 can be found at the following places:

Active Electronics

BBS: 408-494-1430

They list the 68HC11A1P (48 pin DIP version) at $11.95 in their
1994 electronic component catalog (#37). They have lots of other
good stuff in the catalog. No minimum order.

Newark Electronics

Catalog number 112 indicates that the carry Motorola micros
(including the HC11 family. These guys are big distributors, so
they can probably get any part in the HC11 family, but they
probably won't be cheap.

Prices shown in their 1992 catalog are:

MC68HC11E0FN (PLCC version) lists at $21.26
MC68HC11E1FN (PLCC version) lists at $22.36

B.G. Micro
P.O.B. 280298
Dallas, TX 75228
(214)271-5546

They usually have a couple varieties at good prices.

2.4) Advantages realized in implementing control applications on this
family of microcontrollers

Traditional architecture - a more traditional architecture than other
competing products (such as the 8051 and PIC) makes it easier to
learn and develop on (especially well-suited for teaching
microcontrollers)

More features - a 68hc11 is typically a "one-chip" solution since it
often includes such items as A/D, PWM, and many I/O lines

Popular - widely used since it is very inexpensive and has a wide
range of development tools available (both freeware and commercial)

4) 68hc11 PRODUCTS

This section includes descriptions and references to free and
commercial software for the 68hc11. FTP sites and BBSs contain many
quality packages and code samples for free. For heavy duty use, you
might prefer the many commercial packages that are available. Some
very high quality, low-priced packages are available which are
suitable for both the hobbyist and professional on a limited budget.
With the public domain (or free) stuff, you're usually on your own.
The commercial packages usually provide extensive documentation and
support.

4.1) Free languages and development tools

I've been playing with the Dunfield Development System lately (on the
8051), and it's really quite nice. I've also heard many good things
about it from others. It includes a near ANSI-C compiler, run-time
library with source, assembler, ROM debugger, integrated development
environment, monitor with source, utilities, and other extras.
Although not freeware, the low price ($100), the features, all of the
extra goodies, and the good reviews make this a package worth looking
at. Also, if you're interested in working on more than one family of
microcontroller, Dunfield supports a wide range. This means only
needing to learn one system, instead of many.

Another decent C compiler comes from ImageCraft. Version 3 is now
shipping. It includes a near ANSI C compiler, a Windows IDE with
integrated editor, terminal program, and the ability to operate
compiler tools and options. A make utility and library source are
included along with the field proven compiler tools. Price $100. For
more info, check out the Webpage http://www.imagecraft.com or Email
to [email protected].

Inquisitor Magazine
- If you're the type that watched Gilligan's Island for its
socio-political insights, then you'll love a new 'zine that
just crossed my desk - Inquisitor Magazine. It's general
philosophy seems to be ... well, it seems to be ... uh, yeah!
Technical in nature, bizarre, tongue in cheek, eclectic,
electric, did I mention bizarre(?), and lots of fun. Worth
looking at if you like the out of the ordinary. The moving
force behind this magazine is Daniel Drennan, who seems to have
suffered from an overdose of radiation from his computer
monitor ;-).
