-Freescale HC1x platform has been around from 1990s which makes it affordable, well tested and stable candidates for embedded projects. Documentations can be downloaded free of charge from Freescale Semiconductor's website. GNU tool chain has been ported and tested on HC1x MCUs [1]. BDM features of HC12 series provide ease of transfer, testing and debugging codes to MCUs. We have decided to use HCS12 hardware as the host system for μC/OS.

 In this lab we are going to make a simple C program to turn on the LEDs on the 7-segment display module of Dragon12 board. The 7-segment display is connected to PORTB of microprocessor. We will use Data Direction Register for Port B (DDRB) to mark all the Port B's pins to output. This can be done by calling DDRB = 0xff

+==== Reference Manuals ====
+Please note all the drivers to run the subsystems of the Dragon12 board will be provided and you don't need to write any driver code. However, in case you want to look at the official manuals of //MC9S12DG256B// they can be found in the course directory or on-line at
