Software compatibility of Motorola microcontrollers

Abstract

Program equipment of microcnntrollers is in most cases developed in assembly language, which is very near processor's code. Program created this way occupies after compilation less memory and primarily run quicker than identical program created in higher programming language. Big drawback is longer development time and dependence on concrete type of microcontroller. In order to transform program equipment an application has been created, which makes it possible to automatically convert the instruction set of M68HC11 onto M68HC0S, which considerably precipitates the conversion process of already existing applications on this platform.
