How to download and install TExaS
A) Go to Cengage site http://www.cengage.com/engineering/valvano
B) Click Student Companion Site for Introduction to Embedded Systems: Interfacing to the Freescale 9S12, 1st Edition
C) Click TExaS Software (on left)
D) Download 54 Meg zip file and unzip
E) Execute setup.exe in folder created by the zip file.
F) In Setup Type, choose Custom.
G) Select only 9S12DP (whatever microcontroller you will be using). The GCC is a huge and not very efficient compiler, and the examples and manuals on the web are more recent.
H) Delete zip file and the folder created containing the setup.exe.
