GETTING STARTED
The Axiom CME-12B/BC single board computer is a fully assembled, fully functional
development system for the Motorola 68HC12B32 and BC32 microcontrollers, complete with
wall plug power supply and serial cable. Support software for this development board is
provided for Windows 95 and NT operating systems and DOS.
Follow the steps in this section to get started quickly and verify everything is working correctly.
Installing the Software
1. Insert the Axiom 68HC12 support disk in your PC. If the setup program does not start, run
the file called "SETUP.EXE" on the disk.
2. Follow the instructions on screen to install the support software onto your PC.

provided AXIDE or AX12 terminal program (installed in the previous section) or a similar
communications terminal program on your PC. If you're using a different terminal program
