Learning to program the MFC51CN
What's the best resource for learning about the MFC51CN? Is there a good tutorial available? The reference manual is fairly helpful but I'm sure there's a better way to get started.

More detail about the MCF51CN is posted at http://www.freescale.com/webapp/sps/site/prod_summary.jsp?code=MCF5.... Data sheets, application notes, collateral, etc. DigiKey has posted a new Product Training Module for the MCF51CN at http://digikey.com/PTM/PTMMaster.page?WT.mc_id=hp_PTM&site=us&a... (search under Freescale, "MCF51CN Family - Ultimate Ethernet Solutions ").

I think you discovered the answer, but I want to make sure to share it with the rest of the towergeeks community. If you use CodeWarrior for Microcontrollers you can take advantage of a built in tool called Processor Expert or Device Initialization. This tool allows you to configure I/O parameters by answering some basic questions. For example, if you want to configure a pin to drive a PWM signal. You can configure the frequency, duty cycle, and starting polarity parameters and Processor expert auto generates the code for you. It also shows you the register configuration to perform that action. You can take this information and learn on how to properly program the MCF51CN128 or any other Freescale device.
Or you can do what I do and just wing it until you get it right.

I also need a good tutorial. The demos are not enough to undestand how the tower works... Where can I find it? For example, I just want to turn a Led with a Button. How do I do it?
