.mcp file needed for a MC68332

magicmarker — Thu, 20 Feb 2014 14:14:57 GMT

Hi, I'm looking for a .mcp file for a MC68332 (yes I know it about a decade old). I have to port some code that runs on an older board to the Code Warrior environment so that I can make mods and debug. I downloaded the version of CW for the 68K/Coldfire but none of the Stationary files seem to correspond to a 683xx Does anyone out there have a .mcp (or stationary) file that I could use or can suggest an approach?

Many thanks

Search for "mcp file" and see what others have been asking in the past. This refers to "CW 68k" which implies

Re: Migrating 68332 HiWare project to CodeWarrior 68K

I'm looking through the CW Fact Sheets, (CodeWarrior Development Suites Overview Factsheet (pdf)) and the only one that is listed there to support the 68k is the $4995 "Pro Suite". Searching finds me this - is this the one you got?

CodeWarrior Development Studio for 68K Embedded Systems (Classic IDE)

That says it supports the 68332. It does not support any ColdFire chips, so you may have got the wrong one if you say you have one for '68K/Coldfire". Which one did you get?

8 years since the Last Time Buy notices, and available from 1998 or so. I used one in a project in 2000 or so.

I don't know what the "stationary" is meant to control (as I've never used CW). All you should need is something that knows about the project files (and how to make them), the target and the memory map for linking. It may even nominate the low-level startup and initialization files.

Since you have an existing project, you should have all of the files, the "makefile" and the linker command file in some form or other. So it is a matter of making a "minimum" project and then editing it to match the 68332 with your files. That is, if that version of CW will let you do that.

You may get a better audience for your questions under the CW forums.

Why do you "have to port" just to "edit and debug"? What's wrong with the old build system? You may be better off resurrecting it, or getting it running in a VM if it won't run on Windows 7 or 8.

If all else fails, compile it with gcc, either "native" under Linux (preferable), under cygwin (a pain) or a ported version.

Thanks for the advise.

On the Freescale website, the have a page that claims to list the hardware

and software development tools that support the 68332.

http://www.freescale.com/webapp/sps/site/prod_summary.jsp?code=MC68332&fpsp=1&tab=Design_Tools_Tab

However, the CodeWarrior install file is is named CW_68K_V3.2. This is

the same file that I downloaded and installed a couple of days ago.

I finally tried setting up a project based upon the M68ez328ADS (under

File->New). This seems to be the closest target and under the

Code Generation there is a MC68xxx Processer selection and under Linker

there is MC 68K Linker.

So evidently this is the best choice available from Freescale for the MC

683xx proecessor. I''m going give it a go.

Thanks again.
