Creating a library in CodeWarrior 5.7 for MSC8126 (StarCore SC140)

We purchased a package in source form from a vendor for inclusion in our product. They supplied a makefile to make a library, that uses "dsplib". When I asked, they indicated that it was part of the MetroWerks Tool Set.

We are using CodeWarrior 5.7. (I don't know if this is the current version.) I don't find "dsplib" as one of the executable tools (but I could be looking in the wrong place). Is this a separate tool, is this approach obsolete, or what?

I don't think a "standalone library" is what I want. (I could be wrong about this, as well.)

Hello

We do not have any file called dsplib in our CodeWarrior for StarCore Product.

Please check with your provider which toolset he is referring to.

He is probably referring to the 56K CLAS development software that Motorola distributed with the DSP56002, and probably with the current DSP563xx family.

I looked in my CLAS directory, and there is indeed a "DSPLIB.exe" file in there. It is a DOS program, like most of CLAS. I have never used it, but I assume it builds libraries from object files, since that is about the only thing I haven't had to do.

After serious digging through the help files, and doing some experimenting, it appears that dsplib functionality is now provided by sc100-ar, and invoked by setting the Target to "DSP Librarian".

My best guess is that the vendor is using an OLD version of the Metrowerks Tool Set, probably one that predates the CodeWarrior IDE.
