CW 5.1 and multiple targets

Eric_t — Tue, 14 Jun 2016 11:14:18 GMT

Hi,

Currently I am working with CW5.1 and mc9sxdt512 controller.

I have to develop a firmware that it should run on different PCBs.

One PCB should support CAN BUS and it has a crystal of 16MHz.

The second will not support CAN BUS and it has crystal of 14.7MHz.

My thought is to have one project and two targets, named as following:

XDT512_CAN_BUS_16MHZ

XDT512_NO_CAN_BUS_14MHZ

Since the PCB have different crystals I should have two bootloaders.

Bootloader_CRYSTAL_14745600_XDT512.s19

Bootloader_CRYSTAL_16000000_XDT512.s19

The prm file should know what target is selected so it should merge the appropriate bootloader with HEXFILE command.

Also depending on the target, the canbus files should be included or not.

Unfortunatelly I cannot find a way to do it.

Does anyone know how it can be done or have any other suggestion?

Thank you

one solution is as follows:

1. create a new target

the two targets name can be "Standard-CAN","Standard-NOCAN"

2.set macro in each of the target compiler setting, for different target, macro __IFCAN value is different.

3. in C code, use this code to identify different target

I will attach my testing code and video.

can this help you?

Have a great day,
Jennie Zhang

Hi Jennie,

Thank you for the response.

Can we do the same thing on prm file?

Since targets "Standard-CAN" and "Standard-NOCAN" have different crystals, I should have different bootloaders.

Can we have something like:

#ifdef __IFCAN

HEXFILE Boot_16.s19

#else

HEXFILE Boot_14.s19

#endif

Thank you

Hi Eric.

I don't think prm file can support C syntax.

in this case, I suggest you create two prm files:

boot_can.prm for Standard-CAN target. boot_nocan.prm for Standard-NOCAN target.

in linker setting, choose different prm for different target.

I will attached my revised demo code and video.

does this answer your question?

Have a great day,

Hi Jennie,

Thank you for the response. It really helps me.

Also I need something more.

Is it possible to have different c and h files according to selected target?

For a example at Standard-CAN target, the compile will join the canbus files (about 20 files) while at Standard-NOCAN target it will not.

Is it something that can be done?

Thank you.

Hi Eric,

yes, the same can work for files.

for example ,you want to add a file to Standard-CAN target only. see attached video. after that you will see the black dot show under the target column for Standard-CAN target.

does this answer your question?

Have a great day,

Hi, Jennie

Thank you for the response.

This is exactly what I need.

My client has just change his request and now he wants the Standard-NOCAN solution to support also the mc9s12dg256 controller.

So we have:

Standard-CAN target for mc9s12xdt512

Standard-NOCAN target for mc9s12xdt512 and mc9s12dg256.

Is there a way to make the Standard-NOCAN target to support both controllers?

Does it needed a new target solution for mc9s12dg256?

Thank you

Hi,

yes, you could.

my suggestion is to use C macro definition. for example

#define CHIP_1

　　.............

　　#ifdef CHIP_1

　　 // chip 1 code

　　#else

　　 chip 2 code

　　#endif

Have a great day,
