Failed to install CodeWarrior

Hi,

I'm trying to install CodeWarrior for MPC5xx v8.7, but I failed.

Does anyone has any idea how to install it?

Hi,

please notice that CodeWarrior for MPC5xx v8.7 is supported on Windows XP only. It’s old product, it’s not compatible with Windows 7, 10 or 11. Because MPC5xx are not recommended for new designs, there are no plans to update the CodeWarrior. I’m afraid that the only option is to get Win XP. Sorry for inconvenience.

BR, Petr

Thanks for the information.

I am new to CodeWarrior and also new to MPC5xxx, the reason that I was tried to install CodeWarrior is that I was following the document of Autosar CP MPC5xxx sample application.

If MPC5xx is not recommended for new project, what is the recommended?

I'm trying to find a chip that has autosar mcal & os, from this page:

so maybe s32k?
