Hello steel-tig,
Thanks for your reply! I'm using a Toshiba 6100 Series Laptop without any add-on cards. It was the BIOS. Please see below...

Hi Marno,
The Command Converter/Server attempts to get it's parallel port information from the BIOS of your computer. Sometimes this process won't work, for instance if you are using and add-on card, or if your BIOS is simply incompatible. In these instances the port address must be set manually.
Pre 7.2 version of Hybrid will require a patch. If you have 7.2 or later, skip to step 3.
1) Go into your existing Hybrid installation folder and back up the CCS folder so you can put things back to where they are now later if you want.
2) Unzip this file and overwrite your current CCS installation with it.
3) Run CW and try to debug to your DSP board connected to the PCI parallel port. It will fail as expected.
4) Right click on the CCS icon in your SysTray and select Show CCS Console.
5) at the prompt, type: delete all
...then press [ENTER], then type: config cc lpt:0x<address of your parallel port
For instance, if you're card is at ECF8, type: config cc lpt:0xECF8 [ENTER]
If you don't know the address of your parallel port, you can find out in Window's hardware settings. On Windows 2000, go to:
Start->Settings->Control Panel->System->Hardware(tab)->Device
Manager->Ports
You will see your parallel port here. Double-click on it and go to the Resources tab. The first Input/Output address listed is the address to give CCS. Mine is 0378. It may be different for your setup. Try to debug. It should now work. If it does, execute this final command to save your current CCS settings:
config save [ENTER]
This will write out the settings to a config file, which will be automatically loaded by CCS for future debugging sessions.

Hi,
I am trying to use the CodeWarrior on a TOSHIBA laptop and I can't make the parallel port work. I get the same messages that Fireman says above. Do I really need the atualization patch for version 7.3? I can't get it!! The first time I requested the download the software_download_admin@freescale.com passed me a wrong link and in the second time I requested, he rejected it!!! Could someone pass me the file?
