Hi,

There is a process to use FreeMaster.

This was an answer I sent to a customer about FreeMaster (older PCMaster).

You would like to use PCMaster.

This tool is provided by Freescale and integrated in our installation.

You can try a small example by creating a project using Processor Expert (PE) for the DSP56F8357.

PE has a bean managing the PCMaster.

Attached to this email you will find an example. I can not test it on this board because I don't have the EVM for this processor but

it's working for another derivative (8346).

To test it you must:

    - open the project sent,

    - compile the code without optimization,

    - start the application.

Now the debugger is started and stopped of the main function.

For PCMaster:

    - start the tool,

    - click on Project | Option,

    - check the Comm,

    - In Map Files, in the Default symbool file, select the elf file generated by CW and Elf/dwarf as file format.

        Close this dialog.

    - select the Name field and with the pop-up select "Create new watched var ..."

    - in the variable menu do:

            - select the uiZaehler_ms variable in the "Address" field,

            - valid by ok.

    - Repeat the operation for uiQuadrat_ms and uiOffset_ms,

    - Select New project and with the pop-up menu select Create scope,

    - in the scope dialog, you must:

            - click on setup and select your variables. Refer to the jpeg attached.

    - select New scope.

    - Now you can save the config as a .pmp file.

    - Click on Stop and valid by cancel.

Now, Pc Master is ready.

Go to CW and run the application.

On PC Master you can see the info concerning the 3 variables

    static unsigned int uiZaehler_ms;
    static unsigned int uiQuadrat_ms;
    static unsigned int uiOffset_ms;

Hope this will help you.

Hope this will help you.
