How is "data size" defined in CodeWarrior 8.3 Classic licensing?

[stu_m]

This page indicates the Evaluation version has a "data size restricted to 64 KB"

CodeWarrior® Development Tools for 56800/E DSC|NXP 

Can you please tell me what this means for DSP56F807? There are different X and P memory, and also we're on a 16-bit word size. Does the location or interrupt vectors have any impact on this utilization? Also, can you tell me whether this restriction will shut off for certain processor sizes or if it's the actual amount of program or data that is being used which impacts whether the Evaluation version will work or not? Does it have to do with how high of an address we use or the sum of the length of all the spaces in map file.

In other words, is there an easy way to review the Flash.elf.xMAP file and determine if we're getting close?

HI Stuart,

There is something wrong in this page. Feature "C compiler and C source-level debugger code and data size restricted to 64 KB" should be for Special edition version, not for Evaluation version.

here 64KB limitation is for "C code and data restriction". This is after-optimized code and data size.

if evaluation license, it's also called temporary professional license, no code/data size limitation, only has 30 days time limitation.

To check the data and code size, we need check map file. at the end of map file, there is "# Memory map:". check the "size" column, this is the size of each section, then add them together.

Have a great day,
Jennie Zhang
