Importing 56F8323 projects in CodeWarrior 10.1

[MadsPhillip]

Hello

I have recently been tasked with modernizing some old projects for the 56F8323 made in CW rev. 5.6.1.1658.

I'm new to the Freescale processor world, so I just went to freescale.com and got me the latest CodeWarrior IDE (10.1) and began to try and import/convert the old projects.

I didn't get far... I get this hiccup at the toolchain target selection, where it simply says the project type is not supported for the target. I get four toolchain target options (ldm pRom-xRam, sdm pRom-xRam, ldm xRom-xRam or sdm xRom-xRam) and the "Imported project type" table is empty.

Even when im trying to make a new project for the 56F8323 i get into trouble, simply not being able to find the device in the device selection... i get this eerie feeling that it's not supported anymore or something.

Now i been fiddling around with it a couple of hours, reading the project importer quick start guide and I've been browsing around in here but wasn't able to get any revelations. So i thought maybe one of the old freescale Zen masters could spare a couple of minutes and show me the robes and tell me what's what. Thanks

The reason your part is not showing up in the CodeWarrior New Project wizard is because the Eclipse-based version of CodeWarrior (CW 10.x) does not support any of the Freescale Digital Signal Controller (DSC) parts. You must still use the Classic IDE to develop software for this part.

You can go to this CodeWarrior web page and expand the control CodeWarrior Tools by Processor Type to confirm this.
