Hello,
I migrated a project for the Coldfire processor MCF5216 from Codewarrior V5.7.0 to Codewarrior V7.2. I made the necessary changes to the project for migration and the project compiles with no problems.
However, when I debug the project (in winIDEA), it so happens that the code tries to access some unmapped memory region and as a result the program hangs.
Also, I noticed in the document giving instructions regarding migration to V7.2, that the assembly functions need to be declared with the "declspec" qualifier. I do not have any assemler functions in my code but I do make use of some assembly instruction snippets. For example:
- - C code - -
asm
{
........
assembly code
.....
}
-- C code --
Will any specific changes have to be made regarding these codes in the project?
Please help me out here. I have been stuck with this for a long time now.
Thanks in advance.

Can you give me details how you migrated the to CW 7.2?
Hi,
Refer to Migrating project from CW 6.2 to CW 10
There are 2 TNs under the V7.2 installation.
Please refer to the \CodeWarrior for ColdFire V7.2\Help\PDF folder.
The TN256.pdf and TN268.pdf give some infor to move from V6.x to V7.2.
Have a great day,
Pascal

I found a small piece of assembly code within a C interrupt function. This piece of code can be found in Coldfire Lite (file main.c):
//FSL core WD interrupt__interrupt__ void core_wd(){#if WD_TEST ADDRESS pc_on_stack;//FSL note that stack pointer (a7) was modified by the "C" function asm { move.l a7,d0 }; //FSL place stack pointer address in d0 asm { add.l #36,d0 }; //FSL point to the start of the exception frame asm { move.l d0,pc_on_stack }; //FSL update variable asm { nop }; //FSL PC is +4 from the base of the exception frame MCF_RCM_RCR = MCF_RCM_RCR_SOFTRST; //FSL Issue software reset command#endif }
Maybe this piece of code can be used as a reference.
P.S. Make sure to update your version of Codewarrior to 7.2.2, which contains important fixes.
