Hi,
We currently use the Codewarrior USB TAP p/n 900-75115 (rev. F). We now need one spare for our manufacturer. This USB TAP is no longer available. Please let me know similar USB TAPs that can be purchased.
Hi Kjell,
We (NXP) provide for CodeWarrior development tools 2 types of interfaces which are:
- CodeWarrior TAP
Starcore, Power Architecture (COP) and QorIQ LS (Coretex 10 pin)
- CodeWarrior USBTap
DSC56800/E, PowerQuicc I
For details please have a look to web:
CodeWarrior Run Control Devices|NXP
What's about the USBTap p/n 900-75115 ?
This is a COP interface used for Power PC devices used by MGT V9.2 for instance.
The CodeWarrior TAP is the new interface replacing the USBTap.
Now the question is: what is the CodeWarrior Development tool used ?
CodeWarrior TAP was released recently and old Dev tool versions don't support this interface.
We've workaround which is the update the CCS tool used by debugger to establish connection with interface.
Please can you provide us more information ?
Have a great day,
Pascal

Hi Pascal,
We use Codewarrior PA V8.8, and the processor we use is MPC8308. Actually our manufacturer only need to program flash memory using this new USB TAP.
Kind regards,
Kjell
Hi Kjell,
The CodeWarrior TAP can be used.
The PA V8.8.6 is the last version of Classic PA.
The patch 8.8.6 includes new ccs tool which is supporting CodeWarrior TAP.
However it doesn't support 7xx and 6xx devices - limitations of connectors.
Attached the manual.
Have a great day,
Pascal

Hi Pascal,
As I mentioned in my initial request, we need to get one more USB TAP that is available for purchase. Please let me know the part number for this USB TAP that will work with PA V8.8.6 and the MPC8308.
Kind regards,
Kjell
Kjell,
USBTap for PA is not available anymore and was replaced by CodeWarrior TAP.
Now if you want an USBTap you can check on web.
I found some pieces on Ebay for instance.

Pascal,
Have I understood you correctly that the "CodeWarrior TAP" as shown in the link in your reply above, can be used as a direct replacement for "USBTap" we already have?
Kind regards,
Kjell
Kjell,
Yes.
USBTap for COP is not manufactured anymore.
The CodeWarrior TAP can be used in this case. It's the new interface.
Have a great day,
Pascal

Hi Pascal,
I have a follow up question regarding Code warrior PA V8.8.6. Can you send me a link where to download, and also where to obtain an eval. license.
Thank you!

Hi Pascal,
Thanks for letting me know how to do this. I will try it later on.
The only thing our manufacturer needs to do is to program flash memory on a card with the MPC8308, and nothing else. Do we need to buy a CodeWarrior license to do that? Is there no free version of CodeWarrior that we can use, except for downloading an eval. version each time it expires?
Kind regards,
Kjell
Hi Kjell,
Unfortunately we don't have Special Edition (Free of charge) version for this tool.
Re-installing evaluation version should not work too.
Is there a free Flash Programmer available on the web ? I don't know.
The CW for PA V8.8 is associated to CW4NET tool chain.
