Command line compilation for MPC5606B

[swarooph]

Is it possible to download CodeWarrior without the IDE? I only want the command line tools e.g. mwcceppc and the include folders that come with it. If this is not possible, what are some alternative tool chains to compile, build for MPC5606B powerpc? Is there a popular GCC variant?

[trytohelp]

in addition to Erich info.

There are 2 dev tools supporting MPC5606B:

    - CW for MPC55xx/56xx V2.10 based on classic IDE,

          CodeWarrior Dev Tools for MPC55xx/MPC56xx|Freescale

    - CW for MCU V10.6 based on Eclipse.      

          CodeWarrior for Microcontrollers-Eclipse IDE|Freescale

We don't have standalone version.

However you can use a make file (a .bat file) to build your application without using the IDE/Ecipse.

The V2.10 includes an interesting doc listing all options available on IDE and corresponding for CMD.

      Refer to the AN4094 attached ...

Attached you will find an example using a bat file.

I've tested this example on MPC V2.10.

But it should work (the bat file) on MCU v10.6 too.

To be running you must edit the test.bat and change the folder according to your installation path.

hope this will help you

Have a great day,

Hello Pascal,

Thank you for the detailed answer. As Erich says, I know that IDE installation comes with command line utilities. I guess there is no way then to download only the command line utilities.

Could you please confirm if any of the options you mentioned are free to download without purchase? CW (Special Suite) is free and should have most of the basic functionality with command line as well right?

Thanks for the quick response.

The download includes the IDE, but you do not have to use it.

If you download CodeWarrior, it comes with command line tools and include folders/libraries/etc.

Simply use these tools and not the IDE.
