Hello everyone,
We have a project running on Windows xp machine for Coldfire (v2 MCF5223x) microcontroller. We are trying to import the project to windows 10, but we get too many "makefile, linker and syntax" errors and we cannot compile the project. is there any way to be able to import the project quickly? What solution should be followed?
Best regards,
Tolga Acar
Hi tolgaacar
What's the CodeWarrior versions you are using on xp and win10?
Thanks,

Hello Jennie,
I'm using v11.1 on the windows 10 side and Codewarrior Coldfire 7.2 (IDE version 5.9.0) on the windows xp side.
When i try import project from (Import > CodeWarrior > CodeWarrior Classic Project) with .mcp extention, i get the error "This toolchain is not supported for this target".
When I create a bare-board project and try to cleanly import the project with the header and source files, I get a lot of errors. (see: decleration syntax error, function has no prototype, undefined identifier, ';' expected and mingw etc.)
Thank you for your answer, best regards.
HI tolgaacar
Codewarrior Coldfire 7.2 is classic CodeWarrior while Codewarrior Coldfire 11.1 is eclipse CodeWarrior. These two IDEs base on different architecture thus CW11.1 can't open CW7.2 project.
Suggestion is to create a new project under CW11.1 on win10 platform, then drag the source code into CW11.1 part by part.
Another solution is provided by P&E, you can refer it if you use P&E debugger. they have Patch for ColdFire 3rd Party Software which allows CW7.2 working on win11. For more information. see:

As the patch is not produced by NXP, if you have issue with this patch usage, please contact P&E directly.
