Porting from CodeWarrior/EWL to KDS2.0/KSDK V 1.1

[thoborawski]

I have a project that was started with CodeWarrior V10.5 with the embedded workshop library (EWL). I am looking for the fastest way possible to port it to KDS 2.0/KSDK 1.1. I would like

to use our existing kinetis_sysinit boot code.

I looked at the Kinetis Design Studio V2.0.0 Porting User Guide, but that only the process of using KDS 2.0 with the existing EWL libraries, not porting a CodeWarrior/EWL project to  KDS 2.0/KSDK 1.1.  Is there a guide of porting CodeWarrior/EWL to KDS/KSDK ?

Hi Tho,

there is CW to KDS porting guide under C:\Freescale\KDS_2.0.0\doc\pdf\kds_porting_guide.pdf

I will attached it to this thread for your convenience.

Erich ever posted a useful document about  "Comparing CodeWarrior with Kinetis Design Studio". I think it could be also useful to you.

The "Comparing CodeWarrior with Kinetis Design Studio" link was very useful. Thank You.

I had assumed our KDS 2.0 installation was setup to use newlib; however, I found that it was using newlib-nano by default. There are still many significant changes to make to a Codewarrior/EWL project to move it to KDS2.0/newlib-nano that make the effort time-consuming. The reason we were considering it was that A) KDS is free and B) Codewarrior will be no longer updated (in favor of KDS).

We were told at a recent Kinetis training session that Codewarrior will be sidelined in favor of KDS in the future.

Again, thank you for the useful information.
