If you would like to migrate a project which is created by classic CW to eclipse CW, this file illustrates one of the ways to import PE beans to eclipse IDE manually. Test environment: 56F8037 in CW for DSC V8.3, CW for MCU V10.3, CW for MCU V10.4.

CodeWarrior Development Studio is a complete integrated Development Environment (IDE) that provides a highly visual and automated framework to accelerate the development of the most complex embedded applications.   I now present you a manual that describes the CodeWarrior IDE and debugger features that are common across all the CodeWarrior products, in which you can find many interesting things for people who's just starting to break down CodeWarrior great features.   Within the overview of this manual you will also find: • Release Notes • Documentation Structure • Manual Conventions • CodeWarrior IDE Overview   Download CodeWarrior and get to see the Reference Manual right away!  

The CodeWarrior  Development Studio provides a common interface for developing, debugging, and analyzing your applications. The project-oriented Workbench window provides numerous perspectives containing views, editors, and controls that appear in menus and tool bars. After creating a project, build your application, define a launch configuration, and then wait for data collection and data display.   The StarCore Linker generates an executable file by combining the object files and libraries specified in your project. Using a linker command file (LCF), you can instruct the linker to store portions of your executable in different areas of memory. The linker relocates and binds symbols to addresses according to the directives in your LCF.   The StarCore linker supports the SC100 and SC3000 architectures, and all Freescale devices based on these architectures, including the SC140 and SC3400 and its variants.   The highlights of the linking process are:      1. Build a map of available memory according to the .memory and .reserve directives defined in the linker command file.      2. Read the input object files and libraries. Combine like-named sections, build the global symbol table, and resolve undefined references.      3. Strip data never used; strip the code of functions never called.      4. Place segments in memory, according to .firstfit, .org, and .segment directives. Place all absolute sections before placing relocatable sections. If any sections are left over after processing the segment directives, place those remaining sections in their own segments on a first-fit basis.      5. Generate any LoadAddr_ symbols for overlays. Check each module’s symbol table to ensure that there are no more undefined references.      6. Process the relocations to resolve external reference values.      7. Write the executable output file.   This and many more features are now updated in the SC100 Linker User Guide, take a look at it and start developing with CodeWarrior!

Recently we helped a customer resolve a question related with “asm_enhance”command line option usage. It’s strange there is no documentation of this knowledge in CodeWarrior help manual. After many discussions with development team, it gets clear to me. So I wrote an article on this topic for sharing.   “ -asm_enhance” option is added in ColdWarrior10 /CodeWarrior11 “compiler setting”, “General”, “Other Flags”:   "-asm_enhance" command line option can be used for two distinct aspects: Enabling inline assembly data optimizations Enabling stack effect computation through inline assembly code. These two aspects were all gathered under the same option because they both are referring to enhanced inline assembly – i.e. inline assembly code that gets handled almost as C code). Thank for the great support from Bogdan Ditu . For more information on -asm_enhance, see attached document.

The CodeWarrior Development Studio provides a common interface for developing, debugging, and analyzing your applications. The project-oriented Workbench window provides numerous perspectives containing views, editors, and controls that appear in menus and tool bars. After creating a project, build your application, define a launch configuration, and then wait for data collection and data display.   CodeWarrior Profiling and Analysis Tools provide visibility into an application as it runs on the simulator and hardware. This visibility can help you understand how your application runs, as well as identify operational problems.   The CodeWarrior Profiling and Analysis tool set to develop software for Freescale StarCore DSP processors make it easy to collect the data. The following are the basic features of this tool:   • The basic setup can be done using the Trace and Profile tab in the Debug launch configuration • The advanced setup can be done using the Advanced Settings panel; complex configurations can be defined for the Debug and Profiling Unit (DPU), Virtual Trace buffer (VTB), and On Chip Emulator (OCE) • Data files can be shared between teams • Fast trace collection through High Speed Simultaneous Transfer (HSST) and SmartDSP HEAT (Host Exchange over Asynchronous Transfer) • Displays trace buffer content on Attach to Process • and many  m a n y   more!

T1040 is new to all the customers. The ecosystem is still not mature in this moment in Jan'2014 The note is for someone who is using Codewarrior PA10.3.3 for T1040 platform board bring up or debugging on this moment. if you have problem to connect T1040 platform with Codewarrior, the document might help you.

CodeWarrior it's constantly updating and optimizing the way everything gets together to pull great things off. In this occasion I found some features updated within Processor Expert's Service Pack, and more specifically, for MCU v10.2.   The update is now available on Freescale's webpage, and the preview shows a list of derivatives that support Processor Expert, such as:   F84441 MC56F84442 MC56F84451 MC56F84452 MC56F84462 MC56F84540 MC56F84543 MC56F84550   And many,  m a n y  more!   In order for this Service Pack to work well, you must count with an update of CodeWarrior for MCU v10.2, which can be also found on Freescale's webpage ready to be downloaded.   Give it a try already! Updates here!

Working with ColdFire Architectures for CodeWarrior is really simple and very useful. One little problem that many people has run into, is the relocation of code and data within the MCUs that are being used.   Maybe this will help those who have that issue, the Document I recently found explains the solution I now present.   It provides guidance for relocating code and data within the Microcontroller memory map. It also explains how to create new memory segments and sections by editing the CodeWarrior Linker Command File (LCF) for ColdFire Architectures.   The Linker Command File (LCF) along with other compiler directives, places pieces of code and data into RAM and ROM. You can do this by creating specific sections in the LCF and then matching them to the source code using pragma directives.   Other than making a program file from your project's object files, the linker has several extended functions for manipulating program code in different ways. You can access these functions through commands in the linker command file (LCF).   Linker command files consist of three kinds of segments, which must be in this order: • A memory segment, which begins with the MEMORY{} directive, • An optional closure segment, which begins with the FORCE_ACTIVE{}, KEEP_SECTION{}, or REF_INCLUDE{} directives, and • A sections segment, which begins with the SECTIONS{} directive.   LCF only gets more interesting, so get the Document read now!

I just download FNET2.5.0, it can't debug it by CW10.4, it comes error message when I start debug "Could not open memory configuration file".   The CW10.4 works for other examples project.   Why?   Regards Sam

How to use error directive in codewarrior version 10.6 as i am facing problem which is able to see in  attached sheet

In some of the post I've talked about the many advantages that the combination CodeWarrior-Eclipse can bring up. One of those was the installation on service Packs in a friendlier way than when it's done with the classical view of CodeWarrior. That is why I introduce today the Installing Service Pack for CodeWarrior Tools Quick Start   This Quick Start, in case you are choosing the hard and equally great way to do your own thing with CodeWarrior, it explains how to install a service pack or an update for your classical version of the software running on the Windows platform.   It shows step by step how to do this manually and correctly, preventing you from having an IDE full of stuff you don't even want to use.

The SmartDSP Operating System (OS) is a Real Time Operating System (RTOS) that, in addition to providing drivers for the MSBA8100 processor, also runs on the following StarCore DSP-based processors: • PSC9131 • MSC815x/MSC825x • MSC814x • MSC812x • MSC8101/3 • MSC711x   The StarCore CodeWarrior (CW) Development Studio includes SmartDSP OS royalty-free source code. Further, SmartDSP OS has a high-level Application Programming Interface (API) that lets users develop integrated applications for StarCore processors.   In SmartDSP OS, most functions are written in ANSI C. However, when needed, Assembly optimizes time-critical functions by maximizing StarCore’s multiple execution units.   Other SmartDSP OS features include the following: • small memory footprint ideal for high-speed StarCore processors • priority-based event-driven scheduling (triggered by user applications or HW) • dual-stack pointer for exception and task handling • inter-task communication using queues, semaphores, and events.   And this is just the beginning of what you can do with SmartDSP OS, get updated here and start coding with DebuggerGuys!

The purpose of this document is to help understand and create Flash configuration files for the Flash Programming interface.   A Flash Configuration file is an XML format file. Its file extension is always “XML”. It is possible to open and edit this file with any text editor. This file is a “handmade” file and is not created automatically with any tool.   Some microcontrollers can address the flash in multiple ways ─ banked and paged. Therefore, multiple overlapping devices can be defined for one microcontroller. Each of them is defined in its own Flash Configuration XML file.   The *.XML files contain microcontroller- dependent parameters and applets to handle internal flash modules. Applets are small programs which are loaded into the on-chip RAM. They will run at well-defined speed (depending on the microcontroller clock speed) and can collect data about the state of the memory modules, can control the memory modules (including erasing and programming). There are three applets for each flash module: http://pcdn.500px.net/4130499/a271bcea97e80e8d223b3338b27c9f116cdd98a3/3.jpg• INFO applet ─ Collects information about the module. • CONTROL applet ─ Controls and erases the module. • PROGRAM applet ─ Programs the module.   Parameters are passed to these applets at fixed memory addresses, which are relative to the workspace. *.XML files are written by Freescale and are delivered within the installation.   Keep learning and pull off your own applet with this Application Note!

Taking TWR-56F8400 as an example, this document shows how to create a project in CodeWarrior v10.6 and get its global data visualization in FreeMaster through USBTAP. This example shows three global variables (test8, test16, test32) in ‘Variable Watch Window’ of FreeMASTER , displays the changing curve of test8 in scope, and displays test16 as curve in Recorder.   

Hello!   I'm currently trying to adapt a MC56F8356 Project on the Codewarrior 8.3. When I try to download my programme into the DSP,I failed with a outcom like this picture uploaded.   I doubt it's the hardware circuit problem,but I do not know where the problem is.   Can you tell in what situation this may be ?   Thank you for help!
