I am working on a project in which I decided to use ColdFire Architectures , but within the classical view of CW. Luckily, there is another version of this document in which the conversion of ColdFire projects to CW Development Studio is also shown in a brief and easy way!   It can be read in the introductory part of the document: "This application note explains how to convert a ColdFire project created in CodeWarrior Development Studio for Microcontrollers V6.2 or CodeWarrior Development Studio for ColdFire Architectures V7.1 to CodeWarrior Development Studio for Microcontrollers V10.0."   I'll admit it was a thrill finding this document, I hope it is of great help for you as it was for me! And if you're not into CodeWarrior development tools, I don't know what you're waiting for!   Converting ColdFire Projects to CodeWarrior Development Studio for Microcontrollers V10.0

This document describes two sets of options and pragmas that can be used with the CodeWarrior tools to produce optimal code for the HCS08 cores. One set optimizes the size of the code; another set optimizes the execution speed.   You can use the build tools options and pragmas described in this document for optimal performance, but the build tools settings must be set according to the application being developed. Don't worry, DebuggerGuys provide you with app notes like this to make the job quickly and easy! Optimal Performance on HCS08 Cores (For more information on the HCS08 Compiler, refer to CodeWarrior Development Studio for Microcontrollers V10.x HC(S)08 web page.)

The StarCore assembly language tools consist of an assembler, a linker, an archiver, and several utilities. With the simulator user guide provided for Freescale's DSP (Digital Signal Processors), it's possible for us CodeWarrior users to know which are the software simulation models released with CW Development Studio for StarCore Architecture.   This guide contains a list of simulator models supported by DSP, • Instruction Set Simulators (ISS) • Performance Accurate Simulators (PACC) • Instruction-accurate ISS • Unified simulators   It also contains the requirements needed to launch the simulator system, and of course, all the instructions to pull the simulation off! Take a look at it, it's great the amount of things you can do with this! CodeWarrior Development Studio for StarCore DSP Architectures Simulator User Guide

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 is a part of StarCore development tools and generates an executable file for the StarCore family of digital signal processors. In addition, the linker also lets you define a Linker Command File (LCF) that you use to instruct the linker to store different parts of the executable file in different areas of the processor address space. Currently, StarCore development tools support two linker versions: • SC100 • SC3000   The SC3000 linker specifically targets SC3850 family of processors. This user guide explains SC3000 linker. For information on SC100 linker, see StarCore SC100 Linker User Guide. What are you waiting for? Amazing features are right here, and  u p d a t e d!!

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!

We talked of RTOS a little while ago. This time it's turn for The SmartDSP Operating System (OS), and more specifficly, SmartDSP API.   But, what is the SmartDSP OS? It 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: MSC815x MSC825x PSC9131   The StarCore CodeWarrior (CW) Development Studio includes SmartDSP OS royaltyfree source code. Further, SmartDSP OS has a high-level Application Programming Interface (API) that lets users develop integrated applications for StarCore processors. This Reference Manual documents SmartDSP OS API.   Having this API updated and available for processors MSC815x/MSC825x/PSC9131, possibilities of coding within CodeWarrior features become even broader. Start trying it up now!!!

The great thing with CodeWarrior development Suites is that you can develop almost in any programming environment out there, even if it's assembly.   In this occassion, I ran into a Reference Manual regarding a StarCore ABI (Application Binary Interface)   This document defines a set of standards to ensure interoperability between conforming CodeWarrior for StarCore software components, such as, compilers, assemblers, linkers, debuggers, and assembly language code. These standards cover run-time aspects as well as object formats to be used by compatible tool chains from StarCore and third-party tools developers.   A benefit of this standard definition is interoperability of conforming tools so that users can select the best tool for each phase of the application development cycle, rather than being constrained to using an entire tool chain. Another benefit is compatibility of conforming libraries. Us programmers can build compatible binary libraries and assembly code libraries and be assured of their continued compatibility over time.   So if you are ready for a new experience at programming (in case binary interfaces are your thing) start along with this Reference Manual!

You remember the previous post regarding the new awesome TAP for CodeWarrior applications?   Today I'd like you to meet this device shown up here. Is the CWH-STC-COP-YE, a removable probe tip for StarCore and DSC processors. This probe tip connects your StarCore or DSC processor target system’s ONCE port to the CodeWarrior TAP base unit’s 30-pin target connector.   And of course this tip is compatible with the CodeWarrior TAP previously mentioned (CWH-CTP-BASE-HE). As a matter fact, the base unit doesn't come with a probe tip, so it is necessary to acquire one of the tips available to debug your device. Check out the main features!   Features Removable probe tip Low-cost and economical to order several spares Allows base unit to work with several different target types System Requirements StarCore or DSC target system with ONCE header CodeWarrior TAP
