A vulnerability in the Apache Log4j was identified in the article posted: CVE-2021-45046 NXP has performed an analysis of this vulnerability with regard to the CodeWarrior. Our conclusion is that the CodeWarrior (all versions) is NOT IMPACTED. Although the Log4j is used by CodeWarrior, the version used is 1.x and the vulnerability was introduced in version 2.x. We do not plan to upgrade the Log4j version at this time. Going forward, if we determine an upgrade of the Log4j is required for a future release of CodeWarrior, then this vulnerability will be addressed.

The DSC56800E/EX Quick Start is a software environment for the embedded applications development. It is based on the graphical configuration tool (GCT) and a unified application programming interface (API)-style of accessing the peripheral modules.  The attached document shows how to integrate this tool with Eclipse CodeWarrior for MCU, and how to start a new project from Quick Start Stationery.

As you might already know, assembler statements are used to control the operation of the assembler itself.   The syntax of assembler statements mirrors the syntax of assembly language, and therefore, a guide of FAQs or HOW-TOs is usually provided while working with any given assembler.   Such is the case of the Freescale DSP Assembler, which not only processes assembly code for the Freescale DSP instruction set, but offers a set of useful directives and macros which makes your assembly coding much easier.   So, taking a look at the CodeWarrior-Digital Signal Controller Assembler Manual you'll be able to get acquinted with the directives and macros previously mentioned, and you'll get a step closer in the process of learning and programming Freescale DSPs.   Syntax, expressions and functions are also mentioned within this manual. Take a look at it now!   For more on the subject, follow DebuggerGuys

This document shows, how to use CodeWarrior to debug code, which is already flashed in the micro.   1) Click File and choose Import. In this menu select MCU Executable Importer.   2) Set project name and choose workspace where the project will be created.   3) Select .elf file which you want to import. You can also copy the .elf file to the project folder (optional)   4) Select device, which you use.   5) Select debugger, which will be used for debugging.   6) Select instruction set, which is used in the code you will debugging.   Click Finish. Project will be created in the selected workspace.  Now select created project and click on the arrow near the bug symbol and select Debug Configuration.   Click on the project name switch to the Debugger tab. In the window Debugger options select Download tab and uncheck Perform standard download. Click Apply and now you are able to debug without downloading the code to the device.

The example demonstrates project adjustments required in order to run and debug the code running from external SRAM rather then from internal memory. This example performs basic initialization and runtime EBI interface configuration (FLASH Build target) so the external SRAM memory becomes available while executing the code (without debugger). The debugger launching TCL script (\Project_Settings\Debugger\MPC5644A_VLE.tcl, init_ebi()) has been adjusted to load program into external SRAM (EXT_SRAM)   Test HW:  MPC5644A + XPC564A minimodule + XPC56XX mother board Maskset:  OM14X Target :  External SRAM, Internal FLASH Fsys:     16MHz IRC Debugger: PeMicro USB-ML-PPCNEXUS IDE/Compiler: CodeWarrior for MCUs v10.5 EVB connection:   Default EVB jumper setup

Hello community!   Nowadays assembly language is being eradicated for embedded systems, and other alternatives such as C/C++ are widely used.   However we know sometimes it becomes necessary to get to "the bones" of our MCU, even from a C project, and play directly with its registers and status flags. Some use cases are:   - Startup code - Bootloaders - Time critical routines - Benchmarking   It is common to include assembly code using the "asm()" style. But what if I want to use my C variables in the assembly code? or if I want to call an assembly subroutine from a C project? The GCC toolchain integrated with CodeWarrior brings this flexibility.   In the attached pdf document you can find an overview and explanation of this extended assembly feature. Also attached a pair of example projects tested with CW v10.6 using KL25Z128 and K60DN512.   Thanks to Abigail Inzunza Lopez for helping with this.   I hope you like it !

The HC(S)08 Build Tools Reference Manual for Microcontrollers describes the compiler used for the Freescale 8-bit Microcontroller Unit (MCU) chip series. This document included right here consists of the following sections: • Using Compiler      It's more than obvious that the compiler is one of the parts that help us pull off our design, and that's why is really important to fully understand how it works, what it does and how to get the meximum out of it. This section, as you can figure, will be describing how to run the compiler, including the necessary specifications. • ANSI-C Library Reference      The well-known library is essential and quite useful. The section of this library reference will guide you on how it's attached to the compliler and how can you apply its benefits into your design! • Appendices      Apendices are more useful than you might think, so don't underestimate them! This ones include lists of FAQs, global and local configuration file entries, and known C++ issues to solve out any doubt.   In case you remain with questions, DebuggerGuys can help you out!

Eclipse - How can I install (check for) patch and update ?             Valid for all Eclipse versions - CW for MCU, CW for PA, etc ...     By default when an update (sometimes for patches too) is available a message will appear under Eclipse   If you click on the message a new dialog will appear     Via the Help Menu   Via the Help Menu you can access 2 features: Check for Updates: to update packages already installed Install New Software … to install new plugins.         Notes: To avoid problem we recommend to execute “Check for Updates” after to have executed “Install New Software”.     Install New Software …   This is a generic Eclipse feature and you must select a Software Site which could be: Associated to a web link This is the case for CodeWarrior Eclipse tools: MCU V10.6 for instance. The correct link is proposed in the Software Sites list. http://freescale.com/lgfiles/updates/Eclipse/MCU10_6/com.freescale.mcu.updatesite   Associated to a local file       You can download a patch on your PC (most of the time a .zip file) and install it.       After to have downloaded a patch, you must add it in the Software Sites.       Click on Add…                               Via Archive you can select the file you’ve downloaded.                        It will be added in the Software Sites list.     Notes: Sometimes you can not install all patches/Updates at same time. Some patches/updates require a patch or an update already installed to be applied. To install all patches and updates you could need to execute several time the process and re-start Eclipse between 2 processes.     Attached you will find a doc showing an example for MCU V10.6 using the 2 features: Install New Software … Check for Updates – not really used here.

When the Data Flash and Data RAM are not big enough  to save the constants or global data. User can place his data in program memory. This project supplies a solution for how to place and access the data in Program Flash in running time with C language.

This document shows how to setup CodeWarrior project to flash two .elf files into micro.   At first, create empty project for required processor. New project has to be created, because you need debug setup.   Second step is to create new target task.   Type Task Name, as run configuration, choose Flash configuration of the created project and set Task Type to Flash Programmer for Power Architecture.   On the next screen add device MPC5568G_VLE or MPC5668G_BOOKE and set base RAM address to 0x40000000 and size of the RAM at least 128KB (0x00020000)   Add first action Erase/Blank. You can choose, which sectors you want erase or you can choose all sectors.     Add two Program/Verify action. In each action, choose one of the .ELF file, which you want to flash.   If you have prepared these actions, click on the button Save All.   Save the Flash Action to the framework. Then choose the Target Task and click the Execute button.

User who work with CW MCU v10.5 for 8bit MCU that uses banked Memory(for example 9S08QE128, 9S08DZ128, etc), MUST install CW MCU v10.5 MCU Banked Memory Patch.

Even though there has been a huge rush to get the latest versions of CodeWarrior for MCU, I've also got some questions regarding the compiler and linker version 10.0, so I'll share with you the Kinetis Refernce Manual for MCU v10.x   The Kinetis (also known as ARM or Cortex-M4) Build Tools Reference Manual for Microcontrollers describes the compiler used for the Freescale 32-bit Microcontroller Unit (MCU) chip series.   This application note provides information about the CodeWarrior compiler and its linker, versions 10.0 and higher and explains how to use CodeWarrior tools to build programs.   CodeWarrior build tools translate source code into object code then organize that object code to create a program that is ready to execute. CodeWarrior build tools run on the host system to generate software that runs on the target system. Sometimes the host and target are the same system. Usually, these systems are different.   The document also provides information about the documentation related to the CodeWarrior Development Studio for Microcontrollers, Version 10.x and contains these major sections: • Compiler Architecture • Linker Architecture • Additional Information Resources • Miscellaneous   Ready to give it a glance?  Do it now!

If I talk to you about Luis Garabito, Mexican engineer who works at the Freescale's CodeWarrior labs from a very close approach, you might not know what the main point is.   He has recently made a post regarding MQX applications and how is vital for us to understand how the environment in which we are working on works, specially if we're developing for the first time in it.   He also made a really useful application note (attached within the document) for us to get closer and deeper into the development on Freescale MQXLite RTOS, providing the knowledge necessary to start developing in an easy, quick way. So, I personally thank Luis very much and encourage all of you to check out the attached preview of how awesome can a RTOS turn out when used into our particular design.   This Application Note is based on the Kinetis KL2 USB MCUs Family, specifically, the KL25Z128VLK4 micro controller. The Freescale Freedom development platform board (FRDM–KL25Z) is also used for this example.   Start it up already, and follow DebuggerGuys for more cool info!

The CodeWarrior linker for MPC56xx does not support CRC generation. In case that user needs CRC vale for his firmware,  he can make use of CRCgen.exe utility included in CodeWarrior v10.6.4.   The attached document listed the detailed steps for  generating CRC value by CRCgen.exe, the example project is also attached.
