Codewarrier Performance of Evaluation Version vs Standard/Professional Version (MPC5643L)

[girishkarpur]

Hi Team,

We have developed our board with MPC5643L . Currently we are using the evaluation version of the Codewarrier compiler .

I wish to understand the difference between the eval version and standard/paid version of the codewarrier w.r.t performance and code optimisation if any.

More specifically, Will the execution timing of specific code section change between these versions.

Will there be any difference in the ADC conversion times, or will the number of instructions change due to optimisation in professional versions.

If yes then how to understand or measure.

If there is any performance gain in the CTU module with profession version?

Can I get a time limited full version for few weeks for performance evaluation?

Best Regards

Hello Girish

The differences of Special Edition, Basic Edition, Standard Edition and Professional Edition are listed in:

http://www.freescale.com/files/soft_dev_tools/doc/fact_sheet/950-00437.pdf

The restriction only lies in software feature like profile, PC-Lint support and C code size, irrelative with hardware performance.

The Evaluation Edition works as same as Professional Edition, only have 30-day time limit.

Hi,

An evaluation version is in fact the normal tool version + a temporary license file.

The evaluation license is time limited to 30 - 45 days.

This license is based on Professional Suite.

So this is the full version but time limited.

To resume the evaluation will allow you to use the tool without restriction.

You're using CW for MCP55xx/56xx V2.10 which is the last version based on classic IDE.

The MPC5643L device is supported on another version which is CW for MCU V10.6.4 (+ 10.6.5 patch).

This version is based on Eclipse and was released last month.

In case of new development we recommend to use Eclipse.

You can evaluate this version too.

Attached you will find 2 temp licenses:

    license_mcu.txt -> for MCU v10.6.4

    license_mpc_55XX_V2_10.txt -> for MCP v2.10

Rename them to license.dat

The license must be places under the folder:

    MCU V10.6 -> \CW MCU v10.6.4\MCU\license.dat

    MCP55xx/56xx V2.10 -> \CW for MPC55xx and MPC56xx 2.10\license.dat

hope this will help you

Have a great day,
Pascal
