Is CodeWarrior for MCU (10.6) using GCC compiler by default ?

[ssinfod]

Hello,

I'm building a project for the Coldfire 52233 MCU.

Q1)  I would like to know if CodeWarrior for MCU (10.6) is using GCC as the (default) compiler ?

I see this value in the project settings: "${CF_ToolsDir}/mwccmcf" ?

What is this compiler ?

Q2) Is there a way to use GCC as the compiler for the Coldfire ? Can I use GCC  in CodeWarrior 10.6 ?

Where should I get GCC for coldfire (Is nxp/freescale providing a GCC toolchain ?)

What do I have to change to use GCC in CodeWarrior ?

Is there a Code Size limit when If I use GCC ?  (right now, I think I have a 128K limit in the Special Edition).

Q3) Maybe GCC is not the default compiler for the Coldfire.

However, is CodeWarrior using GCC as the default compiler for other MCU ? (ex: Kinetis, etc.)

Thanks for your time,

ssinfod

Hello ssinfod

Q1)

This Compiler locates at:

C:\Freescale\CW MCU v10.6.4\MCU\ColdFire_Tools\Command_Line_Tools

And it is supplied by NXP, not GCC compiler.

Q2)

CodeWarrior includes a non-GNU compiler for bar board (or RTOS) ColdFire targets. And you can integrate any toolchain you want into Eclipse. And n code size limit if build with external GCC toolchain.  The links below may be helpful to you.

Q) CodeWarrior v10.6 for MCU

CodeWarrior does include the GNU toolchain for Kinetis targets, but not for others including S08,S12Z,DSC, Coldfire and MPC56xx.
