LPT parallel problem with MPC5xx. MacraigorProtocolPlugin Error

[MichaelPPC]

Hello,

i bought a Phytec board with a MPC565 on it. This phytec board is connected via a parallel cable into my parallel port, which is an PCMCIA card (Delock 61612). This card generates a LPT1 port in system ports, but has another address than the standard 0x378 lpt address. (has something about FED0)
So, with the Phytec board, a Metrowerks Codewarrior for MPC 5xx Edition V8.1 was included. With this Codewarrior i wanted to debug the sample application , to test the connection. So i started to follow the quick start instructions. I set up the LPT1 port for connection with the "EPPC - MSI Wiggler" debugger with the right FPU Buffer Address and the right Speed. BUT, if i try to debug it, there is the error: "MacraigorProtocolPlugin: Macraigor DLL Error: 0x10 Invalid or unknown parallel port".So because the parallel port is online, but has another address than the standard address the dll can't find the lpt port. I already wrote to Macraigor (because it's there plugin?!), but they refered me to connect Metrowerks (Freescale), because i don't use their debug hardware.
So, my question is, if there is the possibility to change the access to the standard address to my specific address?!

Many thanks in advance,
Michael Freimann

Michael, I am using a pair of Prolific USB-Serial Adapters and I am getting the same error.  I am hunting a solution, if you find one post it here I will do the same.

Hi Ben,

i didn't get any solution, and the answer from Freescale was, that i should update the CodeWarrior to the newest version and use the P&E BDM Pod. So i did, and it works fine The problem is the cost, 250$, which is, at the moment, about 167€
The other way you could go, is that you buy a docking station for your laptop to use the internal rs232 / lpt port. These ports should have the "original" addresses.
Good luck to you!
