Hi NXP,

We are using MPC5746C controller for our project. We need to enable the Hardware Floating Point to do floating point operation in our project.

Could you please guide us, how to enable the Hardware FPU and steps to verify?

Note: We are using GHS compiler.

Thanks in Advance

Thanks for the information. 

I will follow the above steps.

I need more information regarding the testing part.

How to verify, this feature is enabled and reduced the processing time?

Thanks in Advance

Hi,

Simply execute some FPU instruction. If it is no enabled the micro will throw exception.

regards,

Peter
