S32 Design Studio for PowerPC Licensing and GCC

[michaelgoudey]

I have installed S32DS for ARM and also have taken a look at pre-release PPC version.  Where is the license file included with this installation?  It's not at all obvious like the directory structure included with KDS.

I would also like to know about GCC version included with S32DS for PowerPC.  It appears to be a VLE toolchain with GCC v4.9.2.  The one included with S32DS for ARM looks like GCC v4.9.3.

Is the VLE toolchain a custom one, or standard GCC?  I have searched the web and it's unclear whether VLE was added to the standard GCC compiler.

Thanks, Michael

Hello Michael,

Actually S32DS for ARM/Power v1.0 does not require any specific license file.

S32DS Basic framework is based on GNU components (GCC, GDB, Eclipse...) similarly as e.g. KDS.

Regarding S32DS for Power - it indeed includes VLE toolchain. VLE support has been added by Freescale into standard GCC (4.9.2)

Hope it helps.

Thanks Stanislav.

This is exactly what I was looking for.  S32DS does not use a custom toolchain, and VLE has been added to standard GCC.  Can I see the support in a GCC git tree somewhere?
