What is cpu_type for mpc5606S?

[anderscullbrand]

Hi,

I am using gcc to build my C-project for the MPC5606S-processor.

To gcc there is build flag -mcpu, my question is which value I shall give it?

Is it enough with -mcpu=powerpc?

Best Regards,

Hello Anders,

correct parameter for MPC5606S is -mcpu=e200z0 (which is type of core used in the microcontroller)

Hello Martin,

e200z0 does not work with my compiler, gcc version 4.1.2. In the gcc manual "Using the GNU Compiler Collection" the following values are stated as vallid, but I can not find anywhere (on NXP site) how mpc5606S is mapped to any of the following values

Supported values for cpu type are ‘401’, ‘403’, ‘405’,‘405fp’, ‘440’, ‘440fp’, ‘464’, ‘464fp’, ‘476’, ‘476fp’, ‘505’, ‘601’, ‘602’, ‘603’, ‘603e’, ‘604’, ‘604e’, ‘620’, ‘630’, ‘740’, ‘7400’, ‘7450’, ‘750’, ‘801’, ‘821’, ‘823’, ‘860’, ‘970’, ‘8540’, ‘a2’, ‘e300c2’, ‘e300c3’, ‘e500mc’, ‘e500mc64’, ‘e5500’, ‘e6500’, ‘ec603e’, ‘G3’, ‘G4’, ‘G5’, ‘titan’, ‘power3’, ‘power4’, ‘power5’,  ‘power5+’, ‘power6’, ‘power6x’, ‘power7’, ‘power8’, ‘power9’, ‘powerpc’, ‘powerpc64’, ‘powerpc64le’, and ‘rs64’.

My best guess for now is powerpc.

Hello Anders,

it looks like you do not use GCC which supports this microcontroller. For MPC microcontrollers, you cannot use general gcc compiler. NXP provides modified gcc compiler with VLE support.

Hope it helps.

Hello Martin,

Thank you for the information and the links!

Now I understand how to handle the VLE instruction set in the MPC5606S processor, which is the new thing in my project compared to other projects within my company.

Anders
