Where to find the latest Altivec Technology, Programming Interface Manual?

[aloishahn]

Hi,

I am looking for a good starting point for writing Altivec Code for the e6500 (T2080/T4240).

The programming interface manual is dated from 6/1999

http://cache.freescale.com/files/32bit/doc/ref_manual/ALTIVECPIM.pdf

Is it the latest document?

Actually I tried vec_malloc(), which seems to have no C prototype.

I can give more details, it desired.

best regards

Alois

The most recent version of "AltiVec Technology Programming Instructions Manual for Power ISA Processors" (ALTIVECPOWERISAPIM.pdf) is preliminary and not published yet.

If you wish to get preliminary version of this document, please contact your local Freescale representative.

Looking to this document, I see the vec_malloc() is somehow mentioned in Section 3.5, but there is no changes in this section, this section is exactly the same as in old ALTIVECPIM.pdf (6/1999).

If the function have no prototype this means you have some library missing.
