Legacy Software License Codewarrior 10.4.1

[MMKSN]

Hello,

is there a way to use codewarrior 10.4.1 for legacy devices like Power Quicc III with a free license at this time 2026?

Hello,

There is no free/Special Edition available for CodeWarrior for Power Architecture (the tool supporting PowerQUICC III, e.g., MPC85xx family).

PowerQUICC III devices (MPC8540, MPC8548, MPC8560, MPC8572, etc.) are supported by CodeWarrior Development Studio for Power Architecture v10.x, which requires a paid license (Basic, Standard, or Professional suite).

The paid options through NXP are:

• CW Development Suite – Basic – Lowest tier, includes Power Architecture (Eclipse, Windows & Linux hosts), but may have code/data size limitations.
• CW Development Suite – Professional – Full-featured, no size limitations, includes Classic and Eclipse IDEs, Linux and Windows.
• CW Development Suites for Networked Applications – Specifically targets PowerQUICC I/II/II Pro/III, QorIQ P/T-series, and Layerscape.

Regards
