Remember Processor Expert? Just to refresh your mind, is a development system to create, configure, optimize, migrate, and deliver software components that generate source code for Freescale silicon, supporting S08/RS08, S12(X), Coldfire, Coldfire+, Kinetis, DSC 56800/E, QorIQ and some other Power Architecture processors. And well, what's the such new great thing in it? Take a look: Microcontroller Driver Suite v10.0 is a software management system to perform Processor Expert's tasks and provide a low-cost, efficient solution for your designs. Just recently a great update has been made into it: the driver suite is delivered and installed as a comprehensive product with the Eclipse 3.7 (Indigo) IDE. It is also available as an Eclipse 3.7 plug-in. This extends Processor Expert software functionality to non-CodeWarrior IDE users for the supported platforms. The cool, useful part of all this is that Processor Expert technology packaged in the driver suite makes it much easier to optimize the low-level intricacies of a hardware platform. It also eliminates the necessity for one-size-fits-all drivers, therefore the driver suite allows you to design custom peripheral drivers ideally suited to your needs, without the need for extensive hardware knowledge! And just as aesy as that, you get a whole new set of possibilities to empower your design! You can try the software by just clicking here Microcontrollers Driver Suite v10.0 And you can also get the Driver Suite for Eclipse by clicking on here Microcontroller Driver Suite v10.0, for Eclipse 3.7 (Indigo)

When you get a good answer, it is extremely helpful to everyone if you mark it as a correct answer. A hundred people may look at a hot topic, and when there is an answer, they can jump straight to it. So for everyone's benefit, when you get a good answer, mark it! It's part of being a good community member. As well, but much less importantly, one of the things we're going to measure is how quickly the community answers questions. But we're far more interested in people being able to find the right answer. So from time to time, if it looks like people forget to mark answers, we may go through and do it for you. But we aren't your mom. Help your colleagues, and mark the good answers. In fact, you know better than us what's right.

The whole idea of a community is sharing, and the component exchange is the focus for that. Processor Expert Software is all about reusable components. You can use the Component Development Environment to create complete components, typically as .upd files. You may package these up with documentation or other ancillary files in a zip file. You can use the PEx tools to export components or sets of components configured for particular hardware or use cases. Some components have dozens if not hundreds of properties, and preconfiguring them for particular situations can be extraordinarily useful, save a lot of work, and help someone avoid a lot of pain. You can export these as .pef files. You can save entire board configurations this way as .peb files. All of these - .upd, .pef, and .peb files are excellent contributions to the Component Exchange. We have created a category within the community for this purpose, and this purpose only. When you upload a component, categorize it as belonging in the Component Exchange category. Please limit items categorized this way to actual Processor Expert components (.upd, .pef, .peb files packaged up as you see fit). It's as easy as 1, 2, 3. 1: Upload a file 2: Describe, categorize, and tag it In the description, provide useful information - if there are architectural or distribution limitations for example. Remember, we reserve this category for the sole purpose of identifying components we share in the exchange. You can set tags to assist others who are searching. Other members can narrow their search by simply picking the Component Exchange category, and then search based on tags. It's that easy. 3: Publish it Click the publish button at the bottom, and you're done. Your contribution to the community is greatly appreciated. Note that all of the components can be rated and reviewed. PLEASE DO! The more we tell each other what's good, the better off we all are. THANKS!
