When is it necessary to download the Codewarrior MCU 10.5 (Eclipse) updates (like com.freescale.mcu10_5.PEX_update.v1_0_0.zip) vs letting the IDE find updates and install them? There are currently 9 updates shown on the website CodeWarrior for MCU 10.5 Updates but the IDE finds at least 15 when a new install does Check for Updates. At least some of the updates are duplicated between the two methods.
you can use either use update from
http://www.freescale.com/webapp/sps/site/overview.jsp?code=CW_UPDATES_MCU_10_5
or
on line update from CW IDE
the updates arrangement may different for these two methods but . both of them includes all the available CW10.5 updates
