CW for Linux v. 5.9, 5329EVB, no Linux Stationery Wizard

[hindenbu]

I'm attempting to evaluate CodeWarrior DS v. 5.9, Linux-hosted, for an MCF5329EVB target.  I bring up the IDE without a problem, and I proceed to File->New...  From there, according to the included documentation, I should be able to select an option, "Linux Stationery Wizard."  My version is giving me only two choices, "Empty Project" or "External Build Wizard."

Can anyone provide insight as to why I'm not seeing the LSW as an option?  I'm seriously hoping this has nothing to do with the CW being an eval version...I need all the wizard-help I can get with evaluating CW and embedded Linux as any sort of potential solution, and when the supplied documentation starts me out by telling me to use the LSW to create a new project, and I can't...that kinda puts a damper on things. 

Any comments would be appreciated; thanks.

Hello

I am not an embedded Linus specialist, but you may not using the appropriate tool to develop embedded Linux applications.

Here you need "CodeWarrior for ColdFire, Linux Application Edition (Windows)"

To retrieve that software:

- Go to www.freescale.com

- Click on the link "ColdFire® Architectures (V2, V3, V4) "

- Click on the link "CodeWarrior for ColdFire Architectures - Linux Editions" 

- Click on the link "CWX-MCF-WLAPP-EX" to download the software.

Hi Crasy; thanks for responding.  Part of what I need to evaluate is the tool's ability to work with/alter/debug the kernel, so my understanding is that I'll need the Platform Edition.  Since the Platform Edition appears to only be available for Linux hosts, and not Windows hosts, I'm running the install on a Linux host laptop.

I may have downloaded the wrong software, but what I tried to download/evaluate is the "CodeWarrior for ColdFire, Linux Platform Edition (Linux)."  Could you maybe direct me to someone who's into the Linux-hosted CW software?  I appreciate the help.

Hello

Yes if you want to debug the Linux kernel itself you need the platform edition.

And Platform edition is not available on Windows Host. You need a Linux Machine or at least a virtual Linux System.

You need the "CodeWarrior for ColdFire, Linux Platform Edition (Linux)."

I will not be able to help you further with that as I am not a Linux Expert.
