Processor Expert performance

[SSK]

Dear Forum Members,

I am using MC9S12GC32CPB16 in one of my projects. I am using Codewarrior 4.6 build 6345. I am using Processor Expert feature for my project coding. While working on the code, I came across a discussion on optimization  for code size and execution speed. Whether code generated by Processor expert adds extra overhead from size as well as execution point of view for overall project code? Whether it is beneficial to use Processor expert though it eases coding for processor peripherals? I am using SPI, SCI, Simulated SPI, Watchdog, Timer, Capture, RTI, BitIO beans for my project. Your earliest help in this regard will help me decide whether to use PE or standard way of coding.

Thanks in advance.

Processor Expert generates peripheral drivers code depending on the bean settings.

Information about possible optimalization of the generated code can be found in the chapter Embedded Beans Optimizations (Application Design/Embedded Beans Optimizations) in the help of  Processor Expert (menu command Help/Processor Expert/Processor Expert Help).

Please don´t miss also  information about optimalization through the Configuration inspector in the chapter Configuration Inspector (User Interfece/Inspector) in the menu command Processor Expert Help.

This isn't relevant to this discussion, but needs to be said:

Please do NOT post the same question to different forums! It causes confusion and has people spend their valuable time (particularly the contributors) answering the same subject. I have deleted the posting in the CodeWarrior General forum.
