Makefile Importer Wizard availability for Power Arch V8.8/SP1, CW IDE 5.9.0

[Zoanie]

Hi,

    I have the MPC8544DS with

o CW Dev Studio, Power Arch v8.8 - SP1 for 837x, build 90107

o Windows CW IDE 5.9.0 build 2521

    I would like to create a project using the latest denx.de U-boot source.  I built the U-boot ELF image and flashed the DS eeprom.  It comes up just fine on the MPC8544DS, (although the U-boot Flattened Device Tree needed some hand tweaking).  I would like to create a project to debug the U-boot source in preparation for our target board.  It seems the 'Makefile Importer Wizard' would be ideal for this purpose.  However I do not see the option is available in the 'File->New' drop down menu. 

    I enabled the 'All Info' level for 'Plugin Diagnostics' in 'Edit->IDE Preferences->IDE Startup' and checked for a DLL startup in the output file.  Nothing is reporting any errors.  It seems the application is missing.  Is this option not available for the Power architecture?

    Any other resource information/caveats/hints, etc., for this type of project would be appreciated.

thx

I'm not sure the MakeFile Importer is what you need. Have you looked in the Targeting Power Architecture manual? (It's located in the Help folder.) They have a section in there on debugging Linux kernel code that should explain what you need to do.
