Introduction to the phyCORE-MPC565
Freescale CodeWarrior consists of the IDE and Debugger core tools,
which are structured as follows:
IDE:
Windows-based Integrated Development Environment housing the
following tools:
•
Project Manager:
shows the collection of files used to build an
output file
•
Editor:
double-clicking on a file in the Project
Manager window invokes the Editor
•
Build System:
IDE plug-in “tools” to create and then convert
source code to output code
•
C compiler:
IDE
plug-in
•
Linker:
IDE
plug-in
•
Make:
IDE plug-in
•
Debugger:
Fully active source-level and assembly-level
Windows-based debugger
Upon installation of CodeWarrior, the IDE and Debugger executables
are located in the
C:\Program Files\Freescale\CodeWarrior EPPC
5xx V8.7\Bin
folder. All tool commands are easily accessible via
intuitive pull-down menus with prompted selections.
As depicted below, CodeWarrior’s editor, C/C++ compiler, linker and
debugger comprise the basic tool chain. The remaining plug-in tool
components assist in code navigation and build control.
