As outlined in Quickstart for Processor Expert in Eclipse, it is easy to create a new Processor Expert project. There are three shared files which are maintained by Processor Expert. At the same time I need to change them with my code. So how does this work, and how can I configure it to my needs?
Ok, you are probably new to Eclipse, and want to do the fun part: Creating an Eclipse Processor Expert project in CodeWarrior for MCU10.2. Cool! Here are some steps and tips to make it smooth from the beginning…
I have that wonderful project in MCU10.2 with Processor Expert using Embedded Components. It took me a while to carefully configure the settings, and now it works like a charm. I have another project and need the same components and settings in there. But how?
I have to make an application configuration decision: Using USB CDC or RS-232?
In the lab I use a Tower system which offers both RS-232 and USB connectivity. It uses a FSShell component to communicate with a terminal on the host. Typically this is using an RS-232 serial cable connected to the host. Well, the challenge is that today most notebooks do not have a serial port any more. But they have USB.
Ahhrg! Again, my microcontroller stopped in an interrupt. And I have no clue why?
Using Processor Expert in MCU10 is a great thing as it takes care about the vector table. Usually the default settings for code generation are fine, but not in my case here. If you run into a spurious and unexpected interrupt, you stop in the Cpu_Interrupt() handler:

One thing which is missing with the CodeWarrior for MCU10.2 announcement: MCU10.2 does not support the S12(X) from Freescale.
With this I still have several projects not ported to eclipse. So they are still implemented using the ‘classic’ (non-eclipse based) version of CodeWarrior for S12(X). And I’m using FreeRTOS in the eclipse based IDE with Processor Expert for S08, ColdFire and Kinetis, but not yet for the S12(X). What now?

CodeWarrior for Microcontrollers V10.2 has been released and is available for download from the Freescale MCU website!

In my view the V10.2 is a big step forward. Nothing is perfect, nor is V10.2. But V10.2 is so much better compared to the V10.1 release. Yes, indeed continuous improvements. Here is why…..
