Software development kit (SDK)
An open source software development kit (SDK) built specifically for your processor and evaluation board selections. The MCUXpresso SDK includes support for 32-bit DSCs.
System Configuration Tools
A comprehensive suite of system configuration tools, including pins, clocks, peripherals and more. The MCUXpresso Config. Tools include support for 32-bit DSCs.
IDE
CodeWarrior embedded software development studio is a complete integrated development environment (IDE) for the DSC architecture based on the Eclipse open development platform.
Runtime Debugging Tool
Real-time debug monitor and data visualization tool that enables runtime configuration and tuning of embedded software applications.
CodeWarrior® Development Studio v8.3 for 56800/E Digital Signal Controllers allows both 56800 and 56800/E developers to build and deploy sophisticated systems quickly and easily by integrating support for both architectures into a single product.
Development system to create, configure, optimize, migrate and deliver software components that generate source code for our silicon. Recommended for devices that do not have MCUXpresso support.
The DSC56800EX Quick Start is a software environment for embedded applications development. Recommended for devices that do not have MCUXpresso support.
32-bit DSC (56F8xxxx series) tools include CodeWarrior IDE (CW), MCUXpresso Config Tools and MCUXpresso Software Development Kit (SDK). The MCUXpresso Config Tools generate DSC configuration and create a CodeWarrior IDE based project from a specific SDK package. Please refer to the MCUXpresso SDK documentation for details on available software and how to get started the DSC evaluation boards.
16-bit DSC development tools include Processor Expert or a Quick Start tool, which are integrated into the CodeWarrior IDE. Processor Expert software is available after the installation of the CodeWarrior tool suite. The DSC56800EX_Quick_Start tool is a software environment for embedded application development but needs to be installed separately and then integrated into CodeWarrior manually.
