To create a new Microcontrollers project using the MPC56xx target:
- Select File > New > Bareboard Project.
The Create an MCU Bareboard Project page appears.
- Enter the name of your project in the Project Name text box.
- Click Next.
The Devices page appears.
- Select the target device or board for your project from the MPC56xx family. For example, select Qorivva > MPC56xxK Family > MPC5675K.
- Click Next.
The Connections page appears.
- Select the available connection, for example, P&E USB Multilink PPCNEXUS.
- Click Next.
The LSM/DPM configuration page appears.
- Click Next to display the Language and Build Tools Options page.
- Click Finish.
The project is created and appears in the CodeWarrior Projects view.
- Select the project in the CodeWarrior Projects view.
- Select Project > Build Project to build your project. Note: You can create projects in a similar way on the ColdFire V2- V4, DSC and e200 derivatives. For DSC, select the required device from the 56800/E (DSC) family in the Devices page of the New Project Wizard . The e200 derivative is the core of MPC56xx target.
The MPC56xx target also supports MPC5668G and MPC5668E derivatives. The MPC5668G/E derivatives are compatible 32-bit microcontrollers built on Power Architecture technology. Both MPC5668G and MPC5668E have two e200 cores, e200z6 (Core 0) and e200z0 (Core 1). Only e200z6 core provides tracing capability with the following features:
- Trace is collected only in overwrite mode
- Timestamp is always zero in the Trace Data viewer
- Only Trace Data and Timeline viewers are available
While creating a MPC5668G/E project, select Qorivva > MPC5668G/E Family > MPC5668G/E to choose the required target and follow the New Project Wizard steps. In the Power Architecture Core Configuration page, select the required core configuration. Select e200z6+e200z0h if you want to work on both cores, else select e200z6 to work on a single core.
