Overview

Processor Expert provides an efficient development environment for rapid application development of the embedded applications. You can develop embedded applications for a wide range of microcontrollers and microprocessor systems using Processor Expert.

Processor Expert is integrated as a plug-in into the CodeWarrior IDE. You can access Processor Expert from the CodeWarrior IDE using the Processor Expert menu in the CodeWarrior IDE menu bar. The Processor Expert plug-in generates code from the embedded components and the CodeWarrior IDE manages the project files, and compilation and debug processes.

Figure below shows the Processor Expert menu in the CodeWarrior IDE menu bar.

Note: For more information about how to create a new project, refer to the Processor Expert Tutorials chapter or Creating Application using Processor Expert chapter for step-by-step instructions on how to create a new Processor Expert project.
Note: Processor Expert generates all drivers during the code generation process. The generated files are automatically inserted into the active (default) target in the CodeWarrior project. For more information on generated files, refer to the Code Generation chapter.
