Introduction

This user's manual is targeted for Freescale 56F8xxx application developers. Its purpose is to

describe the development environment, the software modules and the tools for the 56F8xxx and

the Application Programming Interface (API). Simply, this manual describes how to use the

Freescale DSP56800E_Quick_Start tool to develop software for the Freescale 56F8xxx Digital

Signal Controllers (DSC).

Overview

The DSP56800E_Quick_Start development environment provides fully debugged peripheral

drivers, examples and interfaces, that allow programmers to create their own C application code,

independent of the core architecture. This environment has been developed to complement the

existing development environment for Freescale 56F8xxx embedded processors. It provides a

software infrastructure that allows development of efficient, ready to use high level software

applications, that are fully portable and reusable between different core architectures. The

maximum portability is achieved for devices with comparable on-chip peripheral modules.

This manual contains information specific only to DSP56800E_Quick_Start tool as it applies to

the Freescale 56F8xxx software development. Therefore it is required that users of the

DSP56800E_Quick_Start tool should be familiar with the 56800E family in general, as described

in the DSP56800E 16-Bit DSP Core Reference Manual (DSP56800ERM/D), MC56F8300

Peripheral User Manual (MC56F8300UM/D) and the 56F8000 Peripheral Reference Manual

(MC56F8000RM), before continuing. The 56F8xxx devices are supported by a complete set of

hardware development boards - evaluation modules (EVMs) and development system cards for

fast system development (e.g. Legacy Motor Interface Daughter Card).

Freescale DSP56800E_Quick_Start tool is designed for and can be fully integrated with Freescale

CodeWarrior development tools. Before starting to explore the full feature set of the

DSP56800E_Quick_Start, one should install and become familiar with the CodeWarrior

development environment.

All together, the DSP56800E_Quick_Start, the CodeWarrior, and the EVMs create a complete

and scalable tool solution for easy, fast and efficient development.
