Quick Start

This chapter provides the information required to get the DSP56800E_Quick_Start tool installed
and running.
1.2.1 Install CodeWarrior Development Tools
CodeWarrior Development Studio 56800/E Hybrid Controllers provides a complete software
development environment for Freescale hybrid controllers. CodeWarrior is a windows based
Integrated Development Environment (IDE) with highly efficient C compilers.
As previously mentioned, Freescale DSP56800E_Quick_Start tool is designed for and can be
integrated with CodeWarrior development tools. With CodeWarrior tools, users can build
applications and integrate other software included as part of the DSP56800E_Quick_Start release.
Once the software is built, CodeWarrior tools allows users to download executable images into
the target platform and run or debug the downloaded code.
The rest of this section describes the general installation process of the CodeWarrior tools.
However, it is recommended to use the installation guide attached to the actual version of
CodeWarrior, if available.
To start the installation process, perform the following steps:
1. Insert the CodeWarrior CD-ROM into your computer's CD-ROM drive.
If Auto Install is disabled on your computer, click the Start button, select Run, and type the
CD-ROM's drive letter and \Setup.exe in the Open: text box. (e.g. D:\Setup.exe)
2. Follow the CodeWarrior software installation instructions on your screen.
Note: After installing CodeWarrior, remember to restart the computer. This restart ensures that
newly installed drivers will be available for use.
3. Register CodeWarrior
• Click the Start button, then select CodeWarrior Registration from the CodeWarrior group. This
runs the MWRegister.exe program.
• Enter your registration number and contact information. If you do not have a registration number,
leave the Registration Number text box blank. • Click OK and send the resulting text file (e.g.
MWRegistration.txt) to license@metrowerks.com. A license key will be sent to you via E-mail.
4. Install the license key.
• Locate the license.dat file in the CodeWarrior installation directory and open this file with any
standard text editor, for example, Notepad.
• Copy or type the key starting on a new line at the bottom of the license.dat file. For more detailed
instructions see the License_Install.txt file in the Licensing directory.
• Save the license.dat file.
