Complimentary licences of leading IDE for DSP controllers offered

15 August 2001 Design Automation

Motorola's Semiconductor Products Sector is offering for the first time a complimentary licence of the award-winning Metrowerks CodeWarrior for DSP56800 integrated development environment (IDE) with the purchase of a DSP56800 evaluation module (EVM) or a one-year Metrowerks Standard Embedded Support Package. The promotional offer, available for a limited time, is intended to help designers streamline application development and decrease time-to-market for embedded systems based on 56800 controllers.

According to the company, the 56800 architecture is the first in the industry to integrate into a single core the control functionality and ease-of-use of micro-controllers with the performance of traditional DSPs. The hybrid controllers in the 56800 family are suited for a multitude of control, telephony and other applications requiring highly integrated DSPs with the ease of use of an MCU and the flexibility enabled by integrated flash memory.

"This Metrowerks CodeWarrior for DSP56800 promotional offer is confirmation of Motorola's efforts to ensure the availability of high quality software development tools for the general market," said Debbie Drysdale, Vice President and General Manager, Motorola's DSP Standard Products Division. "Motorola is focused on making it as easy as possible for customers to design with the 56800 hybrid controllers."

Metrowerks' CodeWarrior tool provides navigation, editing and debugging capabilities for DSP56800-based embedded systems. It includes an intuitive graphical project management and build system, highly-optimised C compiler that is engineered to ensure small code size and fast execution time, assembler, linker, graphical source level debugger and an advanced instruction-set simulation that enables software design ahead of hardware.
