CodeWarrior Project Manager
For new users, a Project Wizard takes the
developer step-by-step through a series of
questions to create a project that is ready for
development. The graphical user interface
(GUI) enables the user to easily configure a
project by selecting options covering
everything from compiler optimization and
debugging level, to symbolic output format
(DWARF1, DWARF2, STABS) and target type
(executable or library). Example templates,
called stationery, are provided as a starting
place for the application and include a linker
command file, target initialization files and
project files — making it easy to get your
project up and running.
Enhanced CodeWarrior Debugger
Metrowerks CodeWarrior debugger brings
C/C++ source-level debugging to a new level.
The CodeWarrior debugger assembles a wide
array of high-powered components and
features into a powerful GUI to enable projects
to be completed on time and under budget.
Windows-based Workspace Environment
The CodeWarrior debugger’s user-configurable
workspace allows developers to focus on
complex debugging tasks. Each workspace
contains just the set of views needed for the
task at hand. If it is a source view, cache view
or logic analyzer interface, the developer views
what he wants, when he wants it.
Seamless Integration with Ethernet TAP
The CodeWarrior debugger is fully integrated
with the Ethernet TAP run-control device,
resulting in optimized run control, faster
downloads and more productive developers.
Full-Featured Debugging
The CodeWarrior debugger provides a rich set
of debugging features designed to help the
developer quickly find and repair software
defects, including:
> Breakpoints: Hardware and software
breakpoints are easily set or removed in
source code, assembly or mixed-mode views.
> Eventpoints: Used to perform a task when
program execution arrives at a specific line
of source code or when an associated
conditional expression evaluates to true. Set
an eventpoint to perform a task (i.e., run a
script, play a sound or collect trace data), to
enhance your debugging or testing
processes.
• Log Point - Logs a string to a file and
records messages to the Log window
• Pause Point - Pauses execution to refresh
debugger data – great for watching a
variable change over time
• Script Point - Runs a script or application
• Skip Point - Skips execution of a line of
source code
• Sound Point - Plays a sound when
triggered
• Trace Collection On - Starts collecting
trace data for the Trace window
• Trace Collection Off - Stops collecting
trace data for the Trace window
> Watchpoints: Halt program execution when
a specific location in memory changes value.
After setting a watchpoint in memory, you
can halt program execution when that point
in memory changes value or when the
memory location is accessed.
> Single-Stepping: The CodeWarrior
debugger supports high-level and low-level
language support for Step Into, Step Over
and Step Out.
> Tooltips: Data and icon tooltips enable the
developer to view crucial information easily.
Data Tooltips display a quick, one-time view
of a variable. Icon Tooltips display an items
function when the cursor is placed over it.
> Simple Module and Function Browsing: The
tight integration between the symbol
browser and the debugger enables access
to an internal table of all modules, global
variables and functions in a given debug
context.
> Display Stack Trace: The “Call Stack” view
provides an easy display of all functions
active in the calling chain and enables the
developer to follow the progress of a
program through its hierarchical call
structure.
> Watch View: for monitoring and updating
data in a separate window.
> Memory View: Memory view is the fastest way
to display and modify the contents of target
memory. Quickly find a value in memory,
compare memory regions or upload and
download memory to a file using this view.
CodeWarrior Development Studio mobileGT Processor Edition
> Register view: The register view provides
extensive information on CPU and peripheral
registers, as well as user-defined custom
registers. The registers displayed can also
include bit-level details for an English-
language equivalent of register contents.
> Cache View: Use the Cache window along
with the Metrowerks Ethernet TAP run-
control device, to view cache information
for the MPC5200 processor.
> Mixed Language Debugging: The
CodeWarrior debugger supports mixed
language debugging in C, C++ and
Assembly language by automatically
analyzing the file in view and adjusting the
expression evaluation and data display
accordingly.
> Target Connection Wizard: The Connection
Wizard simplifies and automates the task of
defining new connection definitions based on
hardware and communication parameters.
> Profile Window: Improve the performance of
your application by using the Profile window
to examine profile data that collected from
executing code.
> Command-Line Window: Use the command-
line interface together with various scripting
engines, such as the Microsoft
®
Visual Basic
®
script engine, Java™ script engine, TCL,
Python and Perl to automate testing,
standardize data-logging or uncover that
hard to find problem.
> Start Trace Based on Specified Address
> Start Trace on Address Range
> Trace All in Address Range
> Breakpoint on Trigger
> Trigger Tracing on Breakpoint
Board Bring-Up
Board bring-up is easier using the CodeWarrior debugger by providing
complete control over all board settings, including initial register values
and memory configuration. The CodeWarrior debugger also includes a
comprehensive set of hardware diagnostics and robust flash
programming algorithms supporting an industry-leading flash devices.
Flash Programming
Program on-board flash devices from within the same graphical user
interface used to troubleshoot the application. Over 150 leading flash
devices are supported out-of-the-box.
Logic Analyzer
The most complex embedded systems problems require a powerful
interface to troubleshoot low-level hardware components. Utilize the
CodeWarrior debugger in concert with a logic analyzer to quickly and
easily understand complex signals on an embedded hardware platform.
Supporting the Agilent logic analysis systems, Metrowerks has
seamlessly integrated Logic Analyzer communications into the
CodeWarrior debugger. Including:
> Trace On/Off
> Trace Everything
> Trace History
Hardware Diagnostics
CodeWarrior development studio comes with diagnostics that enable
the developer to help determine if the basic hardware is functional.
These tests include:
> Memory Read/Write: Performs diagnostic tests by writing and
reading memory through the emulator interface
> Scope Loop: Repeated memory reads and writes through the
emulator interface.
> Memory Tests: The Memory Tests component lets you perform three
different tests on the hardware:
> Walking ones
> Address
> Bus noise
Specify any combination of the tests and the number of passes to
perform them. Save a log file to memory or view data in the log
window after all tests are complete.

CodeWarrior III Compiler
The CodeWarrior III compiler, combines
industry-proven optimization technology with
the versatility and control needed to fully
exploit today’s complex PowerPC ISA CPUs.
Fast, tight, correct code – that’s what the
CodeWarrior III compiler is all about.
Proven Optimization Technology
A large number of highly refined, global, local,
CPU-specific and application-specific
(profile-driven) optimization techniques
enable the programmer to fine-tune the
compiler’s output to match the application’s
requirements. Programmers can select
various optimizations to balance execution
speed with code size while intelligent
defaults can generate optimal code with no
user interaction.
Advanced C/C++ compiler – Designed for
highly embedded development support. Key
features include:
> Compatibility with the latest ANSI C++
specs (ISO/IEC 14882:1998E) and the
ANSI C spec (X3.159-1989)
> Standards conformance (ANSI and EABI)
for maximum tool interoperability

Profiler – profiling options contained in the
compiler instrument application code, which
when executed save profile information that
can be viewed by the profiler utility. This
profile data can also be fed back
automatically to the compiler for additional
code optimization based on execution paths.
CodeWarrior Text Editor
CodeWarrior development studio includes a
full-featured, user-configurable, windowed
text editor with syntax coloring, auto-
indenting and more. Quickly identifying
language keywords and constructs,
integrating powerful search capabilities that
can find values within multiple files and being
highly user-configurable by permitting a
developer to change the key bindings, font
type, font size, color scheme and syntax
allocation, placement and alignment of code
and data in memory.
coloring quickly and easily, the CodeWarrior
text editor provides a single, consistent editor
interface for all host and target development
combinations.
Search Engine
Industry observers estimate that software
developers spend nearly half their time
searching for basic information buried in
application code. As applications grow in
complexity, the time required finding,
analyzing and modifying code increases as a
proportion of total engineering effort. Fast,
semantic code navigation makes it possible
to find specific code structures among
hundreds of directories and files quickly and
easily. Seamless integration between the
CodeWarrior search engine and the text
editor also increases user productivity by
reflecting all code changes immediately in the
browser. No recompilation necessary.
Plug-in Facility
The plug-in facility of the CodeWarrior
development studio lets you extend the IDE to
include new features or to upgrade/replace
existing features. Users and third parties can
develop a plug-in to create a new interface or
