CodeWarrior™ Advanced Tools Accelerate Development For Motorola MPC5500 Architecture

Powertrain Developers to Jump Start Projects Months Prior to Silicon Availability with CodeWarrior Development Studio

EMBEDDED SYSTEMS CONFERENCE, San Francisco - April 22, 2003-In response to customer demands to quickly and cost-effectively leverage the emerging embedded platforms in the Powertrain segment of the transportation industry, Metrowerks has created CodeWarrior™ Development Studio for MPC5500 Family, Simulator Edition. The release of this comprehensive tool chain months prior to availability of the MPC5500 embedded controller from Motorola (NYSE:MOT) is expected to decrease development time.

Integration of industry leading technologies allows developers to work at top efficiency without switching between various application windows. The CodeWarrior Development Studio provides tightly integrated multi-core simulator, C compilers for the e500 and eTPU, a multi-core debugger and set of profiling tools. The tool suite also includes plug-ins for integration with existing development process, such as Configuration Management Systems (ClearCase, SourceSafe and others) and Motor Industry Software Reliability Association (MISRA) compliance checking using PC-LINT.

"Having worked closely with Powertrain customers on their next generation tools requirements, we recognize the need for early availability of a comprehensive tool chain," said Michael O'Donnell, automotive industry manager, Metrowerks. "We know there is no time for piecemeal combinations of compilers and debuggers, or for juggling multiple vendors whose products don't integrate. That's why Metrowerks has delivered an integrated tool chain ahead of silicon, so Powertrain customers can begin development for the MPC5500 today."

Motorola's MPC5500 32-Bit Embedded Controllers combines a high performance 32-bit RISC core with an integrated set of peripherals, embedded FLASH memory, and more for a more cost-effective, off-the-shelf solution. Motorola's portfolio of high-performance embedded controllers is ideally suited for a wide range of automotive and industrial applications - especially those requiring control intensive capabilities.

Demonstrations of the CodeWarrior Development Studio for MPC5500 Family, Simulator Edition, are available at the Metrowerks Transportation products exhibit at ESC West within the Motorola booth, #1302.
