Getting Started

It is assumed that

• You are familiar with GIT :-)
• You have Processor Expert (e.g. with CodeWarrior for MCU, Eclipse based, http://freescale.com/cwmcu10) installed. The current version is 10.3. Things might be backward compatible, but it is recommended to use the latest and greatest one.
• Processor Expert is enabled to create/change/edit components (CDE (Component Development Environment) (NOTE: working with Freescale to get a free license for this for CodeWarrior, right now you need either an evaluation license or a professional license).

The steps below are for CodeWarrior for MCU10.3:

1. Start Eclipse/CodeWarrior with a new workspace
2. Import the component project into the workspace (e.g. drag&drop the Components\LED folder into the workspace)
3. Open the Processor Expert views with a menu: Processor Expert > Show Views
4. In the 'Components' view you can edit the component properties and methods
5. The driver code can be found in the 'CodeWarrior Projects' view, inside the Drivers > sw folder (the driver has *.drv extension)
6. To export the component in a *.PEupd package: right click on project folder, then select 'Export > Component Development Environment > Export to Package' and follow the steps.
7. A *.PEupd package can be imported into CodeWarrior using the menu 'Processor Expert > Import Package'

Have fun :-)
