CodeWarrior IDE

Targeting MC56F83xx/DSP5685x Controllers
• Build Target — The group of settings and files that determine what your code is,
as well as control the process of compiling and linking.
The CodeWarrior IDE lets you specify multiple build targets. For example, a project
can contain one build target for debugging and another build target optimized for a
particular operating system (platform target). These build targets can share files, even
though each build target uses its own settings. After you debug the program, the only
actions necessary to generate a final version are selecting the project’s optimized build
target and using a single Make command.
The CodeWarrior IDE’s extensible architecture uses plug-in compilers and linkers to
target various operating systems and microprocessors. For example, the IDE uses a
GNU tool adapter for internal calls to DSP56800E development tools.
Most features of the CodeWarrior IDE apply to several hosts, languages, and build
targets. However, each build target has its own unique features. This manual explains
the features unique to the CodeWarrior Development Studio for Motorola 56800/E
Hybrid Controllers.
