This NCSW software is provided for historical reasons and is not considered suitable for new designs. NXP recommendation would be to use Linux instead of the NCSW

NetComm Software (NCSW) is a comprehensive package that supplies a variety of tools and software code to help develop networking solutions on supported PowerQUICC^® and QorIQ^® processor platforms.

NCSW provides both static (automatic configuration) and run time (initialization, drivers and monitoring) capabilities.
Accompanied with comprehensive documentation, NCSW is designed to help speed your development time in today’s challenging markets.
