Roll over image to zoom in

The DSC56800EX Quick Start is a software environment for the embedded applications development. It is based on the graphical configuration tool (GCT) and a unified application programming interface (API)-style of accessing the peripheral modules. The Quick_Start helps users to accelerate the application development, to become quickly familiar with the target device and to create real-time applications rapidly and efficiently while retaining complete control over each portion of the underlying hardware.

The Quick_Start tool version 2.6 is now available for the 56800EX family of Digital Signal Controllers. It provides the out of box support for 56F82xxx and 56F84xxx devices and evaluation boards. The version 2.5 is still available for download and supports the 56800 and 56800E families of DSC (56F83xx, 56F82xx and 56F80xx).

New in Version 2.6

  • Supports MC56F82748 and MC56F84789 DSC platforms.
  • Out of box support for the new DSC Tower® evaluation boards.
  • Project templates and example applications available for CodeWarrior® 10.3.
  • Discontinued support for MC56F83xx, MC56F82xx and MC56F80xx (version 2.5 is still available for download).
  • Graphical Configuration Tools supports the whole MC56F82xxx and MC56F84xxx families and also supports the older MC56F8xxx families to enable easy project migration to new platforms.
  • The latest FreeMASTER driver files included enabling to connect to target device over UART, JTAG or CAN interface.

Features

Core-System Infrastructure

  • The core-system infrastructure creates the fundamental environment for the processor operation and enables further integration with other components, such as low-level drivers. The core components are:
    • Common C types and macros. All Quick_Start declarations use the same set of types
    • Architecture-specific register maps for all peripheral modules implemented as C structures
    • Project templates for creating a new project in the CodeWarrior® framework
    • Debugger and linker configuration files for each device
    • The startup code and interrupt vector table are both graphically configurable from within the GCT

Graphical Configuration Tool

  • The GCT is an easy-to-use graphical interface in which the user defines a startup configuration for all peripheral modules, including the processor core and interrupt vector table

Low-Level Peripheral Drivers

  • The peripheral drivers isolate the hardware-specific functionality into a set of driver commands with a well-defined API. The API implements a thin abstraction layer between the software and the hardware levels. Such an isolation enables a sufficient level of portability or architectural and hardware independence for the application code. It also allows separating the C application from hardware particularities that are often tough to code in C, such as access to registers with read or write side effects or interrupt flag clearing mechanisms

FreeMASTER Software Drivers

  • The FreeMASTER is a graphical visualization and control tool which is freely available to be used and redistributed with applications based on the NXP ® microprocessor units

Example Applications and User Documentation

  • Another important part of the Quick_Start tool is a set of sample applications for all supported development boards that are available from NXP. Although very small and simple, the sample applications show the basic principles of the GCT and demonstrate correct usage of the low-level drivers
