Embedded Target for Motorola MPC555

Before You Begin

This tutorial requires the following specific hardware and software in addition to the Embedded Target for Motorola MPC555:

• Phytec phyCORE-MPC555 development board

• The tutorial model utilizes two LEDs on the phyCORE-MPC555 board. These LEDs are connected to pins MPIO32B0 and MPIO32B1 on the MPC555 MIOS digital output pins. If you are using a different development board, you may be able to obtain the same functionality by making similar connections.

• If you want to download generated code to the target board via CAN, you will need one of the following supported CAN cards, and the drivers supplied by the manufacturer:
• Vector-Informatik CanAC2PCI
• Vector-Informatik CanAC2
• Vector-Informatik CanCardX
• Vector-Informatik CanPari

If you have not yet done so, install your Vector-Informatik CAN card and drivers. See your Vector-Informatik documentation for instructions on installation and verification. In addition, after installing the drivers from Vector-Informatik, you must locate the vcand32.dll library, and add a path to the location where vcand32.dll was installed to the Windows system path.

Note    Please check the Vector Informatik Web site at http://www.vector-informatik.com/ to make sure you have drivers suitable for your PC operating system version. Note that serious system problems can arise if you use drivers for the wrong PC operating system version (e.g., installing drivers for Windows NT on a Windows 2000 system).

• Wind River Systems Diab Data D-CC cross-compiler

• Make sure that your target preferences are set correctly for the Diab development tools:
  • Set the TargetCompiler preference to 'Diab':

    settargetprefs('mpc555dk','TargetCompiler','Diab')

  • Set the TargetCompilerPath preference to the location of your Diab cross compiler. For example:

    settargetprefs('mpc555dk','TargetCompilerPath',...

    'D:\Applications\diab\4.3g\WIN32\bin')

• Wind River Systems SingleStep debugger (version 7.6.2)

• If you have not yet done so, set the TargetDebuggerExe preference to the location of SingleStep. For example:

  settargetprefs('mpc555dk','TargetCompilerPath','D:\Apps\Diab\4.3g\win32\bin')

  settargetprefs('mpc555dk','TargetDebuggerExe',...

  'D:\Apps\singlestep\sds762\cmd\bdmp58.exe')

  SingleStep is required to download boot code to the MPC555 flash memory. Once the boot code is loaded into flash memory, you can download code to the processor entirely over the CAN network as described later in this tutorial. If you have not yet downloaded boot code to the MPC555 flash memory, please read and follow the instructions in Configuring SingleStep and Downloading Boot Code.

  You can also use SingleStep to download and execute generated code in MPC555 RAM, as described later in this tutorial.
