Embedded Target for Motorola MPC555    

Setting Target Preferences

This section describes environmental settings associated with the Embedded Target for Motorola MPC555. These settings, which persist across MATLAB sessions and different models, are referred to as target preferences. Target preferences let you specify the location of your MPC555 cross-compiler, the communications port to be used for downloading code, and other parameters affecting the generation, building, and downloading of code.

Target preferences are stored in data objects called target preference objects. These objects let you create different named objects for different sets of preferences. We provide a "factory" preference object with a default configuration. Table 1-1, Target Preferences Summary, summarizes the preference parameters and their defaults.

At any time, only one active target preference object exists. We will refer to this as the active target preferences. You can instantiate as many target preference objects as you require, but only the active target preferences influence the operation of the Embedded Target for Motorola MPC555.
