Overview

Reach the full potential of your

communications application with CodeWarrior

v10.0 for Power Architecture® development

tools for the Freescale QorIQ processors built

on Power Architecture® technology. Integrated

within an Eclipse framework, the CodeWarrior

Development Studio for Power Architecture

technology combines GNU build tools and

highly advanced asymmetric multiprocessor

(AMP)/symmetric multiprocessor (SMP) Linux®

multicore debugging with software analysis

capabilities, allowing you to build, debug

and maximize the performance of Power

Architecture-based multicore applications.

Highlights

• Feature-rich, Eclipse-based IDE

• Multicore AMP/Linux SMP debugger with

multicore run-control commands

• Highly advanced software analysis tools,

including program and data path acceleration

architecture (DPAA) trace tools and extended,

integrated support for popular open source

tools such as the GNU Linux Trace Tool

(LTTng), OProfile and Valgrind

The software analysis capabilities vary by the processor that is being targeted. This is partially the

result of the fact that different processors have different capabilities, including different accelerators

and different debug, trace and event counting capabilities.

• Support for Linux application and kernel

development (tool capabilities vary with the

targeted processor)

Software Analysisi

Several of Freescale’s QorIQ processors

include advanced features such as packet

processing accelerators (i.e., parts of DPAA

on the P4080). The CodeWarrior Development

Studio for Power Architecture technology

provides software analysis capabilities that

give developers the tools they need to tune

application performance or debug complex

timing issues issues.

Trace Analysis

For applicable target devices, CodeWarrior

trace tools provide developers with timing

information for:

• Program flow trace

• Data access

• Packet processing events (available for

some processing units)

• Linux kernel events using the LTTng
