Version 2.0.2

Released: 07 Mar 2005
 

Switch Target Configuration Block

This new block runs a convenience function that configures your model and Target Preferences to one of a set of pre-defined hardware configurations. The function can also be used as a template for setting up your own customized configurations.

Version 2.0.2, part of MathWorks Release 14 with Service Pack 2, also includes the latest bug fixes. See the Release Notes for details.

Version 2.0.1

Released: 22 Sep 2004
 

Version 2.0.1 includes the latest bug fixes.

Support for Model Reference

Model reference is now supported by the Real-Time (RT) target. Processor in the Loop (PIL) and Algorithm Export (AE) do not yet support model reference.

Download Control Panel Support for more CAN devices

The Download Control Panel is now integrated with the Vector CAN Driver Configuration Tool and supports all CAN devices supported by the Vector CAN Driver Library.

QADCE support for more MPC56x processors

There is now support for Enhanced Queued Analog-To-Digital Converter Module-64 (QADCE) for the processors MPC561, MPC562, MPC563, and MPC564.

Technical Solution Support for External (Off-Chip) Flash Memory

Refer solution note on targeting External Flash memory.

Version 2.0

Released: 02 Jun 2004
 

Serial Download

You can now download executables over CAN or serial.

Support for MPC5xx

The following processor variants are now supported: MPC555, MPC561, MPC562, MPC563, MPC564, MPC565, and MPC566. You can switch processors using the Target Preferences and Model Resource Configuration settings. See the product release notes for details.

CAN Driver Enhancements

Enhancements to the TouCAN Transmit and TouCAN Receive blocks include the ability to select different modes of operation depending on the requirements for each message. This capability lets you use more of the available CAN bandwidth and reduces loading on the MPC5xx microcontroller.

Task Execution Profiling

Execution profiling data can now be recorded, uploaded, and displayed as a MATLAB graphic and as an HTML report. Execution profiling data can be collected over serial or CAN. See the new demo model mpc555rt_multitasking.

Temporary Task Overruns Now Permitted by the Scheduler

Task overruns in the base rate or one of the subrates no longer force a failure in your system. The overrun behavior is configurable. See the new demo model mpc555rt_multitasking.

CAN downloads now work with an application running CAN at any of the bit rates supported by the Embedded Target Download tool.

Support for Vision Probe in SingleStep 7.7.3

The MathWorks now supports version 7.7.3 of SingleStep for use with the WindRiver Vision Probe. We continue to support version 7.6.2. Current versions of SingleStep for MPC555 no longer support the Macraigor Systems Wiggler. The standard BDM device is now the Vision Probe.

Support for CodeWarrior

Version 8.0 of the CodeWarrior toolchain is now supported.

Improved Resource Checking

Resource configuration enhancements help you avoid device driver conflicts – for example, by sending a warning if you choose the same PWM channel for two different blocks.

New Approach for Multi-target Modeling

A new demo illustrates current best practices in deploying a single model for multiple execution applications, including simulation, PIL testing, and production deployment. See the demo model mpc555_fuelsys_project for the new approach. Previously, a pass through mechanism was used.

Version 1.1

Released: 22 Sep 2003
 

Full CodeWarrior Support

Full CodeWarrior V6.5 support for Real Time Target mode, in addition to the existing processor-in the-loop (PIL) target support.

Time Processor Unit (TPU3) Support

Six new Time Processor Unit (TPU3) blocks have been added to support the use of the MPC555 TPU submodules: Digital In, Digital Out, Fast Quadrature Decode, New Input Capture/Input Transition Counter, Programmable Time Accumulator, Pulse Width Modulation Out.

Serial I/O Support

Serial transmit and receive blocks.

Automatic Boot Code Loading

Automatic boot code loading with SingleStep or CodeWarrior is accessible from the MATLAB Start menu. You can also upgrade existing boot code via CAN or BDM.

Automatic CAN Download

You can now reach the CAN Download Control Panel using the MATLAB Start menu, or you can open it automatically at the end of the build process.

Target Preferences Dialog

A new Target Preferences dialog is accessible from the Start menu.

Automatic ASAP2 Generation

Automatic set up of correct settings for ASAP2 file generation, without mpc555dk_asap2

More CAN Message IDs in Vector CAN Receive

You can now specify a vector of CAN message IDs in a Vector CAN Receive block, so you can receive messages with different IDs from the same Vector Receive Block.

Automatic ODBC Data Source Configuration

Configuration of the ODBC Data Source is now automatic; previously you had to configure this manually. The ODBC Data Source is used for importing data from CANdb.

Version 1.0.1

Released: 05 Aug 2002
 

Version 1.0.1 of The Embedded Target for Motorola MPC555 contains minor enhancements and is fully compatible with MathWorks Release 13 products.

The Embedded Target for Motorola MPC555 1.0.1 is the first release of this product as part of a MathWorks release CD. Version 1.0 of this product was initially released in Web-downloadable form after MathWorks Release 12.1 was released, but before Release 13.
