Code Warrior Resources

First, install the DVD.  See the instructor for this part.

Second, to get the (fairly old) version of CodeWarrior to work on an x64 (64-bit) computer do the following:

1.  Install the 64-bit drivers using this file.

2.  Download the following ZIP file.

3.  Copy the file "unit_cfz.dll" from the ZIP file to the location "C:\Program Files (x86)\Freescale\CodeWarrior for ColdFire V7.0\bin\Plugins\Support\ColdFire\pemicro" on your computer.  (Create a backup copy of the file before you overwrite it.)  You will then need to reboot.

Old / Practice Final Exam

Alas, none available yet...
