Development Tools Module Introduction Development Tools Module Introduction Purpose: • The intent of this module is to explain the development tools available for developing applications for the Hybrid Controller Family. Objectives: • Describe CodeWarrior basic features and development environment. • Describe the Processor Expert (Rapid Application Development) tool basic features and benefits. • Identify the Evaluation Module (EVM) development boards available. • Identify the demonstration boards and reference designs available. Contents: • 27 pages • 4 questions Learning Time: • 45 minutes Welcome to this module on the development tools for the 56800/E family of Hybrid Controllers. Upon completion of this module, you will be able to identify the basic features of the CodeWarrior tool suite and the Processor Expert rapid application development environment. You will also understand the Hardware tool support available through Evaluation Modules (EVMs), demonstration boards, and reference designs. 1 56F800/E Development Tools • CodeWarrior development tools • Processor Expert = SDK++ • Built-in libraries • Evaluation boards • Application-specific daughter cards • Demos and reference designs A single CodeWarrior development tool suite supports all products in the 56800/E family, from the 56F801 to the highest functionality device in the 56F8300 Series. This tool approach allows the developer to move seamlessly from one device to another in the toolset, minimizing the effort of right-sizing the device to the final application. Processor Expert = SDK++. It builds on the excellent development support that the Software Development Kit (SDK) provides by adding graphical configuration tools and an object oriented development paradigm without the overhead of C++. Built-in knowledge of device peripherals aids the developer to correctly set up device peripherals and prevents resource conflicts. Built-in libraries provide broad support for a wide range of applications, minimizing programming and allowing the developer to concentrate on the unique intellectual property (IP) to be added to create a successful product. Evaluation modules (EVMs) provide fully functional development hardware and allow developers to quickly prototype the final product by simple modifications (white wires) of the EVM. The EVMs contain sockets containing all processor pins for easy connection of customer application-specific daughter cards. This feature allows developers to quickly develop a test bed for product ideas. Finally, we provide many demos and reference designs for applications within the target markets. 2 CodeWarrior Overview Here you can see the CodeWarrior Project window, Code Analysis Tools, Debugger, and Memory view. CodeWarrior is a development environment that seamlessly integrates the project manager, build system, editor, compiler, linker and debugger. It has support for the 56800/E, including integrated EVM support. Its advanced instruction set simulator enables hardware and software co-design. In addition, a highly optimized C compiler ensures smallest code size and the fastest execution time possible. A graphical source-level debugging solves complex problems quickly and easily, and compiler optimization takes advantage of Digital Signal Processor (DSP) loop constructs. CodeWarrior now includes Processor Expert, that provides rapid application development across the entire 56800/E family. 3 CodeWarrior: Low Cost High Value • CodeWarrior Development Studio for the 56800 Hybrid Controllers, version 6.0 is the new single development environment for the entire 56800/E portfolio. • New Processor Expert with free drivers and libraries for all CodeWarrior tiers • New multi-tiered pricing structure Memory size (in Order # Price Supported Processors words) up to 8K CW568XSE No Charge 56F801, 56F802 56F803, 56F805, 56F826, up to 32K CW568XC32K $495 56F8322, 56F8323 56F807, 56F827, 56F8345, up to 64K CW568XC64K $995 56F8346 over 64K CW568X $1,495 56F8356, 56F8357, 56850 A single development environment for the entire Hybrid Controller Family is provided, beginning with CodeWarrior version 6.0. One license enables development for entire 56800/E family. Processor Expert (PE) replaces SDK and includes all SDK application- specific libraries as well as GUI configurable driver support for peripherals. Many libraries that previously were charged for in the SDK are now available for free in object code format. A tiered license structure solves past complaints of tool expense and allows customers to prototype the tool and the processors. New license prices also include 1-year maintenance and provides free 24/7 CodeWarrior support. 4 New Features • Stationery Wizard helps users select processor and target required for development • PE Stationery and examples • Multiple breakpoints in FLASH • Swap Endian for data display • Multiple Code Generation Optimizations • Project windows are docked by default Reference information for previous slide 5 Processor Expert Overview Mouse over the Processor Expert, PESL, and EB graphics to learn more.

Select all options that apply. Supports rapid application development Enables component-oriented programming Integrates the project manager, build system, editor, compiler, linker and debugger Ensures smallest code size and the fastest execution time possible Let’s take a moment to review what you’ve learned about PE. Correct. PE supports rapid application development and enables component-oriented programming. CodeWarrior integrates the project manager, build system, editor, compiler, linker and debugger, and its complier ensures smallest code size and the fastest execution time possible. 7 Processor Expert Features • Available across 8/16 bit product lines • Rapid application development • Expert configuration system • Instant functionality of generated code • Two peripheral programming levels • Embedded Beans • PESL • Application-specific algorithm libraries • All SDK algorithm libraries ported • Tested and ready-to-use code PE provides easy migration across the entire 8/16 bit product line by supporting HC08, HCS12, and the entire Hybrid Controller family: 56F800, 56F820, 56850, and 56F8300. Rapid application development is achieved by reducing the learning curve of processor-specific register programming, using code examples, and using application-specific algorithm libraries that are SDK compatible. The expert configuration system includes GUI-based module selection, Drag-N-Drop software methods, and error checking in Embedded Beans (EBs) configuration. PE automatically adds required files to projects based on user selection and configuration of software modules. For peripherals support, EBs provide peripheral hardware encapsulation that increases portability across different processors, and PESL provides register level programming through C-macro interfaces. PESL is compatible with the SDK ioctl interface. Application-specific algorithm libraries provide off-the-shelf software modules that are typically used in target market applications. PE is ISO9000 certified in its development and testing procedures. It was also developed in close communication with our design teams to ensure feature support and optimal code generation. 8 Algorithm Libraries Mouse over the highlighted libraries to learn more.

  • Relationships Between Category Theory and Functional Programming with an Application
    Turkish Journal of Mathematics Turk J Math (2019) 43: 1566 – 1577 http://journals.tubitak.gov.tr/math/ © TÜBİTAK Research Article doi:10.3906/mat-1807-189 Relationships between category theory and functional programming with an application Alper ODABAŞ∗,, Elis SOYLU YILMAZ, Department of Mathematics and Computer Sciences, Faculty of Arts and Sciences, Eskişehir Osmangazi University, Eskişehir, Turkey Received: 25.07.2018 • Accepted/Published Online: 08.04.2019 • Final Version: 29.05.2019 Abstract: The most recent studies in mathematics are concerned with objects, morphisms, and the relationship between morphisms. Prominent examples can be listed as functions, vector spaces with linear transformations, and groups with homomorphisms. Category theory proposes and constitutes new structures by examining objects, morphisms, and compositions. Source and target of a morphism in category theory corresponds to input and output in programming language. Thus, a connection can be obtained between category theory and functional programming languages. From this point, this paper constructs a small category implementation in a functional programming language called Haskell. Key words: Category theory, functional programming, Haskell 1. Introduction Eilenberg and MacLane ([7]) are the pioneers who built the structures of the categories, functors, and natural transformations which are revealed first in 1945. A broader literature review reveals an important connection between homology and theoretical homology theory. These findings relieve mathematics from theoretical constraint and enables branches of science to involve the above relationship. The most significant transition in computer science is between category theory and computation. Oneof the most important aspects of computation is composing the new functions or modules by using the primitive functions, recursive structures, etc.

  • On the Cognitive Prerequisites of Learning Computer Programming
    On the Cognitive Prerequisites of Learning Computer Programming Roy D. Pea D. Midian Kurland Technical Report No. 18 ON THE COGNITIVE PREREQUISITES OF LEARNING COMPUTER PROGRAMMING* Roy D. Pea and D. Midian Kurland Introduction Training in computer literacy of some form, much of which will consist of training in computer programming, is likely to involve $3 billion of the $14 billion to be spent on personal computers by 1986 (Harmon, 1983). Who will do the training? "hardware and software manu- facturers, management consultants, -retailers, independent computer instruction centers, corporations' in-house training programs, public and private schools and universities, and a variety of consultants1' (ibid.,- p. 27). To date, very little is known about what one needs to know in order to learn to program, and the ways in which edu- cators might provide optimal learning conditions. The ultimate suc- cess of these vast training programs in programming--especially toward the goal of providing a basic computer programming compe- tency for all individuals--will depend to a great degree on an ade- quate understanding of the developmental psychology of programming skills, a field currently in its infancy. In the absence of such a theory, training will continue, guided--or to express it more aptly, misguided--by the tacit Volk theories1' of programming development that until now have served as the underpinnings of programming instruction. Our paper begins to explore the complex agenda of issues, promise, and problems that building a developmental science of programming entails. Microcomputer Use in Schools The National Center for Education Statistics has recently released figures revealing that the use of micros in schools tripled from Fall 1980 to Spring 1983.

  • Should C Replace FORTRAN As the Language of Scientific Programming?
    Should C Replace FORTRAN as the Language of Scientific Programming? Linda Wharton CSCI 5535 Fall 1995 Abstract Anti-FORTRAN sentiment has recently become more prevalent. Where does the attitude originate? The most probable source is academia, where C and C++ are the languages of choice. Is there a fact based justification for the attitude? FORTRAN and C are evaluated to determine whether C is a better language than FORTRAN for scientific programming. The features of FORTRAN 77, FORTRAN 90, C and C++ are compared, and evaluated as to how well they meet the requirements of the scientific programming domain. FORTRAN was designed specifically for numerical programming, and thus better meets the requirements. Three algorithms in the scientific domain are coded in both FORTRAN and C. They are evaluated on performance, readability of the code and optimization potential. In all cases the FORTRAN implementations proved superior. Is there evidence to mandate that all upgrades and new development should be done in C, rather than FORTRAN? A good computer programmer can solve any given problem in any language, however it is best to code in the language specifically designed for the problem domain. In the case of scientific programming, that language is FORTRAN. 1 Introduction In the computer arena related to scientific programming, a prevalent attitude seems to be that FORTRAN is obsolete, and C should be used as a replacement language. I am employed as a programmer that supports meteorological research. Most of the programming code I work with is written in FORTRAN. Within the course of my work, I continually encounter prejudice against FORTRAN.

    Subject: Porting (Mac OS X) and "reference application" idea Posted by mirek on Thu, 17 May 2007 15:35:21 GMT View Forum Message <> Reply to Message I have an idea how to speed-up the porting (MacOS X now, be it is general). The most time consuming part of problem is to find out all the information about implementing required things on target platform, something that developer that knows the platform would find primitive. OTOH, target platform guru's are unlikely to know about U++ implementation details. So my idea is to create "reference application" that will contain all the function for minimal (and perhaps later, advanced) target platform support. Target platform guru will reimplement this application (using the most straighforward way) and submit the code, which will serve as great boost to development speed (sort of U++ oriented knowledge base). Thoughts?

  • Xcode Chapter.Indd
    Chapter 1 Xcode Many computer books use Chapter 1 to cover introductory material. Xcode Tools Sensei is not one of those books. I want you to start learning immediately. After reading this chapter you’ll know how to create a project, add files to your project, edit source code, model data, read developer documentation, configure the compiler, and build your project into a working Mac OS X program. Creating a Project Every program you write with Xcode requires a project, no matter how small the program is. An Xcode project contains your program’s source code files and other files Xcode needs to build a working program, such as Interface Builder nib files. To create an Xcode project, choose File > New Project, and the Project Assistant window opens. Xcode has the following project categories: n Action n Application n Audio Units n Bundle n Command-Line Utility n Dynamic Library n External Build System n Framework n J2EE n Java n Kernel Extension n Standard Apple Plug-Ins n Static Library I will go into greater detail on the types of projects shortly, but most of you will be making application projects. After choosing the type of project you want to make, click the Next button. Tell Xcode the name of your project and where you want to store it, then click the Finish button. Congratulations! You’ve created an Xcode project. What Xcode includes in a project depends on the type of project you create. Xcode includes the following files for a Cocoa application: n An Objective C source code file, main.m.
