Technical discussions about Freescale (Motorola) DSPs (including the DSP56000, DSP56300, DSP56600, 56800 DSPs).
|
There was a press release by Motorola announcing a 56F800DEMO board that lists at $49 and includes a complementary copy of Metrowerks CodeWarrior 5.1 for the memory footprint of the DSP56F801 and DSP56F802. The board lists at $49. CodeWarrior license pricing has been reduced as well until August 2003. Take a look at the press release: http://www.motorola.com/mediacenter/news/detail/0,1958,2397_1951_23,00.html And the product summary page for the 56F800DEMO board: http://e-www.motorola.com/webapp/sps/site/prod_summary.jsp?code=56F800DEMO The demo board package is a great deal for someone to get their feet wet. |

I looked to buy one, but although Motorola says it's $49.95 in their advert BOTH their listed suppliers (Arrow & Digikey) are selling it for ~$70!!! Now $70 is still a good deal, but if Motorola is going to spend $$$$ advertising the demo board they should at least make the suppliers honor the price. My 2c Peter Elliot |

Be aware, I certain that the code size is limited to 8K. I have already placed an order for it through Arrow Electronics.

You are correct; this demo kit will include free permanent license for new CW 5.1 limited to memory of 56F801 and 56F802 devices (8K program words). However, until September Motorola and Metrowerks also have a promotional price for CW 5.1 for 56F803, 56F805, 56F807, 56F826, and 56F827 for $495 (regular price $1195). You can purchase it from Metrowerks web site: http://www.metrowerks.com/MW/Develop/Embedded/DSP56800/Default.htm Leonard -----Original Message----- From: len burleson [mailto:] Sent: Wednesday, May 07, 2003 5:55 AM To: David; Subject: Re: [motoroladsp] 56F800DEMO + complementary copy of CW 5.1 Be aware, I certain that the code size is limited to 8K.
