Another example of the horrible support with CodeWarrior and Motorola's SDK's. If you are like me and were thrilled about the possible update to the extremely buggy compiler and ide, you immediately followed the previous posting links to only be able to order an eval CD, which does not link to anything. There is not an option for downloading a new copy. Furthermore, you might note from the link below that the new DSP56800 SDK 3.0 is supported by CW 5.0, but upon installation you are required to also uninstall SDK 2.5. http://e-www.motorola.com/brdata/PDFDB/docs/DSP56800SDKPB.pdf After uninstalling SDK 2.5, and then continuing SDK 3.0, you are given another nasty message saying that the new SDK only works with ver. Codewarrior 5.1! Digging further into the new SDK release notes does it tell you this other requirement. Metrowerks/Motorola - why can't you put this information UP FRONT on your websites? |

We regret that the SDK 3.0 product brief material is not correct in listing
the SDK 3.0 working with CodeWarrior 5.0. This was an oversight on our part. The SDK version 3.0 was developed to operate with CodeWarrior v5.1release. The SDK web page listed below has the correct information. http://e-www.motorola.com/webapp/sps/site/prod_summary.jsp?code=MSW3SDK000AA <http://e-www.motorola.com/webapp/sps/site/prod_summary.jsp?code=MSW3SDK000AA&pa\ rentCode=DSP56F805&nodeIdz6wYqRXz6292> &parentCode=DSP56F805&nodeIdz6wYqRXz6292 Sorry any time you lost on this.

We looked into this and it appears that it is a incorrect link on our web page it should take you do a page where you fill out a form for downloading but instead it takes you to a download page. I apologize for this and we are trying to fix this. > > Furthermore, you might note from the link below that the new DSP56800 > SDK 3.0 is supported by CW 5.0, but upon installation you are > required to also uninstall SDK 2.5. > > http://e-www.motorola.com/brdata/PDFDB/docs/DSP56800SDKPB.pdf > > After uninstalling SDK 2.5, and then continuing SDK 3.0, you are > given another nasty message saying that the new SDK only works with > ver.

I just apologize and if you need help downloading the right software please feel free to write directly to me. I'll post the correct URL as soon as I have it.

Thanks Ron and everyone else at Metrowerks/Motorola that has been working to fix this quickly. I think you understand our frustrations well. Learning new products like these in addition to taking on challenging projects can leave developers 'mental' as we try and work out where our bugs overlap with the tools. We are very much looking forward to getting our hands on the next version of your products.
