I also have purchased this version of Code Warrior with an evaluation board
and I have found it is not possible to work in C reliaby. I think Metrowerks must provide the patches to solve the bugs in this product. The user would be able to choose upgrading to version 5.0. Sorry for my bad english. |

Many people that have CodeWarrior for DSP 4 did not pay for the CodeWarrior tools as they came free as a promotion with an evaluation board. Obviously there is no free upgrade for those customers. We offer a very generous discount for people that had paid for support of release 4. This is a pretty heavy discount of 70% off. In addition to bug fixes there was many new features in 5.0 including: A new IDE (4.2.6) Full functioning inline assembler Faster compiled code Better EVM examples and stationary Better allocation of memory Better startup code Better GUi for seting hardware Breakpoints More efficient linker Also they new veriosn works with the latest SDK, which has gone on to add new processor support. This is quite a bit of value for the upgrade price, so I don't feel anyone is buying bug fixes when they upgrade to CW 5. While I agree that a customer should not have to pay to get a bug fixed. This should only be true if the bug is serious and it is reported on the latest version. I believe that we have been very reasonable and fair with our customers regarding our upgrades. We are continuing to provide patches for the current tools and for those that had our older tools we have been generous in our discounts to allow them to upgrade. Thanks for reading this far. If you have CW 4 and are unsure if you qualify for the discount or not write me an e-mail and let me know your location, and I'll pass it on to the appropriate sales desk.
