How to install and run Classic CodeWarrior products on 64-bit Windows 7 PC

Classic CodeWarrior products were built and delivered prior to the release of Windows 7 host OS, but it is possible to install classic CodeWarrior products on a 32-bit Windows 7 host PC and use it successfully. However, if your host PC is running 64-bit Windows 7, then you will run into trouble as the install shield will abort installation once it has detected that the host OS is 64-bit Windows 7. This paper will show you how to install and run classic CodeWarrior products on a 64-bit Windows 7 host PC using Microsoft Windows XP mode under Windows 7. Microsofts Windows Virtual PC has provided a Windows XP Mode environment for Windows 7 to install and run many
older Windows XP applications directly from Windows 7-based PC.

Please go to this web link URL to install Windows XP mode on your 64-bit Win 7 PC http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/install-and-use-windows-xp-mode-in-windows-7 There are few requirements on your 64-bit Windows 7 PC:
1> Your host PC supports Hardware Assisted Virtualization (HAV) please use this web link to verify your PC hardwaredoessupportHAVandturnitoninBISOifneeded: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtualpc/support/configurebios.aspx 2> Your host PC has 1 GHz or higher CPU, 2GB RAM or higher, 15 GB extra hard disk space for virtual Windows environment.(ThisisMicrosoftsminimumrequirement) 3> Microsoft indicates that only Windows 7 Professional, Enterprise, or Ultimate editions could use Windows XP Mode.Wetestedon64bitWindows7Professionaledition.

One thing to be noted is that download and install Windows XP mode (about 500 MB) is pretty straightforward and easy, however installing Windows Virtual PC (16 MB) is not always a smooth ride. It could take quite a long time to get it done successfully, some time more than an hour. Please be patient when installing this Windows Virtual PC, even you may see that the install process seems died and nothing happens. Please make sure that the pop up window shows up and you click Accept the license terms to have it finish installation for you. After installation, you need to re-boot your Windows 7 PC. Then run Windows XP mode to configure its first usage. The top URL link has detailed instruction on how to do this.

Once Windows XP mode is configured successfully, you can install classic CodeWarrior products within Windows XP mode just as you would run on normal Windows XP PC. We tested CodeWarrior Development Studio for Microcontrollers v6.3 and will use it as example for screen capture in the following text. After installation classic CodeWarrior product within Windows XP mode, you can attach your USB debug pod into the host PCs USB port. Windows will inform you that it has detected a new USB device and will find the proper driver and install it, as a normal Windows XP machine would deal with P&E Micro USB pod when its being used first time. After driver being installed ok, you should attach the USB debug pod into Windows XP virtual machine. Figure 1 shows a DEMOQE board which has P&E Micro USB Multilink circuitry is ready to be connected Attach to the Windows Virtual PC:

Figure 1. NOTE: DO NOT click Start button in Windows 7, click All Programs, then click Windows Virtual PC, click Windows XP Mode Applications, and then click Freescale CodeWarrior\CodeWarrior Development Studio for Microcontrollers v6.3\CodeWarrior IDE (Windows XP mode) to launch CodeWarrior MCU v6.3, as following picture shows Figure 2. In fact its better to delete Freescale CodeWarrior entry under Windows XP Mode Applications to prevent your future wrongfully launching classic CodeWarrior products from Native Win 7.

Figure 4. Figure 5 shows an active debug session on a DEMOQE board running Windows XP mode under 64-bit Professional edition Windows 7 host PC. Please note that the DEMOQE board has been attached to Windows XP virtual machine in this active debug session. Highlighted in red area shows this device could be Release from Windows virtual machine which you should not try to do so. Since native 64bit Windows 7 does not have P&E driver, it will complain that an unknown USB device has been found if you click Release inside virtual Windows XP mode.

FINAL NOTES:
1> PleasedoNOTinstallP&EMicrostandaloneUSBMultilinkdriverP&EHardwareInterfaceDrivers,Version10 (Windows 7) downloadable from P&E Micro web site on native Windows 7 as this could temper your virtual WindowsXPmodeoperation. 2> IfyourUSBdeviceisnotdetectedbyWindowsXP,tryunplugitandreplugitintoadifferentUSBportonyour host PC. You have to see something like shown in Figure 1 to ensure that your USB debug pod is recognized properlywithinWindowsXPvirtualmachine.
