By Brad Stewart – Welcome to another installment of Hacking the Hardware. In this blog, I’ll continue from where I left off the last time when I constructed (or hacked together) an RF board to interface with the Freescale Mechatronics Robot (FMR). But first, some clarification is in order. Many of you have asked about not [...]
By Erich Styger – Yes, the Eclipse IDE is a very visual and GUI-oriented framework. But this does not mean that everything is mouse oriented. While hammering in code, my hands are on the keyboard. Since I do as much as possible with the keyboard, I use any and all keyboard shortcuts available. The good news is [...]
(This is the first article in a series about the scripting CodeWarrior Eclipse tools. Post a comment – let me know if this is helpful. I’d also like to know about other topics that you want to hear more about.) By Erich Styger – Writing code should be fun, and often it is. However, because I [...]

By Tom Thompson — One thing is certain in the semiconductor industry: when you make powerful and robust microprocessor units (MPUs), our creative customers use them in all sorts of places to solve thorny design problems. Because of their low power consumption, array of I/O interfaces and computational prowess, Freescale MPUs have found their way [...]

By Jim Trudeau – Without the Web, the internet would be just a network. Without the internet, there would be no Web. In 1991 Tim Berners-Lee posted a summary of the World Wide Web project on the alt.hypertext newsgroup, marking the Web’s debut. He suggested the Hypertext Transfer Protocol, and he established the first link between [...]
By Erich Styger – The Eclipse environment uses the fundamental concept of the workspace. A workspace is where you keep your projects. Eclipse maintains many settings inside the workspace .metadata folder (See CodeWarrior Tool Tip #1: Improve performance by cleaning house in the Eclipse workspace). Among those are your preferences. I just counted the number [...]
By Jim Trudeau – There should be a rule for all software developers in all galaxies near and far to prohibit vague error messages, like one that says: “No Rule to Make Target.” You may have run into this somewhat uninformative error message. I, for one, wish it explained what went wrong, but let’s just deal with [...]
