Freescale's High-Performance StarCore DSPs for the Baseband Market

June 2010

Presenter

Presentation Notes

The key goals of this presentation for the Content Owners, Presenters and FSL Subject Matter Experts is Productivity, Quality and Scalability. Productivity = Least amount of work possible for this and future training activities (e.g., Other FTF’s, Designing with Freescale, DFAE Conference, etc . . .) Quality = By knowing what the audience wants and how to best teach that what they want you have a *much* greater chance to deliver the most impactful presentation possible! Scalability = By following these guidelines it will allow your work to be delivered to a broader audience with little or no additional work on your part.

Presenter

Presentation Notes

Presenter’s notes: CodeWarrior IDE is now built on the Eclipse framework, bringing several key benefits: . Many customers use Eclipse tooling already; enables creation and integration of plug-ins into the framework . Enables 3rd party plug-ins . Enables different types of tools to plug into one another . Promotes reuse across Freescale product families – innovations on Power architecture tools can migrate easily to StarCore DSP tools, for example, in the areas of trace and profile visualization . Freescale is taking a leadership position in Eclipse; Key competitors, including TI, not yet on Eclipse
