3 Introduction This tutorial explains how to install Freescale CodeWarrior V10.6 Eclipse Special Edition (available for free) on a Windows computer. I suppose in this tutorial that you never installed CodeWarrior. If not, first uninstall your previous CodeWarrior installation using the Control Panel. 1 Download Freescale CodeWarrior Freescale CodeWarrior Special Edition is available on Freescale website: Download "Special Edition: CodeWarrior for Microcontrollers 10.6 (Eclipse, Offline)". You will get a file called "CW_MCU_v10.6_ SE_Offline.exe". Please take care to the size of the installer (more than 1.4GB). You need an high speed Internet connection to download it. CodeWarrior Eclipse Online Edition installer is smaller but will download the required tools later during the installation. 3

8 The default CodeWarrior installation path is "C:\Freescale\CW MCU v10.6". It is important to keep this installation path because some parts of CodeWarrior may not work if you choose another location.
