Green Hills Compiler

From MotoHawk
Jump to navigationJump to search

The Green Hills Compiler (GHC) is a part of the installed program requirements for using MotoHawk. GHC is used with MATLAB and MotoHawk for the purpose of helping compile the programs to be used with targeted MotoHawk ECMs. GHC is useful for compiling programs for the ECMs featuring the Freescale 5xx and 55xx processors.

Installation

To install the GHC application from a CD:

  1. Insert CD in drive. Click Start->Run and double-click Setup.exe.
    Follow on-screen instructions. (try to leave the default install directory)

  2. If you do not already have a license launch the License Request Generator:
    In Windows, select Start->All Programs->Multi2000, PowerPC v3.6->Licensing->License Request Generator
    You may want to request an evaluation license initially. This will help get you started faster.

  3. If you have a license run the License installer:
    In Windows, select Start->All Programs->Multi2000, PowerPC v3.6->Licensing->Install Licenses
  4. Select your .key file and then install all the licenses.

Using GHS

Before using GHC with MotoHawk, there are a few items to consider:

  • If targeted, the 5xx-based processors default to using GHS 3.6, although they work with later versions(4.2.1).
  • The 55xx-based processors default to using GHS 4.2.1 and will work with later versions, but will not work with GHS 3.6.
  • If you are using GHS version 4.2.1, you will need to specify the License Manager. To do this, you would create and set an environment variable GHS_LMWHICH and set its value to "elan."
    * If you are not going to use the default compiler version you will need to set an environment variable. Set GHS_DIR to the directory which has the compiler you want to use; the default for 4.2.1 is "C:\GHS\ppc421" (other versions follow this naming convention).
  • There is also a Tool Chain block in MotoHawk that will allow you to select which compiler to use, if necessary. Find it using Simulink Library Browser; it is located in the MotoHawk->Build library.

Note: To set an environment variable:
In Windows, select Start->(right-click)My Computer->Properties->Advanced tab->Environment Variables, then click on New, and fill in the Variable name and value, then click OK.

Common Issues

  • Matlab returns an error ===Green Hills Compiler License Not Available===
  1. Check that GHS purple dongle is plugged in
  2. Check that GHS_DIR is pointing to the correct compiler directory
  3. Check that the license is installed correctly
  • At install of the license a warning box pops up saying Server Code Mismatch:
The license you specified were created for a different server code. Your server code has either changed since you requested your license, or you are trying to install them on the wrong machine. Please consult the documentation or contact the Green Hills license administrator for assistance.
  1. Verify that the USB or parallel port is working correctly.
  2. Log in as Administrator
  3. Unplug the key(s).
  4. Remove the old Sentinel Protection Server/Driver/Combo and reinstall the Sentinel Protection Installer. Go to Start > Settings > Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Vista is Programs and Features). Select both the Sentinel Protection Installer and Sentinel System Driver, and then click Remove.
  5. Shut Down and Restart the computer system
  6. Download and install the new Sentinel Protection Installer at http://www.safenet-inc.com/support-downloads/sentinel-drivers. NOTE: If you are using Standalone applications, you can do the custom install and you can uncheck Server from the installation. The Sentinel Keys Server only needs to be installed on a SHK key server computer. The Sentinel Protection Server only needs to be installed on a SuperPro and/or UltraPro key server computer.
  7. Plug in the key(s).
  8. Download the Medic utility http://www.safenet-inc.com/support/files/SuperproMedic.exe or http://www.safenet-inc.com/support/files/sam1.2.exe and run it to make sure the key(s) is being detected correctly. Medic does not detect the 64-bit operating system version correctly. If Medic detects the key, then the computer, operating system, port, key and driver are working correctly.
