1.5.10. Wind River (Diab) C Compiler v5.8.0.0

1.5.10.1. Installation

The Wind River (Diab) compiler 5.8.0.0 can be installed by running the file setup.exe from the supplied media — several options will be presented during the compiler install and the following responses should be used:

  • Follow the guidance given in Section 1.5.9, “Wind River (Diab) C Compiler v5.5.1.0”.

  • If using a single version of the Wind River (Diab) compiler, either setup the OPENECU_DIAB_5_8 environment variable as described in the next point, or adjust Window's system path to include the absolute path to the compiler's bin directory.

  • If using multiple versions of the Wind River (Diab) compiler (for instance, when you are using two or more versions of OpenECU which require different versions of the Wind River (Diab) compiler), the environment variable OPENECU_DIAB_5_8 must be set to the absolute path to the compiler's bin directory. This macro must terminate in a “\” and must use the DOS 8.3 short naming convention.

    E.g., D:\Progra~1\diab\5_8_0_0\win32\bin\

    Note

    After setting the environment variable, MATLAB may need to be restarted to pick up the new setting. If in doubt, issue the:

    oe_check_compiler

    command at MATLAB's prompt to check that the environment variable is correctly setup and the compiler is available.

1.5.10.2. Known defects

None identified.

1.5.10.3. Known issues

  • Closed: Can't use Simulink look up blocks

    There has been a known issue which restricts the compiler to use Simulink lookup block. When using Simulink lookup blocks, the Diab compiler would stop compilation with this error message:

    '[model-name].c', line [line-num]: warning (dcc:1792):
                                       trying to assign 'ptr to volatile' to 'ptr'

    This has now been fixed, see F-CR 13325 in the release notes.
