MotoHawk Beta versions for MATLAB 7.7 (R2008b) to 7.11 (R2010b)

New versions


Older versions'





IMPORTANT details for installation and migration:

  • Please use Windows Control Panel "Add/Remove Programs" to un-install any previous MotoHawk install before running these new installers.
  • Starting with MotoHawk 2010a Beta 6, the MotoHawk licensing is de-coupled from the MotoTune / MotoServerRuntime version installed. We recommend using the new MT / MSR 8.13.7.120 release, but MT / MSR 8.13.6.73 and 8.13.7.87 should work, as well, and you may need to continue using the earlier versions if you are also using an earlier MotoHawk version (with the Side-by-Side installer and MotoHawk Version Selector). MotoTune and MotoServerRuntime may also be downloaded from the Downloads page under 'Required Files':


Please be sure to use Add/Remove Programs to uninstall the previous MT and MSR files. The latest MotoServerRuntime releases install just a little differently than previous releases. +++++ To install MT/MSR 8.13.7.120, the MotoTune developer team recommends:

1. Exit all open MotoTune (and MATLAB / MotoHawk) sessions.
2. Using Windows Task Manager, check for any "mnfeature.exe" processes running; if so, kill with "End Process".
3. Using Windows Add / Remove Programs, uninstall: MotoTune
4. Using Windows Add / Remove Programs, uninstall: MotoServerRuntime
5. Delete folder "C:\Program Files\Common Files\MotoTron\Server\"
  • (this deletes files "mnfeature.exe" and "mnfeatureps.dll")
6. Unzip the contents of the respective new installer zipfiles into a temporary directory.
  • (MotoServerRuntime now has a helper folder "ISSetupPrerequisites" that must be in the same folder as the installer .EXE file when you run it.)
7. Install: MotoServerRuntime (as administrator, on Windows Vista and Windows 7 machines)
8. Install: MotoTune (as administrator, on Windows Vista and Windows 7 machines)

+++++

  • If you have been using GCC in earlier MotoHawk releases, you will need to change your GCC installation for MotoHawk 2009b Beta 3 and subsequent releases.
  • For customers using MotoHawk Custom Security blocks, you must use version 1.0.4 (or newer) of your security block for MotoHawk 2009b Beta 3 and subsequent releases.


MotoHawk 2010a releases require a valid MotoHawk license to do a code-generation build. You can verify the licensing in your silver MotoTron USB licensing token (dongle) using the MotoTron License Viewer (Start, All Programs, MotoTools, MotoTron License Viewer). "MotoHawk (v5.0)" or "MotoHawk (2010a)" is required to use MotoHawk 2010a releases. To use MotoHawk 2010a releases, most users will need to have MotoHawk 2010a permissions added to their license tokens, and may also need to update their software maintenance agreements.

MotoHawk 2010a Beta5 for MATLAB 7.5 (R2007b) to 7.9 (R2009b)

This release supports MATLAB 7.5 (R2007b) to MATLAB 7.9 (R2009b). Support for (pre-release) MATLAB 7.10 (R2010a) is not yet available.

  • Support for MATLAB 7.5 (R2007b) to MATLAB 7.10 (R2010a) and, in a subsequent service pack, MATLAB 7.11 (R2010b).


New features! This beta contains additional structural support for new features.

  • MPC 5554 112-pin targets**: Add support for 48-2 encoder pattern.
  • MPC 5554 112-pin targets**: Change FUELPR output driver to hardware-disable when STOP is asserted.
  • ECM-5554-112-09xx (PCM09xx) and GCM-5554-112-1001 (CCM1001) (1751-6456, 1751-6457) modules
  • MPC 5xx targets: Add support for encoder 36+1 crank with 12+1 cam
  • MPC 5xx targets: Add support for encoder 36–2 crank with X+1 cam
  • ECM70: Add support for FrequencyIn behavior on CNK, CNKDG, CAM pins
  • ECM70: Add support for ECM-S12X-070-1002 (ECM70-1002) module
  • CCP Slave protocol handler: change default behavior to IDLE_EVENT-triggered priority
  • General updates and improvements.


IMPORTANT!! Please use Windows Control Panel "Add/Remove Programs" to un-install any previous MotoHawk install before running these new installers.

IMPORTANT!! MotoTune / MotoServerRuntime 8.13.7.87 (or later) are REQUIRED for MotoHawk 2010a Beta 5. These may also be downloaded from the Downloads page.

IMPORTANT!! If you have been using GCC in earlier MotoHawk releases, you will need to change your GCC installation for MotoHawk 2009b Beta 3 and subsequent releases.

IMPORTANT!! For customers using MotoHawk Custom Security blocks, you must use version 1.0.4 (or newer) of your security block for MotoHawk 2009b Beta 3 and subsequent releases.
