Introduction
MotoHawk® is a controls system application development tool that allows the user to create Simulink® diagrams that run on the MotoHawk Control Solutions' rugged, automotive-quality embedded control modules. MotoHawk is intended for control feature development, vehicle calibration, and fleet testing. MotoHawk is built on Woodward's ControlCore® production software framework and supports a variety of applications using both single controller and distributed by-wire implementations. MotoHawk is a powerful development and prototyping system for Simulink/Stateflow users. Control models prototyped with MotoHawk move seamlessly from development into production.
MotoHawk follows the work flow and benefits of Model-Based design using the Mathworks tool chain. For an introduction to model-based design and Simulink, go to Model-Based Design Using Simulink.
- Features include:
- Auto-code generation of Simulink/Stateflow models using Embedded Coder/Stateflow Coder
- Rugged controllers for prototyping and production
- ControlCore enabled software
- Off-the-shelf engine control libraries
- Calibration using MotoTune® or CCP based tools
- Responsive engineering and support services for a wide-range of applications
- Electronic control modules available for development, fleet and production
- Benefits include:
- Simpler, faster development
- Better testing using real ECM hardware
- Quickly develop and enhance software features in Simulink
- Analyze and control real-time OS from Simulink/Stateflow
- Direct access to the production controller’s I/O from Simulink
- Readable documentation of system design automatically created from models
- Lower cost for fleet testing; outfit an entire test fleet with rapid prototyping capability
- Custom block-set allows for integration of both handwritten and auto-code

GCC Compiler
GCC is a free open source compiler that is used with 48, 80, or 128-pin modules that use the MPC5XX processor as well as 112-pin modules that use the MPC55XX processor. Before downloading GCC, please note:
- GCC cannot be used with modules that use the S12/S12X processor. CodeWarrior is required.
- Multiple versions of GCC can be installed simultaneously. It is not necessary to uninstall a previous version of GCC before installing a new version.
- Installation: Download the GCC compiler to a temporary directory. If the file is zipped, unzip the file - do not run the installer from WinZip. Launch the installer.

Greenhills (GHS) Compiler
Greenhills is installed via a CD and requires either a node-locked or dongle license. Greenhills can be purcahsed from New Eagle. See the Greenhills page for more details.
FreeScale CodeWarrior Compiler
Any modules with a S12 processor requires a Freescale CodeWarrior compiler. Codewarrior compilers must be purchased from Freescale directly (Click here to view purchase options). The "Standard" or "Professional" versions are recommended since these versions do not restrict the size of the application code.
If you are not going to use the default compiler version you will need to set an environment variable. Set CW_DIR to the directory which has the compiler you want to use; the default for 4.7 is "C:\Program Files\Freescale\CodeWarrior for HCS12 V4.7" (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.

License Options
A dongle is a small USB device the contains the software license. The advantage of a USB dongle is that a single software license can easily be passed from one computer to another.
