If you do not already have a Sourcery CodeBench Portal account, you must register for one now. You must have an active Sourcery CodeBench Lite subscription to download an installer. Evaluation subscriptions are available at no charge and also give you access to support from CodeSourcery.
If you purchased Sourcery CodeBench Lite directly from Mentor Graphics, you already have an account, and you may skip ahead to the next section. However, if you received Sourcery CodeBench Lite with a hardware development kit or from a distributor, you probably do not have an account.
To register for an account, visit the Sourcery CodeBench Portal. Click on the link to register for an evaluation subscription. Follow the instructions on the web site to create your account. Then, once your account is active, click the button to request an evaluation subscription.
You should request an evaluation version of Sourcery CodeBench that matches
the version you received with your development kit.
Select the host system
where you will install Sourcery CodeBench, and MIPS ELF as the
target system where you will run applications.
Then click the Request Evaluation
button.
If there are newer versions of Sourcery CodeBench Lite than the one provided with your development kit, they will be visible through the Sourcery CodeBench Portal once your evaluation subscription is active. CodeSourcery recommends that you first work with the version of Sourcery CodeBench that came with your development kit, since CodeSourcery and the manufacturer have tested that particular combination of hardware and software. However, you may also wish to experiment with newer versions.
