IMPORTANT NOTE!: If you are using Windows 10/11, and legacy non-eclipse versions of Codewarrior (like 6.x), the CW software should be installed outside of the Program Files x86 folder. Use a path like "C:\NXP" (Create the folder if it does not exist yet). Without this extra step, the patches below will not stick.

IMPORTANT NOTE!: (Updated 21.02.2023)
Patches for legacy hardware (pre-2016) are no longer available.
Check the back sticker for the full part number and revision of your hardware.
Please read this blogpost for more information of whether your hardware is considered legacy:

****************************************************************************************************************
Many customers today still rely heavily on Legacy Codewarrior software, or older version of Eclipse Codewarrior 10.x, Codewarrior 6.3, or other 3rd party software (such as CF Flasher, IAR, Greenhills, etc.) with PEmicro support, which may have been last released before newer versions of the Windows operating system became the new standard or before the new PEmicro hardware like the Multilink Universal, Multilink Universal FX, Cyclone Universal, or Cyclone FX Universal ever existed.
To add support to older software for the newer PEmicro hardware, firmware, and Windows operating systems, the attached patches were created. These cover software like Legacy Codewarrior software (like 6.3, 5.x), Eclipse Codewarrior 10.x, and other 3rd party software. If the PEmicro hardware is not detected by the operating system within device manager, please install the attached PEmicro Hardware Interface Drivers version 12.
These patches do not add new chip support. For example, the support for HCS08PA and HCS08PT chips are not supported in Legacy Codewarrior so please contact the developers of the IDE for questions related to chip support.
Use the listing below to determine which patch is for which chip architectures.
