Quick Start

Figure 2–1. RIDE (Raisonance Integrated Development Environment)

Refer to the RIDE documentation and help menus for more information about how to interact with the RIDE environment. When a program is compiled, it can be immediately downloaded into the MSC1211EVM by using the MSC down- load utility program.

In the Project menu, select Options Tools, and then Create or Edit MSC1210_LOADER. Enter the path to the download.exe program that should be installed in your Windows directory. The download.exe file will need to be in the current directory or the Windows path. In the “translate from” and the “translate to” windows add “*.aof”. Select Advanced and you will have see the screen shown in Figure 2–2.
