6.Click the Connect button in the toolbar or select Debug→Connect from the menu to connect to the device.

7.Download the project to the target by clicking the Download Code button in the toolbar.

Note: To enable automatic downloading if the program build is successful, select Enable Automatic Con- nect/Download after Build in the Project→Target Build Configuration dialog. If errors occur during the build process, the IDE will not attempt the download.

8.Click on the Go button (green circle) in the toolbar or by selecting Debug→Go from the menu to start run- ning the firmware. The LED on the target board will start blinking.

5.2.2.Creating a New Project

Use the following steps to create a new project. Once steps 1–5 in this section are complete, continue with Step 3 from Section 5.2.1.

1.Select Project→New Project to open a new project and reset all configuration settings to default.

2.Select File→New File to open an editor window. Create your source file(s) and save the file(s) with a rec- ognized extension, such as .c, .h, or .asm, to enable color syntax highlighting.

3.Right-click on “New Project” in the Project Window. Select Add files to project. Select files in the file browser and click Open. Continue adding files until all project files have been added.

4.For each of the files in the Project Window that you want assembled, compiled, and linked into the target build, right-click on the file name and select Add file to build. Each file will be assembled or compiled as appropriate (based on file extension) and linked into the build of the absolute object file.

Note: If a project contains a large number of files, the “Group” feature of the IDE can be used to organize. Right-click on “New Project” in the Project Window. Select Add Groups to project. Add predefined groups or add customized groups. Right-click on the group name and choose Add file to group. Select files to be added. Continue adding files until all project files have been added.

5.Save the project when finished with the debug session to preserve the current target build configuration, editor settings, and the location of all open debug views. To save the project, select Project→Save Proj- ect As... from the menu. Create a new name for the project and click on Save.

5.3.Configuration Wizard 2
