Setting up your first project | ARM Version 1.6 manual

Quick-start Tutorial

4.2Setting up your first project

RealView Debugger enables you to set up different types of user-defined projects:

•Standard project, including Compile/Assemble/Link

•Library project, including Compile/Assemble/Add to library

•Custom project, using your makefile or defining a no-build project to hold only image and properties

•Container project, composed of existing projects

•Copy, created by copying existing projects.

When you create a new project, you can also merge a saved auto-projectto create a user-defined project.

For full details on creating different types of project, merging project settings, and accessing the project management features of RealView Debugger, see the chapter describing managing projects in RealView Debugger v1.6 User Guide.

This section takes you through the basic steps to set up a Standard user-defined project based on a set of example source files in the base installation. Follow this section to specify the default behavior for your C, C++, or assembly language programs, and build an image. This section describes:

•Defining your build tools on page 4-4

•Creating a new project on page 4-5

•Defining a Standard Project on page 4-5

•Viewing the project settings on page 4-7

•Setting up compiler options on page 4-7

•Project base directory on page 4-9

•Building the application on page 4-9

•Project files on page 4-10

•Closing the project on page 4-11.

Note

This section introduces the Build-Tool Properties window and the Project Properties window to set up your first development project. There are full descriptions of the general layout and controls of these Settings windows in the RealView Debugger online help topic Changing Settings.
