ARM Version 1.6

Quick-start Tutorial

Note

Make sure that the Project Properties window is not open when adding source files from

the Project menu. Also ensure that any rebuild is complete.

Adding object files to a project

If you want to add object files to your project you must use the Project Properties

window, shown in Figure4-4 on page 4-7. For full details of how to do this, see the

chapter describing managing projects in RealView Debugger v1.6 User Guide.

4.5.4 Generated makefiles

RealView Debugger uses the template

gen_***.mk

to generate makefiles for all projects.

The

***

is replaced depending on your default processor family and toolchain. In this

tutorial project, RealView Debugger uses the template

gen_arx.mk

located in the

directory

install_directory\etc

The makefiles are generated when you do any of the following:

• create a new project

• edit and save an existing project

• edit and close the Build-Tool Properties window

• update the Project Properties window, for example doing an edit and save.

Details about the makefile generation process are given in the Build tab of the Output

pane.

Note

You can also force the makefiles to be regenerated if necessary. This is explained in the

chapter describing managing projects in RealView Debugger v1.6 User Guide.

Viewing the makefile

You can view the makefile that is generated using RealView Debugger, for example

either:

• Select File → Open... from the default Code window main menu to display the

Select File to Open dialog box where you can locate the makefile and open it in

the File Editor pane for viewing.

• Open Windows Explorer and navigate to the project base directory. Drag the

makefile and drop it into the File Editor pane where it opens for viewing.
