Since CodeLab is a plug-in to Visual Studio, some of these menu items are Visual Studio and some are specific to CodeLab. Click on any of these menu items and the drop-down menu displays the subordinate menu items. Many of these items have defined tool bar symbols, function keys, and keyboard patterns as alternatives.

Note: Projects can be built under the “codelab EDE” menu or under the “build” menu. Always use the “codelab EDE” menu to perform CodeLab project builds. Builds under the “build” menu invoke the Visual Studio C compiler.

1.On the main menu, select “codelab EDE, Configuration”.

2.When the “codelab EDE Configuration” window appears, click on each of the words in the left box. Notice that the rest of the window changes when you click on different parts of the menu tree. This is a typical feature of CodeLab EDE for .NET.

3.Click on Toolsets.

4.Click on the drop-down arrow and select “RedHat GNU Tools for XScale”. The build tool paths now appear in the box and must be modified as stated below in bold. Note that the assembler and the linker are invoked by GCC.

a.“Compiler path: $(ToolDir)\BIN\XSCALE-ELF-GCC.EXE”.

b.“Assembler path: $(ToolDir)\BIN\XSCALE-ELF-GCC.EXE”.

c.“Linker path: $(ToolDir)\BIN\XSCALE-ELF-GCC.EXE”.

d.“Librarian path: $(ToolDir)\BIN\XSCALE-ELF-AR.EXE”.

5.In the left box, click on “Debugging, General”. When the checkboxes are available in your version, set all four debug options to “false”.

6.Click “Apply” and click “OK”.

7.On the main menu, click “codelab EDE, Project Settings”.

8.When the “codelab Project Settings” window appears, click on “C/C++/Assembler” in the left box. Use the drop-down arrow to select “C compiler” for “Build Tool”.

9.Edit the command line box at the bottom so that it contains the following:

-v -Wall -specs=redboot.specs -gdwarf-2 -O0 -c -mcpu=xscale $(InputRelPath) -o $(OutDir)\$(InputName)$(OutputExt)

10.Use the drop-down arrow to select “Assembler” for “Build Tool. Edit the command line box at the bottom so that it contains the following:

-v -specs=redboot.specs -o $(OutDir)\$(InputName)$(OutputExt) $(InputRelPath)

11.In the left box, click on “Linker”. Edit the command line box at the bottom so that it contains the following:

-v -specs=redboot.specs -o $(OutDir)\$(ProjectName).elf $(ObjectFiles) $(Libraries)

12.Click “Apply” and then click “OK”.

13.In the “Solution Explorer” window, right click “Project80333” and select “Save Project80333”.
