Creating a Project

Follow the steps below to create a new project file and to specify and organize your source (and debug) files that are a part of this project.

1. Select the C51 Development Tools that you want to use for your project.
   The default configuration is the PK51 Professional Developer's Kit Toolset and the information below is based on selecting the PK51 Compiler.
2. Create a New Project File with the µVision menu command Project — New Project.
   Select a microcontroller from the Device Database™. The MCB900 Board comes with the Philips P89LPC935 or P89LPC932.
3. Add and configure Startup Code. The Startup Code file is START900.A51. After selecting a device, µVision prompts with the following dialog:

   

   Answer with Yes since the supplied startup code fits for most projects.

   You may need to change the configuration of this file to match your target requirements. The built-in Configuration Wizard shows you the current startup file configuration, and allows you to easily change them.

   

4. Add your own Source Code to the project using the µVision editor (or any editor of your choice) by either:
   • Right clicking the mouse in the Project Window on a group and selecting Add Files to Group from the context menu.

   • Or

   • Opening the Project — Components, Environment and Books — Project Components dialog.
     Within this dialog, you may create and organize files into groups, or create other project targets with different tool configurations.
