Creating a Project

The required steps for creating a project and application programs are:

1. Create a New Project File with the µVision menu command Project - New Project.
   Select a microcontroller from the Device Database^®. The MCBx51 Board comes with a 251 device, so you must select this device.
2. Add Startup Code.
   The Startup file provides pre-configured startup code for the MCBx51 board.
   When you start a new project, µVision copies the appropriate Startup Code from the ..\KEIL\C251\EXAMPLES\BLINKY\START251.A51 folder to your project folder.
   
   After selecting a device, µVision prompts with the following dialog:

   

   Answer with Yes.

3. 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.
