Build the Project

To build your project:

Click the Build button to translate all source files and link the application.

The Build Output window displays errors, warnings, and build messages during the build process. Double-click a message to open the corresponding source file.

After you have built the project, you can:

• View the Build Log file, which provides information about the build process and used Software Components.
• Modify toolchain options in the dialog Project — Options for Target.
• Modify the source code. The Build button translates modified or new source files and generates the executable file. The Rebuild command translates all source files regardless of modifications.
  µVision maintains a file dependency list and knows all include files used within a source file. Tool options are also saved in the file dependency list. Thus, µVision builds files only when needed.
• Test applications with the µVision Debugger. Two debugging modes exist: The Simulator allows verifying the application on your PC without connecting any hardware. The Target Debugger allows testing the application on an evaluation board or a hardware platform.
• Program your application into Flash ROM. µVision integrates command-line driven Flash utilities or can use a ULINK USB-JTAG family Adapter for Flash programming. You might have to create a HEX file to use Flash programming utilities.

Note

• Toolchains pre-configure the most common device settings, including default paths. The following error message might occur because of a wrong default path:

  error:    #5: cannot open source file file.name: No such file or directory
  

  If this message refers to a header file, startup file, or system file, then reselect your device in Project — Options for Target — Device.
