Project Settings

Top  Previous  Next

The Project-Settings dialog is platform specific. It can look like this:

 

tide_pjtsettings2

 

Platform: This is the platform definition file. In the image above, EM202 is the platform.

Project name: A descriptive name for the project.

Debug version: If checked, the compiler will build a version of this project which can be debugged using the various debugging facilities within the IDE, such as step, watch, etc. Also, debug versions are not automatically run on upload or reboot; release versions are run on upload or reboot, and cannot be debugged using the various debug facilities. By default, this is checked. Once you've debugged your project and wish to deploy it, uncheck this and build your final version.

Output binary file name: The name for the bin file of the compiled project.

Transport: Ethernet is not the only potential means of communications between the TIDE and the target. Depending on the hardware you are programming for there may be no Ethernet interface at all. This selector allows you to choose an alternative transport protocol for debug communications.

Target address: Platform specific. Different platforms use different communication media between TIDE and target -- TCP/IP, serial, etc. Thus, their target address may not always be a MAC address. This goes for the browse button as well -- not all platforms have this button.
