This chapter describes the facilities available with the GNU17 IDE and describes how to use the GNU17 IDE .
5.1 Overview
5.1.1 features
The GNU17 IDE (hereafter simply the IDE ) provides an integrated development environment that makes it user to
develop software using the S1C17 Family C Compiler Package (S5U1C17001C).
The main features of the
IDE are outlined below.
• Project management
Allows collective management of all source files needed to create an application as a single project.
• Supports GNU-compliant C and assembler
The IDE lets users create and edit sources in GNU-compliant C or assembly language. User can also load source
code written in other editors into the IDE .
• Creates and executes a makefile
The
IDE
automatically generates a makefile featuring a compiler to linker execution sequence based on user-
selected build options. A build process to generate an executable object file based on this file can be executed
simply by clicking a button.
• Creates various definition files
The IDE lets the user easily edit/create various files in addition to the above makefile, including the linker script
file needed to build a project and the parameter and command files needed to launch the debugger.
• Launcher for calling the gdb debugger
After a build process, the user can call the
gdb
debugger to debug a built application.
5.1.2 Some notes on Use of the iDE
about the guaranteed operation of the iDE
The
IDE
is designed to run on the Eclipse development platform and uses Eclipse facilities during development
work. Note that the facilities not described in this manual lie beyond the scope of guarantee for the
IDE
.
Eclipse plug-in versions
Listed below are the Eclipse plug-ins and versions required by the IDE :
Table 5.1.2.1 Eclipse plug-in versions
Plug-in Version
Eclipse Platform 3.4.0
Eclipse CDT 5.0.0
IDE
operations cannot be guaranteed if any modification, deletions, or updates of these plug-ins are made.
Since the
IDE
is a Java application, Java Virtual Machine will be installed as well.
IDE
operations cannot be
guaranteed for use on a platform other than this virtual Java machine.
about the use of Japanese language in the iDE
Although the IDE permits Japanese (using Shift-JIS/MS-932 character code) file and directory names and
strings, the GNU17 tools used to build projects do not support the Japanese language. Do not use the Japanese
language for file and directory names or in executable source code. (Comments in the source code may be writ-
ten in Japanese.)
