To assemble or compile a program
•
Use the File menu to open the source program file to be assembled or
compiled
•
Either select the Assemble/compile command of the Project menu or click
the Assemble button on the toolbar to assemble/compile this program file
If the opened file has an .asm file extension name, the HASM Cross
Assembler will execute the assembly process. If the file has a .C extension
then the Holtek C compiler will compile the program.
If no errors are detected, an object file with extension .OBJ is generated and
stored in the directory which is specified in the Output Files Path (refer to
Options menu, Directories command). If an error occurs and a correspond-
ing message displayed on the output window, one of the following com-
mands can be used to move the cursor to the error line :
•
Double-click the left button of the mouse or
•
Select the error message line on the output window, and press the
<Enter> key
Print Option Table Command
This command will print the current active option file to the specified
printer. A printer may be selected where the options file is to be printed out.
It is recommended to use a different printer port from the port which is
connected to the HT-ICE.
If both the printer and the HT-ICE are using the same printer port, issuing
this command will cause the loss of all debug information and correspond-
ing data. After the printing job has finished, the user should proceed to the
very beginning of the development procedure and use the Build command
of the Project menu if further emulation/debugging of the application
program is required.
