4. Preparation before Use
Please run the High-performance Embedded Workshop and connect the emulator .
In addition, in order to debug with this product, it is necessary to create a workspace.
4.1 Workspaces, Projects, and Files
Just as a word processor allows you to create and modify documents, this product allows you to create
and modify workspaces.
A workspace can be thought of as a container of projects and, similarly, a project can be thought of as
a container of project files. Thus, each workspace contains one or more projects and each project
contains one or more files.
Workspaces allow you to group related projects together. For example, you may have an application
that needs to be built for different processors or you may be developing an application and library at
the same time. Projects can also be linked hierarchically within a workspace, which means that when
one project is built all of its "child" projects are built first.
However, workspaces on their own are not very useful, we need to add a project to a workspace and
then add files to that project before we can actually do anything.
