Importing the Project into the ZViewIDE Workspace
For a project to be accessible by the ZViewIDE, it must be imported into a workspace. From the “File” pull down
menu, select “Import.” The Import Window will then be opened. Select “Existing Project into Workspace”, and
browse to find the folder containing the project.
C:\Sensory\FC5_0_3\Workspace\t2si
Note:
The “Project name:” box is highlighted in gray, and you will not be able to enter the new text. This
is because the project name is a part of the IDE configuration, and it is already included in the project
folder. In this case, the project folder is “t2si”. When the project folder is selected, the project name will
be displayed. In this case, it is “t2si”.
When the project is loaded, the icon with the name of the project folder will appear the “DSP Projects” window.
Click the “+” icon next to the “t2si” icon. This will expand the icon and will display the content at the root of the
t2si folder. To view the application source code, double click on “t2siApp.c”.
Renaming a Project
While it is not necessary to rename a sample project that you have copied to the workspace folder and imported,
it may be a good idea to do so. You can’t copy the same sample program to the workspace again without
renaming or deleting the first version. To rename a project, just right-click on the project name in the “DSP
Projects” window, and select “Rename.”
Renaming the project also renames the project folder name on your disk, however, the executable name
created by the compiler and linker tools will not change. If you want to change the executable file name, right-
click on the project name in the “DSP Projects” window again and select “Properties”. In the Project Properties
window, click on Build Options. The Active Configuration should be shown to be DebugG1. Click on the
“Manage…” button next to the configuration name. This window has a text box labeled “Artifact name:” which
contains the name of the executable file produced by the compiler and linker tools.
Compiling and Linking a Project
To compile and link the t2si project, right click on “t2si” in the “DSP Projects” window, and select “Rebuild
Project”.
Note:
Here we use “Rebuild Project” instead of “Build Project” because “Build Project” will not compile
source files that have not changed since the last compilation. “Rebuild Project” compiles all source files
(*.c, *.s) in the project folder and subfolders of the project folder whether they have changed or not.
The executable file is located in the “DebugG1” folder in the project folder, and the name of file (if you have not
changed it as described in the above section) is “t2si.out”.
Note:
It is always a good idea to check the time that the file was created to make sure that the file was
actually created. To do that, right, click on the “.out” file, and select “properties”. In the properties
window, you will find it in the “Last modified” column.
