CoIDE Manual V2.0

Quick Start

To create a simple embedded application using CooCox CoIDE, you will perform the following steps: (Before that, do not forget to configure the GCC compiler and debugger).

Next we will show you an example to introduce how to set up new projects and debugging on COIDE.

• Step 1 Launch CoIDE, select "Browse in Repository".

• Step 2 Select the manufacturer

• Step 3 Select your target chip

• Step 4 Download device

• Step 5 Create New Project

• Step 6 Input project name. You can also modify the Project Path

• Step 7 After clicking "Finish", CoIDE will create a project for you, then we can view components to select which is needed.

• Step 8 when we find the component, we need to download it

• Step 9 Then add the component to our project

• Step 10 After clicking "Add", CoIDE will add the component and it's dependence components to project for you. If we need anther component, we need click "On-chip peripherals".

• Step 11 Click the name of the component can view components related document information

• Step 14 Select the debugger, and enabled Semihosting

• Step 15 Write the main.c

• Step 16 Click the "Build" button to compile and link the program

• Step 17 Click the "Download" button to download code to flash

• Step 18 To start debugging, click on the "Debug" icon or press "Ctrl+F5"

• Step 19 If debugging is launched successfully, CoIDE will enter the debug mode. Press F10 can step to run the program

• Step 20 Double-click on the left of the code line number area can set breakpoints

• Step 21 Click on the "Varibles", We can see the value of a variable process

• Step 22 Click on the "red button", We can exit the debug mode
