Creating an Application

3.1 Using the CodeWarrior IDE

The CodeWarrior IDE provides a simple, versatile, graphical user interface for

managing your software development projects. You can use the CodeWarrior IDE for

the ARM Developer Suite to develop C, C++, and ARM assembly language code

targeted at ARM processors. The CodeWarrior IDE enables you to configure the ARM

tools to compile, assemble, and link your project code.

The CodeWarrior IDE enables you to organize source code files, library files, other

files, and configuration settings into a project. Each project enables you to create and

manage multiple build targets. A build target is the collection of build settings and files

that determines the output that is created when you build your project. Build targets can

share files in the same project, while using their own build settings.

Note

A build target is distinct from a target system, such as an ARM development board. For

example, you can compile a debugging build target and an optimized build target of

code targeted at hardware based on an ARM7TDMI.

The CodeWarrior IDE for the ARM Developer Suite provides preconfigured project

stationery files for common project types, including:

• ARM Executable Image

• ARM Object Library

• Thumb Executable Image

• Thumb Object Library

• Thumb/ARM Interworking Image.

You can use the project stationery as a template when you create your own projects.

The non-interworking ARM project stationery files define three build targets. The

interworking project stationery defines an additional three build targets to compile

Thumb-targeted code. The basic build targets for each of the stationery projects are:

Debug This build target is configured to build output binaries that are fully

debuggable, at the expense of optimization.

Release This build target is configured to build output binaries that are fully

optimized, at the expense of debug information.

DebugRel This build target is configured to build output binaries that provide

adequate optimization, and give a good debug view.

For more information on using the CodeWarrior IDE, see the CodeWarrior IDE Guide.
