1. uVision2 Integrated Development Environment
uVision2 is an IDE that encapsulates the following:
- a project manager
- make facility
- tool configuration
- editor
- a powerful debugger
Using our tools, uVision2 allows you to write, compile, and
debug your programs. The example programs provided on this CD
are designed to work with uVision2.
2. Example Programs and First Steps
When creating a new project, you must select a Device from the
device database. Sample projects are located in the folders
\C51\EXAMPLES and \C166\EXAMPLES.
HELLO is a simple program which prints the string "Hello World"
via the Serial I/O Interface of the 166 derivative
MEASURE is a data acquisition system for analog and digital
systems
TRAFFIC is a traffic light controller with the RTX Tiny operating
system
SIEVE is the SIEVE Benchmark
DHRY is the Dhrystone Benchmark
WHETS is the Single Precision Whetstone Benchmark
To generate an application in uVision2:
a) Select Project - Open Project: For example,
C166\examples\hello\hello.uv2
b) Select Project - Rebuild all target files or Build target
To create your own application in uVision2:
a) Select Project - New Project:
Select a directory and enter project file.
b) Select Project - Select Device:
Select an 8051, 166, or ST10 device
c) Select Project - Targets, Groups, Files:
