1. Overview
The functions for High-performance Embedded Workshop version 4.05.00 are explained in this manual.
This chapter describes the fundamental concepts of the High-performance Embedded Workshop.
1.1 Workspaces, projects and files
Just as a word processor allows you to create and modify documents, the High-performance Embedded Workshop
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. The
figure below illustrates this graphically:
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.
1.2 Main window
There are three main windows: the workspace window, the editor window and the output window. The workspace
window shows the projects and files that are currently in the workspace; the editor window provides file viewing and
editing facilities; and the output window shows the results of a various processes (e.g. build, version control commands
and so on).
