Creating a new project

When starting a new project you have to create a new project, not simply a new source file.

To create a new project, click command "New project" from "Project" menu.You will see the dialog window:



When creating a new project, please specify the following data:
  • Project - the name of the project file.
  • Location - name of the folder where the project will be located.
  • Toolkit - select a toolkit that the project will be built with. For our sample, select "Micro C 8051-8052".
  • Debugger - select a debugger/simulator if you want to debug the project. For our sample, select "8051 Simulator".
  • Manufacturer ID, Chip ID - use these fields if you want to activate debugging features specific to your target chip.
After you specified project settings, click OK.This will create a new empty project.On the left side of the window you will see empty Workspace View.If the Workspace View is not open, select View and checkmark "Project workspace" to open the Workspace View.



After you have created an empty workspace, you have to add source files to it. Next chapter describes how you can do it.
