Creating a New Workspace
To create a new workspace:
1. Select the “Create a new project workspace” option from the “Welcome!” dialog (figure 1.6) and press
“OK” or select [File->New Workspace...]. The “New Project Workspace” dialog will be displayed
(figure 1.7).
Figure 1.7: New Project Workspace Dialog
2. Enter the name of the new workspace into the “Workspace Name” field. This can be up to 32 characters
in length and contain letters, numbers and the underscore character. As you enter the workspace name the
HEW will add a subdirectory and project name for you automatically. This can be changed if desired.
This allows the workspace and project name to be different. Use the “Browse…” button to graphically
select the directory in which you would like to create the workspace. Alternatively, you can type the
directory into the “Directory” field manually.
3. Select the CPU family and tool chain upon which you would like to base the workspace. Note that this
cannot be changed once the workspace has been created.
4. When a new workspace is created, HEW will also create a project with the name specified in the project
name field and place it inside the new workspace automatically. The “Project type” list displays all of the
available project types (e.g. application, library etc.). Select the type of project that you want to create
from this list. The project types displayed will be all valid types for the current CPU family and tool
chain pair.
5. Click “OK” to create the new workspace and project.
Note:
It is not possible to create a workspace if one already exists in the same directory.
