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:
       Add/Files, select Source Group1 and add the source files

    d) Select Project - Options:
       Set all the tool options (the defaults are typically good
       settings for first projects, just add the external memory
       devices you are using)

    e) Select Project - Rebuild all target files or Build target


    To debug an application in uVision2:

    a) Select Debug - Start/Stop Debug Session

    b) Use Step toolbar buttons or enter in Output Window - 
       Command:  G, main

    c) You may open the Serial Window by pressing the Toolbar 
       "Serial #1" button

    d) Now, you may debug your program with standard options: 
       Step, Go, Break.
