I have many small applications which are controlled by our own RTOS. Is it possible to have many projects within the same uV2 complete project? TIA
A uVision Project can only build one Application at a time: look on the 'Output' tab - there's only space to specify one executable name! However, a Project can contain several Targets - so you could make each of your Apps a Target in one Project? It would be more conventional to have the RTOS as a Project in its own right, which generates a Library; your individual Applications would then just link to the Library
Another solution might be to compile the projects using the BATCH MODE of uVison2. This mode is described in the Getting Started User's Guide, Chapter 12.
Hi, Every module and the RTOS are currently seperate projects and merged at the end with some custom win32 app to create a ROM image. I was just trying to simplify the maintainance whilst developing! ;-)
Since you are running at least one external (non-IDE) tool anyway, consider using a make tool to manage the whole thing -- invoking the compiler/linker for the multiple projects, then invoking the Win32 app.
This is dead easy if you forget windows. I have a batchfile that generates several different builds in one go. If you want a copy let me know, no trade secret will be revealed Erik
"Every module and the RTOS are currently seperate projects and merged at the end with some custom win32 app to create a ROM image." Do you mean: [1] you have only 1 ROM image which contains every module and the RTOS, or [2] each module produces a ROM image which includes the RTOS? For [1], why not just have a single Project - possibly with each module in its own Group; For [2], make the RTOS a Library & have separate projects for each module Or, as others have suggested, abandon uVision for Project Management
