To out do use of dongle

Hello All,

I have an up and running batchfile (please refer to my earlier request), to compile, link and creat a hex file from the command prompt.

I want to migrate onto 'using minimum tool installation' i.e. to build using a batchfile without the entire KEIL installation on my PC.

(1) What would I require as minimum tool installation?

(2) What are the precautions or procedures that I follow and observe??

Thanking you in advance.

Kathy.

" I am trying to understand how to build a uv2 project from command line.

Presently when the (eg test.uv2) project is clicked open, it defaults to the uv2 IDE for build, compile and link.

Is there any way,that a project can be built, compiled and linked from command line without resorting to the IDE?

The idea is that someone without a knowledge of the IDE, should simply be able to compile the project with a given set of instructions."

    How often would you actually need to do that?

    Usually, building would be done by the development team. When all the necessary validation & approval has been done according to your processes, the development team would do a final "release" build.
    The final "release" build would create the master HEX file, or master device, or whatever to be delivered to production.
    Production would then just use the master HEX file, device, or whatever.

    Why would you need anyone else to rebuild the project from source?

    I, actually, had a case where that might be applicable.

    I did some code for a friend far away where 7 constants need be entered (other means give huge cost) and the code compiled and linked. It would be a great help if he could enter these 7 values in the source and compile/link.

    Alas, the way it works, that is not possible, so I do it when needed, thanks to e-mail attachments.
