uV3: Automated new project creation

Gary Lynch

Today I created 6 new projects to run under uVision 3.
Every time I had to:

  • Open a new file and name it,
  • Select a target manufacturer and device,
  • Rename the 'Target' and 'Source group 1' to names that
    mean something to me,
  • Open the 'Components, Environment and Books' dialog box,
    create several groups that I need, add files to them,
  • Open the 'Options for Target ...' dialog box, navigate
    through the tabs, changing settings all over the place,
    to get the environment I want.

All these initialization tasks are pretty much the same
thing every time. I can find no mention in the
documentation of a way to automate it, or create a template
that will allow me to override the default settings, or even
clone an old project file to steal its settings.

Has anyone pulled this off?

Thanks.

    True - a "Build All Targets" button would be useful.
    not really

    I have ~7 products each with 1-23 "targets". Were I to build the product with one "target" I would not want to spend the time to build the one with 23 "targets" at that time.

    I have sent Keil an example of what I am doing and - with no grudge, it is rather "advanced" - I do not see it becoming possible in the IDE. I am happy with my .bat procedure refined over 5 years.

    My acceptance of the fact that an IDE will not be able to do this in my lifetime, has stopped me arguing the shortcomings for any other purpose than getting other users with "advanced" needs, in this case Gary, to realize that you can do it beautifully in a .bat file and if you try to get such a setup wrestled into the IDE you will lose. You get (maybe with a new release) one step ahead, just to run into the next block.
