8. © 2012 Renesas Electronics America Inc. All rights reserved.8 Project Presentation

9. © 2012 Renesas Electronics America Inc. All rights reserved.9 Fundamental difference between HEW and e2studio Project Presentation

10. © 2012 Renesas Electronics America Inc. All rights reserved.10 Workspace root node Multiple projects in workspace One active project Source files grouped by category Source files explicitly added to project are built Source files may be grouped in virtual folders Source files may reside anywhere on file system No representation of physical directory structure HEW Project and Source File Presentation

11. © 2012 Renesas Electronics America Inc. All rights reserved.11 No workspace node Multiple projects in workspace All projects active but may be explicitly closed Source file presentation reflects physical directory structure – similar to a standard File Explorer All source files under nominated source folders are built but may be explicitly excluded Nominated source folders presented with decorated icon e 2 studio Project and Source File Presentation

12. © 2012 Renesas Electronics America Inc. All rights reserved.12 Working Sets allow grouping of projects within a single workspace One or more working sets may be selected for viewing via Project Explorer view menu A project may belong to multiple working sets Useful mechanism for managing large workspaces e 2 studio Working Sets

13. © 2012 Renesas Electronics America Inc. All rights reserved.13 Critical difference between HEW and e 2 studio Deleting a file within the Project Explorer will delete the file within the physical file system Use Resource Configurations > Exclude from Build to mirror HEW Remove Files behavior e 2 studio File Deletion

14. © 2012 Renesas Electronics America Inc. All rights reserved.14 Source files existing outside project folder may be included as linked resources Linked resources presented with arrow decoration on icon Links may be absolute or relative to project location Source files within the nominated source folders may be excluded from one or more build configurations Excluded resources presented with grayed text and strikethrough decoration on icon e 2 studio Excluded and Linked Resources

15. © 2012 Renesas Electronics America Inc. All rights reserved.15 e 2 studio Executable projects built using an managed makefile and *.mk fragment files generated just-in-time Build output folder adopts build configuration name: Debug HardwareDebug Release Object code folder hierarchy mirrors that of source folders ELF executable generated with.x file suffix Other output files mirror HEW output e 2 studio Generated Resources

16. © 2012 Renesas Electronics America Inc. All rights reserved.16 e 2 studio Debug-Only projects used to debug executable code generated elsewhere – no project build capability e2studio Makefile projects built using a static makefile containing all necessary build rules Other project types support third-party toolchains Projects folders created within the current workspace folder by default e 2 studio Alternative Project Types

17. © 2012 Renesas Electronics America Inc. All rights reserved.17 e 2 studio toolchain settings for the project or file currently selected in the Project Explorer are modified from the Renesas Tool Settings context menu item (Alt-T) Toolchain Settings

18. © 2012 Renesas Electronics America Inc. All rights reserved.18 Tool setting changes made at the project level or source folder level apply to all source files within that hierarchy Tool setting changes made at the source file level apply to the individual source files selected A source file with tool settings that differ from the project wide settings is presented with a wrench decoration on its icon in the Project Explorer Individual Source File Settings

19. © 2012 Renesas Electronics America Inc. All rights reserved.19 HEW workspaces and projects are selected by navigating to.hws and.hwp data files respectively Eclipse workspaces are selected by navigating to a workspace folder containing multiple workspace preference data files within a hidden.metadata sub-folder Eclipse projects are selected by navigating to a project folder containing an Eclipse project description held within a hidden.project data file Project settings specific to e 2 studio projects and to CDT are stored in additional hidden data files within the project folder Use Eclipse Navigator view to inspect hidden files (optional) Metadata folders and files fully visible outside Eclipse – not hidden at operating system level Workspace and Project Metadata

20. © 2012 Renesas Electronics America Inc. All rights reserved.20 HEW Project Import

21. © 2012 Renesas Electronics America Inc. All rights reserved.21 HEW Project import wizard selected from the File > Import dialog Browse to HEW project file (*.hwp) within the wizard Wizard confirms validity of HEW project and availability of appropriate toolchain within e 2 studio Imported project appears in current e 2 studio workspace HEW Project Import Procedure

22. © 2012 Renesas Electronics America Inc. All rights reserved.22 HEW project content not copied e 2 studio project metadata generated within existing HEW project folder HEW project settings faithfully migrated absolute/relative file paths observed toolchain settings preserved (including per-file settings) per-configuration file exclusions observed variables (PROJDIR, CONFIGDIR, …) replaced with equivalent Eclipse variables where appropriate HEW and e 2 studio projects share source files HEW project source files located outside the project folder imported as linked resources Source files located within the project folder but not referenced by the HEW project marked as excluded HEW Project Import Implementation

23. © 2012 Renesas Electronics America Inc. All rights reserved.23 Import each project once only Subsequent changes to HEW project or e 2 studio project not mirrored in the other IDE HEW project cannot be re-imported (overwriting e 2 studio project description) following initial import Only RX and SH architectures supported at present HEW dependent project settings not imported – equivalent e 2 studio feature available HEW custom build steps not imported – equivalent e 2 studio feature available HEW debugger setup not imported – equivalent e 2 studio feature available HEW Project Import Limitations

24. © 2012 Renesas Electronics America Inc. All rights reserved.24 HEW allows a project to be dependent on a number of other projects - dependent projects will be re-built when necessary e 2 studio offers equivalent project references Dependent Projects

25. © 2012 Renesas Electronics America Inc. All rights reserved.25 HEW allows developer to add custom build phases for a project e 2 studio offers equivalent external builders Custom Build Steps

26. © 2012 Renesas Electronics America Inc. All rights reserved.26 e 2 studio projects typically transferred between users across organizational boundaries via project archive files (*.zip) manipulated using export and import wizards Sender exports currently selected project(s) in workspace using File > Export > General > Archive File Recipient imports project to their own workspace using File > Import > General > Existing Projects into Workspace e 2 studio Project Export
