1.2 Features

CS+'s features are shown below.

(1)

Project management

Manage project information, including source-file structure, build options, and settings for connecting to the debug tool.

(2)

Design

The pin assignment function makes it possible to output reports called "device pin list" and "device top view" as files, by inputting the pin-configuration status of the microcontroller.

The code generation function can output source code (device driver programs) corresponding to peripheral functions provided by the microcontroller (e.g. systems, ports, and interrupt) by selecting and entering the information required for control in the CS+ panels.

(3)

Coding

A tree view of the files included in the project appears in a CS+ panel, and the files can be edited by linking an editor to CS+.

(4)

Build

You can configure optimization and other build options in the CS+ panels, enabling you to create efficient load module files and a library file.

Remark

It is also possible to link to an external build tool and use it instead of the build tool provided by CS+ (see "E. USING AN EXTERNAL BUILD TOOL").

(5)

Debug

You can display your debugging tool's connection settings and debugging information in CS+ panels. There are also many methods for executing programs, enabling you to debug your programs efficiently.

(6)

Analysis

You can analyze information while the program is executing, and display information about the functions and variables.

(7)

Updates

Communicate with the update server to get the latest version of this product.
