Add C source files and other files

E.3.2 Add C source files and other files

Add C source files to be used for creation of the download file to the debug-dedicated project.

By adding the C source file to the project, you can perform source level debugging (step execution in source level units, etc.).

You can also add files other than C source files as necessary.

Caution 1.

To perform source level debugging, a load module file with the symbol information must be added as a download file to debug (see "E.3.1 Add a download file").

Caution 2.

When a load module file has been added in the [Download File Settings] tab on the Property panel of the debug tool, source files are not added to the project tree.

Caution 3.

Whether or not to automatically add source files to the project tree is determined by a setting in the [General - Build] category in the Option dialog box.

Caution 4.

When you add load module files to the Download file node of the project tree, and download to the debug tool, based on source file information obtained from the download file, source files are automatically added to the project tree.

When there are files which cannot be added by the above method, use the following methods to add them.

-	Adding an existing file

-	Creating and adding an empty file

The project tree after adding the file and folder will look like the one below.

Remark 1.

By dragging a file and dropping it onto the Editor panel, you can open the file in the Editor panel.

Remark 2.

When the environment is set to use an external text editor on the Option dialog box, the file is opened with the external text editor that has been set.
Other files are opened with the applications associated by the host OS.
