Introduction

This chapter describes the RS08 Compiler that is part of the CodeWarrior Development Studio for Microcontrollers V10.x. The Compiler consists of a Frontend, which is language-dependent, and a Backend, which is hardware-dependent and generates object code specific to RS08. Chapters one and two describe the configuration and creation of projects that target RS08 microcontrollers. Subsequent chapters describe the Compiler in greater detail.

This chapter consists of the following topics:

• Compiler Environment
  
• Creating and Managing Project Using CodeWarrior IDE
