Use this page to provide Rapid Application Development (RAD) support when writing your program.
Select one of the available RAD options to set up special views in the IDE where you can rapidly configure peripheral devices on the MCU, or pick from a library of field-tested code modules that can implement various device services such as timer interrupts, or a high speed serial interface.
Note: This page is not available for Qorivva, and some ColdFire derivatives.
Note: For more information on how to use the features of Processor Expert, refer to the Processor Expert User Guide.
The table below shows the various RAD options available and their purpose.
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| Rapid Application Development | |
| None | No RAD support provided. The wizard's default startxx.c file sets up the MCU's stack, its memory management unit (if any) and the C/C++ language's runtime. |
| Processor Expert | The wizard provides views in the C/C++ Perspective that lets you set up the MCU's interrupts, vector table and device initialization. It also provides you with a choice of configurable support modules that implement software services on various MCU peripherals. |
| Start with perspective designed for | |
| Hardware configuration (pin muxing and device initialization) | Select this option to enable hardware perspective for pin muxing and peripheral configuration. |
| Use current perspective | Select this option to use current perspective and show the Processor Expert views. |
| Initialize all peripherals | Select this option to initialize all peripherals. |
