Creating Target Board Projects for ColdFire V2/V3/V4/V4e/Vx

To create a new target board project for a ColdFire V2/V3/V4/V4e/Vx derivative using the New Bareboard Project wizard:

  1. Launch the Workbench.
    Note: For information about launching the Workbench, refer to the topic Launching Workbench.
  2. Select File > New > Bareboard Project , from the IDE menu bar.

    The Create an MCU bareboard Project page of the New Bareboard Project wizard appears.

  3. Specify a name for the new project. For example, enter the project name as TargetProject_2.
    Note: If you do not want to use the default location, clear the Use default location checkbox. In the Location text box, enter the full path of the directory in which you want to create your project including the project name. Alternatively, click Browse and select the desired location from the Browse For Folder dialog box and click OK. Ensure that you append the path with the name of the project to create a new location for your project.
