4.2.1 Creating a Project for a Downloadable Application
All work that you do with the project facility, whether a downloadable application,
a customized version of VxWorks, or a bootable application, takes place in the
context of a project.
Open a project workspace by clicking the Project button in the Tornado Launch
window. If the Create Project or Open Workspace window is open (the default when
you first open the Tornado Project window 3 ), click the New tab. Then choose the
selection for a downloadable application, and click OK (Figure 4-3).

Create Downloadable Application
The application wizard appears (Figure 4-4). This wizard is a tool that guides you
through the steps of creating a new project.
First, enter the full directory path and name of the directory you want to use for
the project (only one project is allowed in a directory), and enter the project name.
It is usually most convenient to use the same name for the directory and project,
but it is not required.
NOTE: You may create your projects anywhere on your file system. However, it is
preferable to create them outside of the Tornado directory tree to simplify the
process of future Tornado upgrades.
You may also enter a description of the project, which will later appear in the
property sheet for the project. Finally, identify the workspace in which the project
should be created. Click Next to continue.
3. You can modify the default behavior by un-checking the Show this window on startup box
at the bottom of the window.
