User’s Guide
The first level of folders in the Files view are projects. Each project folder contains:
■
■
Project source code files, which are added to the project by the user.
An Object Modules folder, which contains a list of objects that the project’s build
will produce. The list is automatically generated by the project facility.
■
An External Dependencies folder, which contains a list of make dependencies.
The list is automatically generated by the project facility.
Initially, there are only the default folders for Object Modules and External
Dependencies, and the projectName.out file. The file projectName.out is created as a
single, partially-linked module when the project is built. It comprises all of the
individual object modules in a project for a downloadable application, and
provides for downloading them to the target simultaneously.
! WARNING: Use of the projectName.out file is essential for downloading C++
modules, which require munching for proper static constructor initialization. You
should also use the projectName.out file for downloading C modules to avoid any
potential link order issues related to dynamic loading and linking.
