Getting started with winIDEA Examples Workspaces

winIDEA enables you to use examples that include most of the supported CPU architectures and hardware combinations. We recommend that you - first-time users, use these example for evaluation purposes and take them as a reference for your own configurations to get started with a new project as quickly as possible.

You can also follow our Tutorials on iSYSTEM website.

number1

Download winIDEA Examples Workspaces.

Examples are downloaded from iSYSTEM GitHub repository and extracted to the %USERPROFILE iSYSTEM\winIDEA\examples folder.

When first launching winIDEA Select Workspace dialog pops-up and you can download examples via Download examples button.

At any later time you can click File menu / Select Workspace.

number2

Select a winIDEA Example.

Select an example that matches your target CPU and iSYSTEM BlueBox in the Examples section. Description of an example is shown below the list-box.

1. Use the Filter row to find a suitable example, which are separated by:

Architecture (On-Chip)
Purpose (Eclipse, Instrumentation, testIDEA...)
CPU
Compile vendor
Code location
Used iSYSTEM BlueBox

2. Double click the example or select an example and clik Clone and Open Example to copy it to a different location. This:

keeps the original example intact (requested by iSYSTEM Support who sometimes need them to diagnose your target connection issues);

allows re-download of possibly newer examples, without overwriting any of your work.

The default location for workspaces you clone is %USERPROFILE%/iSYSTEM/winIDEA/work. After you select the example, a dialog opens, where you can choose:

Yes - Confirm this if you want to save your clone in the default location.
No - Folder-selection dialog will open and the selected folder will be used.

The example is copied to a corresponding sub-folder, maintaining the folder structure from the examples. If a folder of the same name already exists (through a previous Clone operation), the new folder is appended an index e.g. "(1)" to its name.

number3

Connect hardware.
