Embedded Studio — A Complete All-In-One Solution

Start Embedded Studio by opening it on the start menu (macOS: Launchpad). You can also open it from the installation directory. An example solution and project called “Hello” will open. This is a basic Cortex-M project. When compiled and downloaded, it runs on the IDE’s Cortex-M simulator.

Build it via the menu Build -> Build Hello (Shortcut: F7).

The output window shows the application’s build progress and memory use after the successful build.

Creating an application to run on your target hardware is simple.

Before creating a new project, make sure you’ve installed the Support Packages for your target device.

Open the Package Manager (Tools -> Package Manager...) and search for your device or device family.

Select the CPU Support Package for your device. If not yet installed, right-click and select “Install Selected Packages”. Click “Next”. The summary shows packages that will be installed.
Click “Next”. When all packages are installed, click “Finish”.

If the Package Manager doesn’t list your target device, start with a generic executable project for an ARM, Cortex-M/R/A processor. Add your device specific files manually.

To create a new project, open the Project Wizard: File -> New Project...(Shift+Ctrl+N).

If asked, select “Create the project in a new solution”.

To add a new project later (such as an application library), select “Add the project to the current solution”. This lets you manage multiple projects at once.

Now search for the CPU Package for your device and choose "A C/C++ executable ...". Enter a name and location for your new project. Click “Next”.

If your target processor doesn’t already match, select it by double-clicking on the property. All other values already have a good default value. Click Next and Finish.

Your project is ready! Add the application code, build the project and start debugging your hardware.
