2. Builder Guide

2.1 New Concepts

CooCox CoIDE consists of a component-based network platform and an Eclipse-based development

environment. The component-based network platform can quickly obtain resources to build applications, share
your resources and exchange ideas. The Eclipse-based development environment provides many features for
code editing, code browsing, compiling, linking, debugging, project management, etc.

2.1.1 Terminology Note

Component

In CooCox CoIDE, reusable code is called component. A component can be a library, a collection of source files
and so on. It must provide useful functions, be easy to understand and use, and most importantly, can work
correctly. Each component has its corresponding code snippets, usage, documentation and comments.

Dependence

If component A calls the content of component B (known as Compilation Dependence), or component A can not
correctly execute without component B (known as Application Dependence), We call component A depends on
component B. When you check component A, CoIDE will automatically check the dependence components of
component A. One component can depend on several components, and also can be depended by multiple
components.

Code Snippet

Code Snippet is also known as example code, it is an extension of component. If the component is
object-oriented, the code snippet will be application-oriented. Example, a PIO driver can be known as a
component, a function using PIO driver to achieve LED flashing can be known as a code snippet. The code
snippet is generally very short, but the features are not restricted. It can be automatically inserted into the
code.
 CooCox CoIDE UserGuide Version: 1.2.2 2011-3-4 page 22

2.1.2 CoIDE Features

CoIDE can be used for code editing, code browsing, compiling, linking, debugging, project management, it also
can be used to obtain components, to share components and to exchange ideas.

Component Network

Component Network contains a large amount of free components, the components are provided by CooCox and
CooCox users. CooCox has provided RTOS, flash manager, embedded database, protocol stack and other
components which are all free and open. Everyone can use these components and upload their own
components.

Component Oriented Programming

In embedded application development, if there is no suitable libraries, development work will become very
complicated. Once you have the suitable libraries, anything will be manipulated in your hands. CooCox CoIDE
Component Network contains a large amount of free components, users can choose suitable components
according to your own needs, and use the component code snippets to build application more quickly. With a
large number of components and detailed component documentation, programming will be as simple as
building block.

Component Documentation

Each component has a detailed documentation (displayed in the Help View), including component description,
component dependency relationship, component source files, usage of the component, comments and so on.
CoIDE automatically generates documentation for source files. If the code comment style is consistent with
doxygen, the documentation will be very detailed. And the detailed documentation allows you to use the
component more quickly.

Interaction

In order to help users to solve the problems encountered in development process, CoIDE provides a powerful
interaction function. In CooCox CoIDE, every thing can interact, such as chip, component, peripheral, register,
code snippet and so on, users can even ask questions directly to solve their problems.

Development Environment

CoIDE is based on the Eclipse development platform, it has the following features:
 Integrated CDT editor: You can edit and browse the code; it is a full-featured editor.
 Integrated Sourcery G++ Lite tool chain: Using gcc tool chain, which is efficient and stable.
 A clear interface: Menus and toolbar are simple, clear and easy to use.
 GUI Setting: Dialogs for all settings.

Opening Project Configuration

After creating a project, CoIDE will automatically generate a builder.xml file for the project. It contains the
project configuration. By editing the file you could configure the project. There is an interface in CoIDE to help
us to edit builder.xml file.

There are several ways to open the project configuration interface: double-click build.xml in the project view
or click Project->Configuration in CoIDE menubar.

Adding Preprocessor Symbols

For CoIDE projects, you can define preprocessor symbols for the parser. This makes the parser understand the
contents of the C/C++ source code so that you can more effectively use the search and code completion
 CooCox CoIDE UserGuide Version: 1.2.2 2011-3-4 page 44

features.
Add symbols in "Defined symbols" section:

 Click Add to define new symbol.

 Click Remove to remove selected element.

Adding Include Paths

For CoIDE projects, you can add include paths for the parser. This makes the parser find the header included in
the C source code so that you can more effectively use the search and code completion features.
Add symbols in "Include paths" section:

 Click Add to add new path.

 Click Remove to remove selected element.

Selecting a Project Type

When you create a new project, you can specify the output file type. This output file type will determine the
toolchain and data, and tabs that CoIDE uses. In CooCox CoIDE, you can choose from the following output file
types:

 Executable -The target file is a binary file (*.bin) that can be downloaded into the chip and run, it is
selected by default.
 Library - The target file is a library file (libxx.a). It is a collection of object files
which you can link into another application.
CoIDE combines object files (i.e. *.o) into an archive (*.a) that is directly linked into an executable.

Select output file type in "Custom Options" section.

 Select Executable to generate binary file.

 Select Library to generate library file.

Setting Optimization Options

Setting optimization options makes the compiler attempt to improve the performance and/or code size at the
expense of compilation time and possibly the ability to debug the program.

 Optimization - Set optimization levels, about more optimization levels, please refer to gcc documentation .
 Discard unused sections - Enable garbage collection of unused input sections. The section containing the
entry symbol and all sections containing symbols undefined on the command-line will be kept, as will
sections containing symbols referenced by dynamic objects. Check this option will reduce code size.
 CooCox CoIDE UserGuide Version: 1.2.2 2011-3-4 page 45

Set optimization options in "Custom Options" section.

 Select Optimization to set optimization level.

 Check Discard unused sections to discard unused
input sections.

Adding Library

Library is a set of routines, external functions and variables which are resolved in a caller at compile-time and
copied into a target application by a compiler, linker, or binder, producing an object file and a stand-alone
executable. CoIDE library is a gcc library.
Add libraries file in "Linked Libraries" section.

 Click Add to add new library.

 Click Remove to remove selected library.

3.3 Breakpoints &Watchpoints

3.3.1 Adding Breakpoints & Watchpoint

Adding Breakpoints

A breakpoint can be set on an executable line of the program. If the breakpoint is enabled when you debug, the
execution will suspend before the code of that line is executed.

To add a breakpoint point, you could double-click the marker bar located in the left margin of the C/C++
Editor beside the line of code where you want to add a breakpoint. A dot will display in the marker bar and
in the Breakpoints View, along with the name of the associated file.

Adding Watchpoints

A watchpoint is a special breakpoint that stops the execution of the program whenever the value of a given
expression changes, without specifying where it might occur. Unlike breakpoints (which are line-specific),
watchpoints are associated with files. They take effect whenever a specified condition is true, regardless of
when or where it occurred. You can set a watchpoint on a global variable by highlighting the variable in the
editor.

To set a watchpoint on a global variable, you could do as follows:

1. Highlight the variable in the editor.

2. Click Debug > Toggle Watchpoint.
CooCox CoIDE UserGuide Version: 1.2.2 2011-3-4 page 109

3. Do one of the follows:

 To stop execution when the watch expression is read, select the Read check box;
 To stop execution when the watch expression is written to, select the Write check box;
4. The watchpoint will appear in the Breakpoints View list.
CooCox CoIDE UserGuide Version: 1.2.2 2011-3-4 page 110

3.3.2 Removing Breakpoints & Watchpoints

To remove breakpoints or watchpoints, you can do anyone of the following three methods:

1. In the edit view, right click the breakpoint symbol, select Toggle Breakpoint or just double click the
breakpoint symbol.

2. In the Breakpoints view, select the breakpoints you want to remove and click Remove the selected
breakpoints button or Remove all breakpoints button.

3. In the Breakpoints view, do one of the follows:

1) Select the breakpoints and watchpoints that you want to remove;

CooCox CoIDE UserGuide Version: 1.2.2 2011-3-4 page 111

2) Right-click and select Select All

Then right-click the highlighted breakpoints and watchpoints and click Remove or Remove all.
CooCox CoIDE UserGuide Version: 1.2.2 2011-3-4 page 112

3.3.3 Enabling and Disabling Breakpoints & Watchpoints

You can temporarily disable a breakpoint or watchpoint without losing the information it contains.

To enable or disable breakpoints or watchpoints, you can do anyone of the following three methods:

1. In the edit view, right click the breakpoint symbol, select Enable Breakpoint or Disable Breakpoint

2. In the Breakpoints view, check the breakpoints and watchpoints that you want to enable or disable.

3. In the Breakpoints view, do one of the follows:

1） Select the breakpoints and watchpoints that you want to enable or disable;
CooCox CoIDE UserGuide Version: 1.2.2 2011-3-4 page 113

4.4 Search View

Any matches are reported in the Search view:

When you have completed a search and have results in the Search view, you can put the focus on that view and
get more options on the Search menu.

A C/C++ search can also be conducted via the context menu of selected resources and elements in the following
views:

 Outline view
 Search result view

The search context menu is also available in the C/C++ editor. The search is only performed if the currently
selected text can be resolved to a C/C++ element.

The type of the selected C/C++ element defines which search context menus are available. The C/C++ editor
does not constrain the list of available C/C++ searches based on the selection.

4.5 Editor View

The C/C++ editor provides specialized features for editing C/C++ related files.

Associated with the editor is a C/C++-specific Outline view, which shows the structure of the active C, C++ . It
will update when you edit these files.

The editor includes the following features:

1. Syntax highlighting
2. Content/code assist
3. Integrated debugging features

The most common way to invoke the C/C++ editor is to open a file from the Project Explorer by clicking the file
(single or double-click depending on the user preferences).
The C/C++ editor does not contain a toolbar itself, but relies on the use of the context menu (right click your
mouse in the editor view , the context menu will be presented) and key binding actions.
