Migrating Projects from SDT to ADS

4.1 Converting makefiles and APM project files

This section describes:

• Converting APM project files (Windows only)

• Converting makefiles (Windows & Unix) on page 4-3.

4.1.1 Converting APM project files (Windows only)

SDT projects are managed using the ARM Project Manager (APM). ADS projects are

managed using the CodeWarrior IDE.

You cannot use existing APM projects, and there is no automatic way to convert APM

.apj

project files to CodeWarrior IDE

.mcp

project files. You must convert APM projects

manually.

To convert an APM project to the CodeWarrior IDE:

1. Start the ARM Project Manager.

2. Select APM… from the Tools menu to display the APM preferences panel.

3. Select the Echo command lines verbosely checkbox.

4. Rebuild your project. The project log window displays the command line used to

invoke each tool.

5. Copy and paste the assemble, compile, and link lines into a temporary text file.

For example:

[armcc -O1 -echo -W -g+ -MD -DMSC_CLOCK -Ic:\ARM251\INCLUDE]

Note

Do not copy out of the tool configuration windows. The options you can see by

opening the window at a certain level in the tree might change further down the

tree.

6. Edit the text file to remove the square brackets

[ ]

and any APM-specific options

such as

-echo

and

-MD

If there are references to files, such as header files or library files, in the SDT

installation directory (for example, ARM251) you might need to change these to

point to the ADS installation directory instead.
