Toolset path information
Upon installation, STVD will attempt to identify the toolsets and their paths. You can confirm
or modify default path information for the supported toolsets by selecting Tools > Options
(see Figure 54).
The resulting Options window provides a Toolset tab that allows you to specify the Bin,
Include and Library paths for your toolset on your host PC. It also provides a Directories
tab, where you can specify any additional default subpaths for include files and libraries that
you typically use when building your microcontroller applications. The paths that you specify
in the Options window will be the default settings applied for any project using a toolset.
However, you can also specify a project specific toolset and paths in the General tab of the
Project Settings window for any project (see also Section 4.5: Configuring project settings
on page 84).

4.2 Loading and creating workspaces (.stw)
The workspace (filename.stw) is the file that contains the project(s) you are building to
generate your application. Typically, a workspace contains one or more projects and their
source files and dependencies. This section provides information on:
● Loading an existing workspace
● Creating a new workspace
Note: You cannot create a project and build or debug an application until you have created a
workspace.
4.2.1 Loading an existing workspace
● Opening a .stw workspace
● Opening a .wsp workspace from STVD7 prior to version 3.0
