7.2. Managing your build tools

When you install RealView Debugger for the first time, it determines the location of your build tools to use for all user-defined projects that you create. However, you can override this setting or specify a different tool for selected projects.

Note

Auto-projects do not contain a build model and so make no use of build tools. This section applies to user-defined projects only.

If you have more than one version of the ARM® build tools, for example RealView Developer Kit (RVDK) and ARM Developer Suite (ADS), RealView Debugger uses the latest version.

Note

If you have upgraded your build tools since you created a project, RealView Debugger prompts you to upgrade when you next open that project. See Upgrading the project toolchain for more details.

If you are not using a project but you want to rebuild a particular file, or set of files, RealView Debugger gives you the option to use the default build tools or to specify your own makefile or build script.

The rest of this chapter describes how to access your build tools and manage your application building.
