This chapter describes the facilities available with the GNU17 IDE and describes how to use the GNU17 IDE.

3.1 Overview

3.1.1

Features

The GNU17 IDE (hereafter simply the IDE) provides an integrated development environment that makes it user to develop
software using the S1C17 Family C Compiler Package (S5U1C17001C).
This IDE combines the Eclipse IDE for C/C++ Developers package with the functions required for S1C17 program development
(simply "GNU17-specific plug-ins" hereinafter). For detailed information on Eclipse standard functions, refer to the general
publications that describe the Eclipse IDE for C/C++ Developers Package.
The main features of the IDE are outlined below.
•
Project creation and management
The IDE lets users create GNU17 projects (GNU17-specific plug-in function) and collectively manage all source files
needed to create an application as a single project.
•
Importing GNU17 version 2 projects (GNU17-specific plug-in function)
The IDE lets users import projects created using GNU17 version 2 (e.g., GNU17 V2.3.0).
•
Project settings
The IDE lets users set the properties for projects required to build S1C17 programs (GNU17-specific plug-in function).
•
Supports GNU-compliant C and assembler
The IDE lets users create and edit sources in GNU-compliant C or assembly language. User can also load source code
written in other editors into the IDE.
•
Program building function
The IDE lets users build applications (*.elf/*.psa) by implementing a sequence from compiling to linker in accordance
with the project settings.
•
Launcher for calling the gdb debugger
After a build process, the user can call the gdb debugger to debug a built application.

Some Notes on Use of the IDE

 About the guaranteed operation of the IDE 
The IDE is designed to run on the Eclipse development platform and uses Eclipse facilities during development work. Note that
the facilities not described in this manual lie beyond the scope of guarantee for the IDE.
 Eclipse plug-in versions

Listed below are the Eclipse plug-ins and versions that form the base of the IDE:
The GNU17-specific plug-ins are provided on the assumption that they will operate on these Eclipse plug-ins.
 About the use of Japanese language in the IDE 
Although the IDE permits Japanese (using Shift-JIS/MS-932 character code) file and directory names and strings, the GNU17
tools used to build projects do not support the Japanese language. Do not use the Japanese language for file and directory names
or in executable source code.
(Comments in the source code may be writ- ten in Japanese.)
