REFERENCE DOCUMENTATION
This chapter is enclosed in the manual named Getting Started with the Raisonance Development kit for the XE8000
family that comes with RIDE.
Because of one limitation of the GNU tools, it is strongly recommended that you install the software in its default
location. (GNU is the base of several elements of RIDE-Pro, including its compiler. This implementation of GNU tools
requires a specific syntax for file naming and paths.)
After installation, you may find it on the environment menu bar Help > PDF > XE-TOOLS > Getting Started XE or on
your hard drive on C:\RIDE\DOC\Getting_Started_XE.PDF or in the directory where you choose to install RIDE.
