Creating a New Workspace
To create a new workspace
1. Select the [Create a new project workspace] option from the [Welcome!] dialog box (figure 1.2) and click
the [OK] button or select [File -> New Workspace...]. The [New Project Workspace] dialog box will be
displayed (figure 1.3).

2. Enter the name of the new workspace into the [Workspace Name] field. This can be up to 32 characters
in length and contain letters, numbers, and the underscore character. As you enter the workspace name,
the HEW will add a subdirectory and project name for you automatically. To select the directory in
which you would like to create the workspace, use the [Browse…] button or type the directory into the
[Directory] field manually. This allows the workspace and project name to be different.
3. Select the CPU family and toolchain upon which you would like to base the workspace. Note that these
cannot be changed once the workspace has been created.
4. When a new workspace is created, the HEW will also automatically create a project with the name
specified in the project name field and place it inside the new workspace. The [Project types] list displays
all of the available project types (application, library, etc.). Select the project type you want to create
from this list. The project types displayed will be all valid types for the current pair of CPU family and
toolchain. The project types are classified in three classes: toolchain-only, debugger-only, and full
project generator that configures both the debugger and toolchain aspect of the HEW.
5. Click the [OK] button to create the new workspace and project.
Note: It is not possible to create a workspace if one already exists in the same directory.
