CrossStudio's New Project Wizard simplifies the creation of projects for the MPE ARM 7 Development Kit by creating a project with the appropriate project settings, memory map files and startup files. See Creating a New Project for more information on creating projects.

##### To create a new MPE ARM 7 Development Kit project

- Select the File | New | New Project menu item.
- Select MPE ARM7DK Projects from the Project Type list.
- Select the required project template type from the Templates list.
- Set the required project name and location directory.
- Click OK.

CrossStudio for ARM supports the MPE ARM 7 Development running applications from both RAM and FLASH.

##### To build and debug an application

- Select the project to work on by using the Project | Set Active Project menu option.
- Select the configuration you require by using the Build | Set Active Build Configuration menu option.
- Build the project by using the Build | Build Project menu option.
- Connect to the appropriate target in the target window.
- Download and start debugging the current project by using Debug | Start Debugging.

The following sections describe the MPE ARM 7 Development Kit support in more detail. See ARM Target Support for more information.

### Memory Map Files

The default memory map file $(StudioDir)/targets/MPE_ARM7DK/MPE_ARM7DK_MemoryMap.xml has been provided. This file is used to describe the memory layout of the target and is used for linking and debugging. The placement of program sections within the memory map for both RAM and FLASH configurations is described by the non-target-specific default memory maps $(StudioDir)/targets/flash_placement.xml and $(StudioDir)/targets/sram_placement.xml.

The memory segment layout for both configurations is the same and is described in the following table:

Type | Description | Start Address | End Address
SRAM | Internal SRAM | 0x60000000 | 0x600007FF
FLASH | External FLASH (Segment 1) | 0x01000000 | 0x010FFFFF
SRAM | External SRAM (Segment 2) | 0x00000000 | 0x0007FFFF

### Target Startup Code

The default startup code is in $(StudioDir)/targets/MPE_ARM7DK/MPE_ARM7DK_Startup.s. It contains the exception vectors and the default exception handlers. The FLASH version of the code (specified by defining BUILD_FLASH) is also responsible for configuring memory to match the above memory map and copying the exception vectors into RAM.
