Echelon Mini FX - Manual (Page 21)

8 Introduction
You can enable and disable specific warnings using the new #pragma enable_warning
and #pragma disable_warning compiler directives, and you can use the new #error
and #warning compiler directives to manage conditional compilation, raising
user-defined warning or error messages as necessary. You can use the new #pragma
library directive to indicate any required library. You can use enhanced buffer control
directives for statements of minimum or final requirements.
Compiler directives for control of the Neuron C Optimizer have been streamlined, and a
new optimization phase for generating more compact code has been added.
Hardware Template Editor
The Mini kit now includes a Hardware Template Editor that you can use to create and
configure new custom hardware templates and edit existing ones. The Hardware
Template Editor can be launched from the Mini FX application, and it is available as a
standalone tool.
A hardware template is a file with a .NbHwt extension that defines the hardware
configuration for a target device. It specifies hardware attributes including platform,
transceiver type, Neuron Chip or Smart Transceiver model, clock speed, system image,
and memory configuration. Several standard hardware templates are included with the
Mini kit. You can use these or create your own.
The Hardware Template Editor supports hardware templates based on any supported
Neuron chip, including Series 5000 and Series 3100 chips. You use the Hardware
Template Editor to map external non-volatile memory from 0x4000 to 0xE7FF in the
Neuron address space (a maximum of 42 KB).
For more information on using the Hardware Template Editor, see Selecting the
Hardware Template in Chapter 4 and, Appendix B, Creating and Editing Hardware
Templates.
Microsoft Windows Vista Support
The Mini FX Application and online help files are compatible with Microsoft Windows
Vista.
