7.4.6 Rebuild Image
Rebuilding the image merges all files in the project that are not excluded. The default ROM area is the
User Area, some devices also have a User Boot Area or a Data Area. FDT will warn if the component
files overlap. Building an image can be advantageous when the data you wish to program is made up of
separate component files – especially if data from different files will reside in the same erase block area
because downloading each component file separately could cause the device to erase the block before
the second download if automatic protection is used.
7.4.7 Download Image
Downloads the image built by a Rebuild Image. If the image is out of date (i.e. source files have
changed) then FDT will offer to rebuild before the download occurs.
7.4.8 Field Programming
Publish… Create a single .fpf file which contains all kernel and data files to send to
another FDT user.
Run Published File… Unpackage a .fpf file and use it in Simple Interface Mode.
See Chapter 11 Field Programming for more details
7.5 Tools Menu
The ‘Tools’ menu is used to launch additional FDT features, which are not related to either projects or
target devices.
7.5.1 Administration...
This displays a dialog with the tools available to the user under different categories.
7.5.2 Customise...
This allows the user to customise FDT, and is covered in more detail in section 1.1 Customise -
Toolbars.
7.5.3 Options...
Allows access to additional features, some of which are reserved for future enhancements. The
workspace tab is the most useful tab as it allows the user to specify options such as whether to open the
last workspace at start-up, whether to prompt before saving workspaces and sessions, and the default
directory for new workspaces.
7.5.4 Format Views...
This allows the user to change the appearance of different windows.
