Use the Build Assistant to Create a Build Command
The MakeImage utility requires that you specify parameters every time you use the utility. You can specify and save these settings in a reusable build command file, which you create on the Build tab.
In this procedure, you will use the Build Assistant to create a build command that you can use to create the ProjectApp1.img file. For this procedure, the ProjectApp1 application must be selected in the Applications portlet of the Develop tab.
To create a build command
1. Select ProjectApp1 on the Develop tab.
2. Click the Build tab.
3. Click the New button on the toolbar.
The OpenROAD Build Assistant appears.
4. Click Next on the OpenROAD Build Assistant dialog.
5. Select build type: Build Command. Then click Next.
6. Select the OpenROAD utility to run: MakeImage. Then click Next.
7. Configure the build command for the current application. Complete the wizard process.
MakeImage parameters are displayed in the Build tab portlet.
8. Set the Trace Window drop-down to Yes so that the application will log to the Trace window when the application is run.
Note: This is a convenient way to see that the application has run.
9. Click File, Save and Close.
The build command is listed in the Build Commands/Scripts portlet.
You can now run the build command to create an image of the ProjectApp1 application.
