Importing Pre-defined Task

After you have imported the task, it appears in the Target Tasks view, where you can execute it.

To import a pre-defined Flash Programmer task:

1. From the CodeWarrior menu bar, select Window > Show View > Other.

   The Show View dialog box appears.

2. Expand the Debug tree control and select Target Tasks.

3. Click OK.

   The Target Tasks view appears.

4. Right-click in the Target Tasks view and select Import . Alternatively, click the Import icon on the Target Tasks view toolbar.

   The Open dialog box appears.

5. Navigate to the pre-defined tasks folder at <CW MCU install>\MCU\bin\plugins\support\TargetTask\Flash_Programmer\ and select the desired .xml file for your hardware target. For example, select MCF5213_INTFLASH.xml from the ColdFire folder.
6. Click Open.

   The selected task appears in the Target Tasks view.

7. Right-click on the task's name and select Execute.

   The task's Flash Programmer actions execute in sequence. First, they erase the hardware target's flash memory.

   Note: When a predefined flash programmer task is imported, its Run Configuration is set as Active Debug Context. If the task is imported and there is no active debug session, then the Execute icon will be disabled. Associate the selected target task to a different Run Configuration to enable the Execute icon.
8. Double-click on the task's name, to examine the task's stored Flash Programmer actions.

   The <target> Flash ProgrammerTask editor window appears, and displays the actions in the Flash Programmer Actions group.

If you are working with special hardware that require a different sequence of Flash Programmer actions, you can create your own target tasks.
