Quick Start
Step 0. Starting HT-IDE3000
Step 1. Creating a new project
Step 2. Writing source programs
Step 3. Adding source programs into the project
Step 4. Building the project
Step 5. Debugging the project
Step 6. project Build OK
Step 0. Starting HT-IDE3000
Under windows platform, Select
Start/Program Files/Holtek Development
System/HT-IDE3000
Area code
HT-IDE3000 System will ask you for some
information when you start it first time.
HT-IDE3000 welcome Logo
The welcome logo will be shown when you
start HT-IDE3000
Click the mouse left button or wait 2
seconds to pass it
Welcome LOGO
Connection failure
In the duration of running HT-IDE3000, the
system will show this dialog while detecting
a connection failure between the computer
and the HT-ICE.
Connection success
While starting HT-IDE3000, the system will
show this dialog after the computer connect
to the HT-ICE successfully.
Step 1. Creating a new project
Select Project/New.
New Project Dialog
To choose the position to save the project.
To select the MCU item.
Project Option Dialog
To setup options for Assembler and Linker
Mask Option Dialog
To setup options for MCU.
Click OK,
You have finished initializing the new
project.
Step 2. Writing source programs
HT-IDE3000 has a build-in text editor.
To create a new source file
Select File/New
To save the source file
Select File/Save As
Single program file
All procedures and variables are
defined in the same file.
No external variables and procedures
are allowed.
Suits the simple program for the MCUs
of small ROM size.
Cannot be reused by another project.
2003 Holtek MCU Product Seminar
Multiple program files
Separate different modules into different files
Use public/extern label for external procedure
Use public/extern symbol for external variable
A project consists of two or more files
Advantages:
Programs will be more readable.
Program codes can be reusable.
Reduce the build time for the project.

Step 3. Adding source programs into
the project
A project consists of one or more source
program(s).
Select Project/Edit command to add the
files to the project.
Edit Project Dialog
Linking Library files
Use Options/Project command to link library with the
project

Step 4. Building the project
Select Project/Build or Project/Rebuild All
Differences between Build and Rebuild All
Rebuild All will compile all files in the project.
Build will compile the dirty files only.
A dirty file means that the file had been modified since
the last build time.
Select Project Assemble/Compile
Assemble/Compile the .ASM/.C program in the active
window.
The error messages will be shown in the
output window while compiling/building
the file/project.
Double click on the message line, the
system will automatically highlight the line
of the program syntax error.
Step 5. Debugging the project
If the project is free of syntax error, the
system will download the program to the
HT-ICE and show ‘Build OK’
You can use debug commands to debug the
project.
Debug Commands(I)
Go: Start running the program.
Go to Cursor: Run the program and stop it if the cursor line
is executed.
Jump to Cursor: Set the program counter to the position of
the cursor line.
Stop: Stop the program.
Stop Trace: Stop tracing.
Reset: Execute a software Reset.
Debug Commands(II)
Power-on Reset: Execute a software Power-on Reset.
Reset Trace: Clear the trace buffer.
Step Into: Execute an instruction. If a function call is meet,
stop at the first instruction line of the function.
Step Over: Execute an instruction. If a function call is meet,
stop at the next line of the function call.
Step Out: Execute the program and stop at the position
indicated by the top stack level.
Stepping: Stepping automatically.
Step 6. Project build OK
The system will generate a .COD file if you
select Mask type MCU (eg. HT48C10-1)
The system will generate a .OTP file if you
select OTP type MCU (eg. HT48R10A-1)

Breakpoint(I)
Code breakpoints
Eg, To set the 21th line of program as breakpoint,
Step1. Move the cursor to the 21th line.
Step2. Select Debug\Breakpoints
The location field shows .21 and the space selection is
code, indicates the 21th line is to be set as breakpoint.
Step 3. Click Add button, the new breakpoint will be added
into the Breakpoint ListBox.
Step 4. Be sure to click OK button before exit.

Breakpoint(II)
Data breakpoints
Step 1. Select Debug\Breakpoints
Step 2. Enter the variable name in the location field, select
the data space, enter 0FFh in the content field and check
the write radio box.
Indicate that the break condition is meet if the variable is written as 0FFh
Step 3. Click Add button, the new breakpoint will be added
into the Breakpoint ListBox
Step 4. Be sure to click OK button before exit.
