Embedded Studio projects created with V7 should work without further modification needed in V8 as well.

However it is possible that some global IDE settings or installed CPU Packages might be missing with the new version. To import these settings and packages to the new version see the sections below.

IDE settings

If you have made some modifications in the V7 version of Embedded Studio via Tools->Options, these options will first be missing in the V8 installation. To import these settings to V8 as well do as follows:

  • Open ES V7
  • Go to File->Open Studio Folder...->Studio User Folder
  • Here you will find a file called Settings.xml
  • Copy that file and place it into the Studio User Folder of ES V8.
    • Make sure that ES V8 was not open at that time.
  • After copying that file open ES V8, now all your settings and the recent projects list should be ported over.

CPU Packages

CPU packages are now stored in a new folder with V8. The easiest way to regain the CPU Packages is to simply install them again via the Package Manager.

Troubleshooting

  • If you have created a Embedded Studio package manually without the project wizard it is possible that the definition if this is a RISC-V or Arm project is not set correctly. In such case simply edit the .emProject file in a text editor and add the following entry in the solution tag line:
    • For an Arm project target="8"
    • For a RISC-V project target="20"
