4. Getting familiar with the LPCXpresso IDE
LPCXpresso IDE is based on the Eclipse IDE framework and many of the core features
are described well in generic Eclipse documentation and in the help files found in the
help menu of the product. Further documentation and pointers to useful documents are
also available on the Code Red Technologies Wiki at

4.1 Layout of the LPCXpresso desktop
LPCXpresso’s Desktop contains many windows. Each window is called a View, because
it displays a particular view of data in the LPCXpresso environment. This data could be
source code, hex dumps, disassembly, memory contents, or more. Views can be
opened, moved, docked, and closed, and the layout of the currently displayed Views can
be saved and restored. A specific configuration of Views is called a ‘Perspective.’
Typically, LPCXpresso operates in a single perspective under which both the code
development & debug sessions operate as shown on the next page. The single
perspective greatly simplifies the Eclipse environment and enhances the entire
LPCXpresso experience.

All Views in the Perspective can be moved around by dragging and dropping. If a View is
accidentally closed, it can be restored by selecting it from the Show View dialog. The
Show View dialog can be opened from the Show View Other... option in the Window
menu.
