DAVE supports the importing of generated DAVE APP codes to be used in Keil MDK-ARM IDE.
A XML file describing the folder structure of the generated code is all what MDK-ARM needs to be able to import the generated libraries.

The following procedure helps generate the XML file.

[#1] Modify DAVE CE Preferences
- Goto “Windows -> Preferences -> DAVE -> DAVE CE Preferences -> Resource Manager Settings”
- In the Resource Manager Settings grouping, select “Generate gpdsc file to import DAVE generated code in Keil MDK v5.10 or higher”

[#2] Generate the gpdsc file
- Click on the “Generate Code” icon to generate the code as well as the gpdsc file.

[#3] Launching the uVision Project
- All you have to do now is to double click on the gpdsc file. This launches uVision which creates a uVision project. Any change that you make now to the generated files in DAVE will automatically reflect in uVision project.

Daryl,
I am a new user with Keil MDK, and try to migrate my DAVE project to Keil MDK IDE. My old project is with DAVE 4.3.2. The Keil MDK is V5.27.1.0. I generated GPDSC file with the instruction in your post. However, when I double click the .gpdsc file, it does not open the Keil IDE, but opens it on the edit window.

Did you see anything wrong with it? I appreciate any suggestions.

Hi,

Just File>Open and browse to the .gpdsc file with the "All Files (*.*)" filter enabled.

Dear Sir,

I ran into some unsolvable problems when converting DAVE IDE's project to Keil MDK project, and I need your help.

After generating a file with the suffix ".gpdsc "and opening the file with Keil, the compiler displays the message" Cannot read project file ".

I tried every way to open it, but it kept coming up.How can this problem be solved?

Regards,

Fayang
