I'm just starting with LPCXpresso, and am trying to create a project from source code that I have that was developed for another processor.

The LPCXpresso training video, part 2, shows adding the user's own project by selecting MCU Project Wizards from the Projects and File Wizards tab in Quickstart Panel. In the version that I have, 4.0.5, there is no such wizard. Under Project and File wizards, I only see Create New C Source File and Create New C Header File.

So, how do I add my existing files to a project? I already have the CMSIS files as instructed in the video.

Thanks,

Milt

Try it via menu:

File -> New-> Project -> LPCXpresso C Project

The easeast way to use own files is to copy them into src folder :)

But, if I don't just copy them, what's the correct way to get them into the source folder?

What is the correct sequence of steps, starting from a empty workspace, to get the CMSIS files and my files together into a compilable project?
One thing that I noticed, is that if a file is named <file>.C with a capital C extension, it won't be recogniced.

I just create a new LPCXpresso CMSIS project and then copy all needed files into src.

But you can also create a new folder and add new include path and new source location:

Ah, that's what I was missing, the new include and source paths. I guess I assumed LPCXpresso would take care of that for me.
Thanks.

To understand how printf is implemented and how to pull in the appropriate library variant, I suggest that you take a look at the FAQs on C library usage at:

The specific errors you are seeing are covered in the Undefined Reference FAQ at:[B]
