Getting started: where's Browse files and Debug?

This is embarrassing.

I just got my FRDM-K64F and fired up MCUXpresso for the first time. With great anticipation, I loaded the frdmk64f_led_blinky project and built it, but...now what?

I don't see any buttons on the MCUXpresso IDE for browsing the source code nor for loading / launching / debugging the code. Attached is a screenshot of what I'm seeing. What am I missing?

Looks like you have somehow got yourself into the Device/Pins perspective. To change back:

Window->Perspective->Open Perspective->Other...

and select the Develop perspective.

Then, you will be able to follow the User Manual for browsing code, debugging etc.

Bingo -- that did the trick. Clicking on the .mex file takes you to the Device/Pins perspective, and it wasn't obvious how to get back. (Now all I need to do is find out why my LinkServer isn't responding.)

Thanks.
