    ⇒

    The project is loaded and then decompressed automatically.

    It is now possible to directly switch to online mode (without saving the project).

Note

If you want to change the project, save it under a new name, change and build it and then download the built user program with the boot project to the CPU. Insert the SD Card into the CPU and rewrite the project sources to the SD Card.
