Coding Assistance

After the Development Assistant is installed, it automatically downloads the Kunpeng dictionary library data. After the dictionary library data is downloaded, the tool enables syntax highlighting, function hints, and automatic code supplementation.

1. Enter code on the code editing area. The plugin automatically associates functions or supplements code based on the entered content.

   The Development Assistant supports smart association of functions such as TEE, MPI, KML and DPAK in multiple SDK scenarios.

2. You can use the up and down arrow keys to highlight the description of the associated content. You can also click the link address in the description box to view the detailed definition of the function.

The Development Assistant enables you to search for functions by name, tuning point, function description, intrinsic function name, detailed function definition, Intel intrinsic function name, Intel assembly instruction name, or Arm assembly instruction name.

1. Click in the upper right corner of the editing area. Enter a keyword in the search box and click a function to jump to the header file definition.
