[ixp1200] writing an application from scratch

Thank you all for your help in reboot the enp-2505 card. I ended up manually issuing the "reboot" command with minicom, quite minicom, ifconfig eth1 down, rmmod pciDgNet, rmmod pciDg, and then run the "bootixp" script to reboot. I have walked through 2 of the intel's "count packet" tutorial and see it works on the board. I'm wondering how do I start writing an application from scratch using the Inte's workbench (so that I can write code in Micro C and not in MicroCode). I want to be able to use the work bench and debug code using the workbench's debugger similar to "ms visual c++." Thanks.
