This dialog is shown during the creation of a new project using Project Wizard or when you add a new processor component into project using Components Library view.
In this dialog, you can select processor pin-variants and configurations that will be supported for switching later in the project. Each selection of variant or configuration represent one processor component pre-set. For example, if you select two pin variants and two configuration, there will be four processor components added into the project.
If you have selected Initialize all peripherals checkbox and CPU contains device pin settings, automatically during the project creation the pin settings is added to the project.
Note: This option is not supported for all derivatives. If supported on given family, the project can contain except the CPU component and the PinSettings component for configuring pin routing and electrical properties.
The project wizard offers support for CPUs that how the static files are used in the
Processor Expert project. There are two project modes:
- In Linked mode - static files (for instance, cpu and peripheral init modules, PDD modules, io map, system files) are linked from the repository of Processor Expert (ProcessorExpert\lib\subdirectory). Modification of these files is possible only in the Processor Expert's repository and affects other projects.
- In Standalone mode - static files (for instance, cpu and peripheral init modules, PDD modules, io map, system files) are placed in the project folder. They are copied from Processor Expert's repository (ProcessorExpert\lib\subdirectory) during project creation. This mode allows to modify the static files in the project without affecting other projects.
Note: Static files are not supported for all derivatives.
For details on configurations, see Configurations topic.
