Emit Configurations settings

The Emit Configurations dialog box allows you to create, manage and run configurations. The Emitting the source code with Visual Graph Tools section explains the emitting steps.

The toolbar on the left pane allows you to manage configurations.

The right pane includes three tabs and allows you to configure various settings:

• the Main tab allows you to specify the source graph, output and source folders.
  
  
  
  
  

  Table 1. Emit configurations - Main settings (ISP project)

  Option	Description
  Graph	The .isp file path for emitting the source code.
  Output	The location of the emitted source code. Make sure that the launch configuration is located in the specified output project (see the Common tab).
  Dynamic sequencer sources folder	The sub-folder for the dynamic sequencer source code.
  Static sequencer sources folder	The sub-folder for the static sequencer source code.
  Emit host code	Select this check box to emit the source code for the host component. Using this option for projects created with the S32DS Project from Example wizard is not supported.
  Static sequencer	Select this check box to emit the source code for the ISP static sequencer. The static sequencer requires the Heart Beat Source to be set.

  
  
  
  
  

  Table 2. Emit configurations - Main settings (APEX2 project)

  Option	Description
  Source type	This option specifies the source type. Options: APEX2 program for emitting the source files in the APEX2 program project APEX2 graph for emitting the source files in the APEX2 graph project
  Source file	Click Browse Workspace... and select: the .apuprogram file for the APEX2 program source type the .apugraph file for the APEX2 graph source type
  Output	The location of the emitted source code. Make sure that the launch configuration is located in the specified output project (see the Common tab).
  Emit kernels	This option enables emitting the kernel source code. Kernel folder: Name of the folder where user-created kernels will be emitted. This folder will be created under the specified Output location. This folder is only created when you emit a program that uses custom user kernels. If a graph uses a system kernel, this folder is not created.
  Emit graphs	This option enables emitting the graph source code. Name of the folder where graphs will be emitted. This folder will be created under the specified Output location.
  Emit host	This option enables emitting the source code for the host component. This option is available only for the APEX2 program source type. Name of the folder where the implementation and header files for the host will be emitted. This folder will contain: the APEX2 process controller files, the acf_host files - placeholders for the APEX2 host application code. This folder will be created under the specified output location. If the folder already exists, the tool reuses the existing folder. The existing files with the same name will be overwritten with the newly emitted files.
  Emit test	This option enables emitting the source code for testing. This option is available only for the APEX2 program source type. Name of the folder where the test files will be emitted. The emitted files are intended to be used during the development and testing stages.

• the Refresh tab allows you to configure the following settings:

  Table 3. Emit configurations - Refresh settings

  Option	Description
  Refresh resources upon completion	Select this check box, if you want your project to be automatically updated after emitting the source code. When selected allows you to specify the resources to be refreshed: The entire workspace - This option refreshes all projects in the workspace. The selected resource - This option refreshes only the selected resource. The selection can be a project, or a folder, or anything else in the project. The project containing the selected resource - This option refreshes only the project with the currently selected resource. The folder containing the selected resource - This option refreshes only the folder with the currently selected resource. Specific resource - Select this option and click Specify Resources... to create a working set to refresh after the emitting.
  Recursively include sub-folders	Select this check box to refresh the sub-folders.

• the Common tab allows you to configure the following settings:

  Table 4. Emit configurations - Common settings

  Option	Description
  Save as	Specify where to save the emit configuration you are editing. Select the required option: Local file: This option stores the launch configuration file in a local system folder. It is not recommended to use this option, because the system cannot determine the related project and does not execute pre- and post-emit steps. Shared file: Select this option to store the launch configuration file in the current project structure. Click Browse and navigate to the exact location. The <emit_configuration_name>.launch file will appear in the specified project folder in the Project Explorer view.
  Display in favorites menu	This option is not used.
  Encoding	Select the encoding for output to be displayed in the Console view.
  Standard Input and Output	Allocate console (necessary for input) - Select this option for the Console view to receive output for the emitting session. Input File - This option is not used. Output File - Select this option to save output from the Console view to a file. Use the Workspace, File System or Variables buttons to specify the output file. Append - If saving to the output file is selected, enable this option to append output to the end of the existing file rather than to rewrite the file.
  Launch in background	Select this check box to emit the source code in the background mode.
