Workflow

The following steps briefly describe the basic workflow in the Peripherals Tool.

  1. Select Tools>Peripherals from the tools framework main menu to open the Peripherals Tool.
  2. In the Peripherals view, select the peripheral instance you would like to configure (use the checkbox).
  3. In case more components are available for use by the peripheral, the Select component dialog appears. The Select component dialog shows the list of suitable configuration components for the selected peripheral matching the SDK driver for the selected processor.
  4. Select the component you want to use and click OK to confirm.
  5. In the settings editor that automatically opens, select the Component mode that you would like to use and configure individual settings.
    Note: The selection of the component mode may impact appearance of some settings. Therefore, the selection of the mode should be always the first step.
  6. Open the Code Preview view and see the output source code.
    Note: Note: The source code preview is automatically generated after each change if no error is reported.
  7. In case you are using a toolchain project, you can use Update project command from the toolbar. If not, you can export the source code by selecting File>Export... from the Main Menu.
    Note: Note: To export the source code, you can also click the Export button in the Code Preview view.
  8. Settings can be saved in a MEX format (used for all settings of all tools) by selecting File>Save from the Main Menu.
