SYS/BIOS: Introduction to Real-Time Operating Systems Slide 12

Shown here is a view of the GCONF configuration editor inside Code Composer Studio. The XGCONF view can be brought up at any time by double-clicking on the .cfg file in the Code Composer Studio project. On the Outline pane on the right hand side the user can see the SYS/BIOS modules that have been enabled in this application. The Available Packages pane on the left hand side shows all the available modules that can be added to the configuration, which can be done by dragging them to the Outline view. If one selects any of the modules in the Outline view, the main editor pane displays the configuration parameters and provides the user with a way to change their values directly. Also note that the Editor pane actually has two tabs: one to display the properties, but also one to display the source code. So it can be switched back and forth and the user can actually see the corresponding configuration script in the .cfg file as the configuration is updated. The user can create new instances of a kernel object in the Outline pane by right-clicking on the object. Once this is done, users can then configure that particular instance object in the way they see fit. In the lower right corner of the display is the Problems pane. One advantage of using XGCONF is that it will flag configuration errors not only before run-time, but even before build time as well. So for example, setting a config parameter to outside its bounds will force an error message to appear in the Problems pane.
