There are numerous ways to launch the EZ-PD™ Configurator, and those ways depend on how you use the various tools in ModusToolbox™.

make command​

As described in the

ModusToolbox™ tools package user guide

build system chapter, you can run numerous make commands in the application directory, such as launching the EZ-PD™ Configurator. After you have created a ModusToolbox™ application, navigate to the application directory and type the following command in the appropriate bash terminal window:

make ez-pd-configurator

This command opens the EZ-PD™ Configurator GUI for the specific application in which you are working.

VS Code and Eclipse​

VS Code and Eclipse have tools to launch the BSP Assistant from within an open application. Refer to the applicable user guide for more details:

  • VS Code for ModusToolbox™ user guide

  • Eclipse IDE for ModusToolbox™ user guide

Executable (GUI)​

If you don't have an application or if you just want to see what the configurator looks like, you can launch the EZ-PD™ Configurator GUI by running its executable as appropriate for your operating system (for example, double-click it or select it using the Windows Start menu). By default, it is installed here:

<install_dir>/ModusToolbox/tools_<version>/ez-pd-configurator-<version>

When launched this way, the EZ-PD™ Configurator opens without any settings configured. You can either open a specific configuration file or create a new one. See

Menus

for more information.

Executable (CLI)​

The EZ-PD™ Configurator executable can be run from the command line, and it also has a "cli" version of the executable as well. Running configurator executables from the command line can be useful as part of batch files or shell scripts to re-generate the source code based on the latest configuration settings. The exit code for the executable is zero if the operation is successful, or non-zero if the operation encounters an error. For more information about the command-line options, run the executable using the

-h

option.
