One option to open ModusToolbox™ tools is to configure the Keil µVision

Tools

menu using the

Customize Tools Menu

dialog to add shortcuts to the various tools. This is a one-time configuration for each tool you wish to add. Then, the tools will be available for all your ModusToolbox™ applications running in Keil µVision.



On this dialog, click the

Menu Content "New"

button and enter a name for the tool. Then, complete the following:

  • Command

    :

    [

    path-to-modustoolbox-tools

    ]\modus-shell\bin\bash.exe

    This opens the bash shell from the tools package installation location. You can navigate to the executable using the [

    …

    ] button.

  • Arguments

    :

    -c "PATH=/usr/bin:$$PATH; make -C '$P' [

    tool-name

    ]"

    This passes a command to the bash shell to open the specified

    [tool-name]

    (for example, device-configurator, bsp-assistant, library-manager, etc.).

    The variable

    '$P'

    is the µVision project directory, and it is quoted because it returns a Windows-style path, which does not work without the quotes in bash. If the application is multi-core, add

    /..

    to navigate to one directory higher where the

    Makefile

    is located.

  • Run Minimized

    : This check box is optional. If selected, the bash shell is minimized in the Taskbar running the command to open the tool.
