Note: In ModusToolbox™ tools package 3.5.0 and later, you can use the Settings tool instead of these environment variables. If these are set, they will be disabled in the Settings tool. See the Settings tool user guide for more details.


ModusToolbox™ software supports custom installation paths, and we provide the following variables to specify locations of tools and support files other than the default:

  • CY_TOOLS_PATHS

    (path to the installation "

    tools_<version>

    " directory)

  • CyManifestLocOverride

    (path to the local manifest.loc file)

  • CyRemoteManifestOverride

    (URL to a specific manifest file)

We also include a global path for assets like device-db using the variable named

CY_GETLIBS_GLOBAL_PATH

. If the variable does not exist, it assumes a default path of

~/.modustoolbox/global

.



Note: When entering variables that require a path, use a Windows-style path (not Cygwin-style, like /cygdrive/c/). Also, use forward slashes. For example, "C:/MyPath/ModusToolbox/tools_<version>".
