Quick start

This section provides a simple workflow for how to use the Device Configurator.

1. Open the Device Configurator as applicable to your environment; that is, in stand-alone operation in Keil µVision or as part of a ModusToolbox™ application.

2. Enable a desired peripheral on the Peripherals tab by clicking the enable check box. Notice the Parameters pane becomes populated with fields.

   

3. Notice also that a new task may appear in the Notice List pane.

   See Icons for descriptions of the various icons displayed in the Device Configurator.

4. Double-click on a task to jump to the parameter that needs to be addressed.

   

5. Select appropriate Parameter values and the task should be removed from the Notice List.

6. When all tasks have been completed, select the Code Preview pane to see a preview of the code that will be generated upon saving.

   

7. Use the Resources tabs to enable and configure other resources as needed in the same manner as peripherals.

8. Save the *. modus file to generate source code.

   The Device Configurator generates code into a "GeneratedSource" directory in your Eclipse IDE application, or in the same location you saved the *.modus file for non-Eclipse IDE applications. That directory contains the necessary source (.c) and header (.h) files that use the relevant driver APIs to configure the hardware. Application code then uses this code to configure the system.

9. Use the appropriate API in your application code.
