4.7.1. Adding a new BCD group

To create a BOARD, a CHIP, or a COMPONENT group in a .bcd file:

  1. Select Connection Properties... from the Target menu to display the Connection Properties window.

  2. Expand the (*.bcd) Board/Chip Definitions group in the left pane. A list of existing BCD files is displayed.

    Note

    The following steps assume that you have created the AM.bcd file as described in Creating a new BCD file.

  3. Expand the required BCD file group. For example, expand the ...\AM.bcd group.

  4. Right-click on the name of the BCD file to display the context menu. For example, right-click on the group ...\AM.bcd.

  5. Select Make New Group... from the context menu to display the Group Type/Name selector dialog box.

  6. Select the type of group you want to use from BOARD, CHIP, or COMPONENT. For this example, select CHIP.

  7. In the Group Name data field change the name from new to something suitable for your target, using only alphanumeric characters, underscore _, and dash -. For this example, enter S5471KT.

  8. Click OK to create the group. The new CHIP=S5471KT group is created, shown in Figure 4.12.

  9. Delete the BOARD=ARM_TEMPLATE group:

    1. Right-click on the BOARD=ARM_TEMPLATE group to display the context menu.

    2. Select Delete from the context menu. The group is deleted.

  10. Select Save and Close from the File menu to save your changes and close the Connection Properties window.

Note

If multiple BCD groups are closely related, then you can create those groups in a single BCD file. For an example of this configuration, see the ...\CM966ES.bcd entry in the (*.bcd) Board/Chip Definitions group.
