The EDITBOARDFILE command enables you to edit a specified board file.

Note

This command is not available in the headless debugger.

Syntax

EDITBOARDFILE [,configure] [="boardfilename","routeID"...]

where:

configure

Opens the configuration dialog for the debug target.

boardfilename

Identifies the board file that you want to edit. This must be in double quotes, for example, "myboard.brd".

You can include one of more environment variables in the filename. For example, if MYPATH defines the location C:\Myfiles, you can specify:

editboardfile ="$MYPATH\\myboard.brd"
routeID

Identifies the route ID for the target associated with the board file that you want to edit. This must be in double quotes, for example, "3".

Description

The EDITBOARDFILE command displays the Connection Properties window to edit the specified board file. If you do not specify a board file, the settings of the current board file are displayed for you to edit.

Note

If you specify a routeID, you must also specify a blank boardfilename, for example:

editboardfile,configure "","3"

You can specify one or more boardfilename/routeID combinations.

If you make any changes to a board file, the updated file is reread when you close the Connection Properties window.

The command runs asynchronously.
