Get started with SysConfig

System Configuration Tool (SysConfig) is a graphical interface for configuring your SimpleLink Low Power F3 SDK project. Configuration files, C source files and header files are generated based on the parameters configured in the SysConfig dashboard.

SysConfig can be used as a standalone tool, or as a plug-in to CCS.

Attention

Files and code generated by SysConfig should be thoroughly checked and reviewed.

Using Stand-alone SysConfig

You can find the standalone SysConfig tool on the SysConfig Standalone Installer Download Page.

Open the System Configuration Tool, and select your device, part and package, then press START.

When you have finished configuring your .syscfg file, save and generate files. Export the generated files to your project, overwriting existing files if necessary. Make any needed changes to your application for interfacing with the SysConfig-generated files.

Using SysConfig as a Plug-In to CCS

SysConfig requires CCS v. 8.3 or later. (Please use the version of CCS recommended for the SimpleLink Low Power F3 SDK you are working with. You can find the recommended tool version numbers in the release notes.)

In CCS, import a SysConfig enabled project from the examples folder.

In the project folder in CCS, you will see a .syscfg file. Open this file to start the SysConfig graphical interface.

Viewing SysConfig Output

If you click the Generated Files (< >) Generated Files button at the top of the Configuration pane you will find a list of Generated Files. After selecting a file you will be able, in real-time, to identify how the changes in the GUI effect the generated files. This will help you review the relationship between the GUI and the code. When building your project, the generated files are exported into the output folder of your project.
