Software Configuration Options

Configuration options which only affect the target software

Software configuration options require a new processor configuration, but do not affect the generated hardware. Therefore, options can be selected after a hardware design has been completed. The initial choices set in the software pane of the processor generator when creating a configuration will used to generate matching diagnostics with the HW package.

You can easily explore alternatives by building the HW + SW one way, and then building "software upgrades" of the original configuration with different combinations of target software options. "Upgrades" can be variants built with the same XPG release, or they can be built with newer XPG releases.
