Peripherals view

The Peripherals view contains a table showing a list of available peripherals on the currently selected processor that can be configured by the Peripherals tool. In case of multicore processors, the displayed peripherals are also core-specific.

Each instance of a peripheral (for example, UART0) occupies one row. First column contains peripheral name and a checkbox indicating whether the peripheral is used by any component instance.

Second column contains a name of component instance handling the peripheral. This name is customizable in the settings editor and it is used in generated code. The name of the component instance can't contain spaces.

You can enable an instance by selecting the checkbox, or by clicking the switch in the settings editor of the component instance.

Disable a component instance by unchecking the checkbox.

Double-click the second column to open the Settings Editor for the component instance.

Right-click the the peripheral to open a shortcut menu. Several options are available in the shortcut menu.
