Peripheral Modules Tree

This part of the main application window contains a tree-like list of on-chip peripherals. There is
a check-box control at each item, which can be used to enable or disable an appconfig.h output for
a given module. When the box is unchecked, no module's register values are written to the output
file. The GCT warns the user when there are changes made to a module configuration and the
configuration is not selected to be saved.
7.2.1.2 Peripheral Module Settings Pane
This is the area where peripheral module control pages are displayed. Default configuration
displayed in the GCT control page is a post-reset state of each peripheral module.
The graphical representation of peripheral module settings uses standard MS Windows control
elements:
• Edit Box as numeric value or string input - numeric values are parsed as decimals by default. To
specify hexadecimal number format use the standard "0x" prefix. The H/D toolbar button can be
used to convert the value just being edited between these two formats.
When using the Edit Box to specify an interrupt service routine (ISR) name in the GCT, use the
valid C-language function name, without the types, parameters or even the brackets.
• Drop-Down List Box (Combo Box) - used as mode selectors, typically affecting a multiple-bits
fields in a control register.
• Check Box - typically representing a single-bit configuration values
7.2.1.3 Pinout Page
The pinout page is a "welcome" page displayed initially when the GCT is started. This page
shows a block diagram of the processor device as it is known from the data sheet.
The page content is actively generated by the GCT and displays several useful information about
how the device is currently configured. For each peripheral module, the page displays a status
icon which informs the user about what package pins are being used by the module and how they
are configured.
The page can also be switched to a "package view" where a top-view of the device package is
displayed. Each package pin on this view is labeled by a function name assigned by pin
multiplexer in a current project. Clicking on the pin label activates the GPIO control page where a
pin multiplexer configuration can be changed.
