7.3 Using the SysConfig Tool

SysConfig is a graphical user interface (GUI) tool that provides an easy-to-use method for configuring TI microcontroller products, including F29x Real-Time Control MCUs. SysConfig automatically generates initialization code for the device, including peripherals, interrupts, pin multiplexing initialization, and more. SysConfig also automatically identifies device setup errors and provides helpful guidance to rectify configuration issues, provides graphical visualizations, and enables easy porting of applications between different devices.

C29 SysConfig is available as part of the device F29 SDK, and requires the SysConfig tool, which is delivered built-in with the Code Composer Studio™ (CCS) integrated development environment (IDE), and is also available as a standalone tool for use with other development environments.

The SSU tool within C29 SysConfig is a comprehensive tool for defining and implementing SSU protection and isolation within an F29x application. The tool provides an easy-to-use flow for defining application partitions, allocating code and data sections, defining protections for memory and peripherals, and implementing debug security options. The SSU tool automatically generates all the required code and output files required to implement these protections, including the SECCFG sector image, application linker command file, header files, and any required initialization code.
