Creating a Configuration

You can create a new configuration that contains only a base component. You then add components to your configuration as needed. Configurations are stored outside of the component database as XML files with the file extension .slx.

To create a new configuration

  1. In Windows XP Embedded Target Designer, from the File menu, choose New.

    The New Configuration dialog box appears.

  2. In the Configuration Name box, type a name for the configuration.

  3. In the Choose Platform box, select a platform on which to build your run-time image.

  4. Choose OK.

    The new .slx file appears in the configuration editor.

The new configuration contains a base component that is specified by the platform for all configurations based on that platform. The base component contains only a set of dependencies so that all configurations that are based on a particular platform contain the minimum set of components to pass a dependency check.
