How do I include (import?) one .cfg file in another .cfg file?

Fred Carter

I have a series of projects which use a common SYS/BIOS cfg file called "MSP_Common.cfg"). One of the projects needs an additional clock object, so I wrote:

utils.importFile("MSP_Common.cfg");
/*
* Extend the MSP_Common configuration
*/
var TclockParams = new Clock.Params();
TclockParams.period = 4; /* Ticks */
TclockParams.startFlag = false; /* Program will manually start */
TclockParams.arg = (UArg)0 ;
Program.global.clockInst1 = Clock.create("&ThermistorADC", 4, TclockParams);

Alas this doesn't work. The SYS/BIOS overview page shows none of the information from MSP_Common.cfg

What is the correct command/syntax to include one .cfg file in another?

XDCtools 3.24.5.48; SYS/BIOS 6.34.2.18

Fred,
that one should work. It's a bug if it doesn't. There are other functions you could try, but they are probably having the same problem:

xdc.loadCapsule("MSP_Common.cfg") or utils.load("MSP_Common.cfg")

Hi Sasha,

I had created a link to the MSP_Common.cfg file in the project. I had to change the importFile to the actual relative address of the file.
(../MSP_Common/MSP_Common.cfg). This line works as expected:

utils.importFile("../MSP_Common/MSP_Common.cfg");

Thanks,

Fred
