High-performance Embedded Workshop 5. Tools Administration

Although initial registration is automatic, during the course of development or if you want to manage the tools being
used in your projects more effectively, you may need to register components yourself.
5.2 High-performance Embedded Workshop registration files
When a High-performance Embedded Workshop compatible component (i.e. toolchain, system tool or utility phase) is
installed, part of its installation will include a file with the extension .HRF. This file describes the component to the
High-performance Embedded Workshop (see the figure below).
The process of registration refers to loading a component’s .HRF file into the Tools Administration dialog box (see the
figure below).
In order to use a component with High-performance Embedded Workshop it must first be registered (see section 5.3,
Registering a component, for further information). The Tools Administration dialog box shows all currently registered
components. To access it, ensure no workspaces are open and then select [Tools -> Administration]. If you attempt to
access the Tools Administration dialog box when a workspace is open, the Tools Administration dialog box is
opened but cannot be modified. When High-performance Embedded Workshop is installed, any new tools are
automatically registered. Day to day usage of the High-performance Embedded Workshop though, may mean you need
to know more about the tools registration process.
High-performance Embedded Workshop stores tool information in a tool database file, which is stored in the root of the
tool installation directory. By default this is set to the High-performance Embedded Workshop application directory,
however if you are working in a network environment this directory may be set to another location. It is possible to
change the tool directory location and this causes a re-scan of the tools that are registered in High-performance
Embedded Workshop.
