4.10. Selecting Different DM3 Configuration Files

Section 4.2, Selecting the DM3 Configuration Files explains how to select configuration files the first time you run DCM with a DM3 board in your system. If you want to select different configuration files, follow this procedure.

Note: If the default settings in the FCD file are not appropriate for your configuration, you can modify the default settings. Refer to the DM3 Configuration File Reference. This document provides instructions for editing configuration files and using the FCDGEN, PDK Configuration, and PDKManager configuration utilities. It also provides reference information about DM3 configuration parameters.

To select different DM3 configuration files, perform the following:

1. On the DCM Main Window (Figure 8, DCM Main Window) click the Stop Service option from the Service pull-down menu or click the Stop Service icon.
2. From the DCM Action pull-down menu, click Restore Device Defaults.

   Note: Clicking Restore Device Defaults will reset all of the DM3 board's modified parameters to their default values. If you need to reset any of these parameters, refer to Section 4.9, Modifying Other DCM Property Sheet Parameters after you complete this procedure.

3. From the DCM Action pull-down menu, click Auto Detect Devices. The Assign Firmware File dialog box will appear.
4. Follow the procedure in Section 4.2, Selecting the DM3 Configuration Files.

Note: It is possible to assign a different PCD (configuration) file to a board by using the procedure in "Section 4.9, Modifying Other DCM Property Sheet Parameters" and changing the value of PCDFileName on the board's Misc property sheet. However, if you don't select the correct PCD file, the board will not start. Further, you also may need to update the FCD file (by changing the value of FCDFileName on the board's Misc property sheet). Therefore, this approach should only be used by an experienced System Administrator.
