The SC is a standalone GUI-based tool for setting the assignments of pin functions to pins in the design of hardware specifications. “Smart” refers to it also checking the pin configurations and states of the settings for the pin functions of the MCU, and being able to resolve these where this is readily done. The allocation of pin functions of peripheral modules to pins can be set up in tables, and figures indicate cases of contention between multiplexed functions and produce tables indicating the problems and solutions where possible.
This tool also can be used for checking for modifications to software which are required due to changes to packages or in the selection of packages.
