PSoC 6 and ModusToolbox: Create a Project with its own Board- and Module configurations

I tried this out and was confused at first because the Shared directory (mtb_shared / TARGET_XXXXXXXX_ / latest-vXXXX / COMPONENT_BSP_DESIGN_MODUS) for the BSP device was not listed as described in Step 2.
What I had to do was make the device shared in the Library manager. It was unchecked by default. When I checked it and selected "Update", the directory was created. Now, I can follow along to the rest of the steps.
I don't recall setting this checkbox when opening any projects, but I'm just learning ModusTB now and just wanted to not this point.
This a neat feature, but since I'm only using the the CY8CKIT, I'm not sure if I'll be using this configuration. I don't plan on changing the BSP at this stage of my development.

This is slowly turning into a series

PSoC 6 and ModusToolbox: Create a Project with its own Board- and Module configurations PSoC 6: Low Power Management - Power consumption without WiFi or Bluetooth PSoC 6 and ModusToolbox: Create a FreeRTOS 10.3 Project PSoC 6 and ModusToolbox: UART receiver with FreeRTOS PSoC 6 and ModusToolbox: FreeRTOS message queue

Note to self: when creating a project and adding FreeRTOS 10.3, update Makefile with this:

[embed:dc8ab71f-3b98-42d9-b0f6-e21e02a0f8e2:3ef06e6b-9b7d-4651-b12d-db8be7f5e991:type=text&text=COMPONENTS%3DFREERTOS]

Else there are compile errors in the abstraction-rtos build.

A little trick I use often in Eclipse to get fast access to documentation.

I create a lightweight Eclipse project to collect common documentation. In this case: Controller and evelopment kit docs.

In that project I create a virtual folder, named Documentation. It's not a real file location, but it acts a s one in Eclipse.

Then I drag and drop any PDF that I want to have accessible while developing on that folder. This creates a link to the documents.

All of this takes very little disk space. There are no files copied or duplicated.

When opening the first one, I do that by right-clicking on it, open with other -> internal web browser,

and click use it for all pdf files.

The files then open as an Eclipse window just like source files.

Often, the PDF files have odd names that do not tell what the content is.

You can rename them in Eclipse. It does not change the actual file name of the document, only how it shows in Eclipse.

For documents that are project specific, like datasheets of ICs used in a particular project, I create a similar virtual folder in the project itself, and drop the datasheets in it...
