20.2 Introduction

The PolarFire® SoC Microcontroller Subsystem (MSS) Configurator provides a graphical user interface that allows embedded software engineers to define the MSS start-up state quickly. It exports an XML file that is used by the embedded software flow that converts the XML into initialization constructs. Additionally, the tool outputs a CXZ file for inclusion into your Libero® design flow. The CXZ file contains information about metadata and port needed by the FPGA designer to complete the MSS and FPGA fabric connectivity.

MSS configurator is available as a stand-alone application and as part of the Libero SoC design tool suite. The information in this user guide applies to both.

Important: Older versions of this documentation uses the terms "Master" and "Slave." The equivalent Microchip terminology used in this document is "Initiator" and "Target" respectively.
