You can run the DRC at any time or any number of times during project development. To run it auto-
matically each time you generate application files, go to: Tools > Options > Interconnect Editor >
General.
You can also set specifics regarding the level of rule checking and result detail, go to:
Tools > Options > Tools > DRC tab.
2.9 Generating Application Files
Generating application files is the final step to configuring your target device. When you generate
application files, PSoC Designer takes all device configurations and updates existing assembly
source and C Compiler code and generates API (Application Programming Interface) and ISR (Inter-
rupt Service Routine) shells. At this time, the system also creates a data sheet based on your part
configurations that can be accessed in the Chip-Level Editor (see “Configuration Data Sheets” on
page 48). Generate Application is executed automatically during the application editor build process,
when needed.
Once this process is complete, you can enter the Code Editor and begin programming the desired
functionality into your (now configured) device. For further details regarding programming, see
“Code Editor” on page 55 and “Assembler” on page 95.
You can generate application files from any view. To do this, click the Generate/Build Application icon
. The Generate Project Status window will inform you of the progress of the build.

Full details of the build are sent to the Output window. If the Output window is not visible, select Out-
put from the View menu.

NOTE: It is important to note that if you modify any device configurations, you must re-generate the
application files before you resume source programming.
