4.1.1 File Types and Extensions
When you create a project, a root directory with three folders is generated at the location you specify.
The name of the root directory is the project name and the names of the three folders are lib
(Library), obj (Objects), and output (for files generated by a project build).
■ The lib folder contains user module Library Source files.
■ The obj folder contains intermediate files generated during the compiling/assembling of .c and
assembly source files.
■ The output folder contains the project.hex file (used for debugging and device programming), the
listing file, and other files that contain debug information.
Table 4-1 lists the PSoC Designer project file types and extensions. Most of these files are editable
and appear in the left frame of the system interface inside the folder bearing the project name. For
more details regarding files and recommended usage see “Project File System” on page 89.
