Customizing Tools menu

Hi,

I am new in this forum, and new to Flowcode.

Searching for a way to load an Eblocks test program, i ran accross the Mloader program and finally found it under the .../Tools subdirectory. I wonder if there is an option to customize the "Tools" menu in FC7 to enable selecting those tools which are not listed in the standard but are found in the .../Tools subdirectory.

Can someone help me?

Thanks in advance.

Hello and welcome to the forums.

The tools menu in Flowcode is for components and currently there is no way of linking executables here.

What you could do it create a Windows shortcut to the mLoader application so you can easily run it outside of Flowcode should you need to.

Inside Flowcode the compile to chip button should automatically compile and then program via mLoader (depending on your target microcontroller) so you don't have to manually open it and transfer the file.

Hi Ben,

Thank you for your reply. I suppose I should have mentioned that the Eblocks test program supplied by Matrix is only offered as a .hex file, so I believe the compile to chip button is not an option. It is no problem for me to create and use a desktop link, but I just thought there might be a way to customize it.
