What is PI?
17006 PCG
Slide
What is PI?
What is PI?
PI is a completely new approach of

graphically configuring peripherals for a
project
Creates a separate, easily maintained list of

drivers and initializers for each peripheral
It utilizes an easy to use Java-based

Graphical User Interface
17006 PCG
Slide
What is PI?
Unlike its predecessors, the modular

approach means its easy to modify, manage
and regenerate modules, add peripherals,
and change configurations.
Avoids pitfalls of Visual Device Initializer (VDI)
Avoids pitfalls of Application Maestro (AM)

which required a high degree of maintenance
17006 PCG
Slide
What is PI?
You can quickly and easily
Add code using PI or the traditional way, its

your choice
Configure the entire device for you

application
Modify the generated code
Remove the generated code if you choose

not to use a module
17006 PCG
Slide
Why PI?
17006 PCG
Why?
Slide
Why PI?
To help customers both new and

existing
To help speed up and simplify
development
To generate standardize drivers
between devices and families
Because it was asked for it via emails,
MASTERs and Forums
