Navigating UI
The Embedd UI has two main zones:
-
Component Explorer
-
Application Screen
The Component Explorer is organised as follows:
-
Component Name shows the component’s part number
-
Documentation folder contains all component-related documentation, including different datasheet revisions
-
Configuration folder (nested under each Documentation version) contains editable Digital Component Models. Users can create multiple configurations, while a default “system” configuration maintains the unedited version
-
Drivers folder stores the generated driver source code library for each configuration
-
Testing folder contains the testing environment for each configuration
The Component Explorer also features:
-
Upload datasheet button (see next section for details)
-
Three-dot menu for accessing User Profile, Documentation, and Logout
The Application Screen uses a tab-based interface similar to VSCode.
Clicking items in the Component Explorer (configurations, datasheets, testing environments, or code) opens them in new tabs.
Here’s the typical workflow:
-
Upload a datasheet
-
View the created component in Explorer and its opened configuration
-
Customize the configuration in the Application Screen based on your needs. Your changes create a new configuration in the Explorer
-
Generate Testing, Driver, or Documentation as needed—each creates a new tab in the Explorer
