Minimal config package structure
The smallest config package layout, as generated for a hand-written control application.
less than a minute
A hand-written control application needs far fewer files than a standard application does. This is the smallest layout that runs:
├── motorcortex.conf # executable command line
├── config.json # application startup parameters
├── linking.json # links between parameters
├── license.pem # license file
├── control
│ ├── control.xml # application parameter values
│ └── persistence.bin # persistent parameter values
├── io
│ └── master.xml # bus (EtherCAT) configuration
└── user
└── parameters.json # user parameter definitions
Neither linking.json nor license.pem is a fixed name. config.json names both — the licence through its License setting, and the links through a Linking key on each feature that uses them. A standard application splits its links into one file per feature under a linking/ directory instead; both layouts are correct.
Each of these files is documented in the Config Package chapter, which also shows the layout of a shipped application.
