    boxsym-rnd aspects

    +

    +The symbol for MCUs and CPUs are typically generated using a tool, such +as boxsym-rnd. To play nicely with funcmap, the only requirement is that +the tool generates the affected terminal labels to use dyntext +%../a.funcmap/name%. In boxsym this is done when the funcmap property +(without any argument) is added to a pin block. +

    +Boxsym-rnd does not generate the funcmap file; the funcmap file shall be +written manually. It is common that an MCU or CPU symbol is a heavy symbol +thta works with only one funcmap. In that case the funcmap attribute could +be specified on component level (in the global section of the boxsym +input file). + + +
