2 – Frequently Asked Questions
Can I rename my top-level ports?
Not in the MSS; you can rename top-level ports outside of the MSS.
Why can't I delete anything from the Canvas?
The MSS Configurator Canvas is intended to show the hardened components and peripherals of the
SmartFusion Microcontroller Subsystem. The peripherals are available to you at no extra impact on your
design size or speed, however you should disable them if you are not using them in your current
application.
Why can't I add anything in the Canvas?
If you need to add custom logic or soft peripherals to your design, you need to do this in a regular
SmartDesign. Instantiate your MSS component into a SmartDesign and you will be able to add any soft
peripherals, or custom logic.
How do I zoom in the Canvas?
You have all the typical zoom actions available in the Canvas menu.
In addition, you can hold down CTRL and use your mouse scroll wheel to zoom in and out.
How do I see the nets on the Canvas?
If a pin is connected, the net for that pin will be shown when you select the pin. If you want to
permanently display the net, you can right-click the pin and choose Show Net.
You can also globally show all nets on the Canvas by going to SmartDesign > Show Nets.
