5.4. Step 4: Unlock the Packaged Subsystem

As a packaged subsystem user, you can unlock a packaged subsystem for full editing control of the packaged subsystem, provided that the packaged subsystem author enables this control via the UNLOCKABLE property. To unlock a packaged subsystem for use as a template for a new component, follow these steps:
  1. In the System View, right-click the new dp_tx_subsys packaged subsystem, and then click Unlock. Click OK when prompted to confirm the unlock. The packaged subsystem unlocks and the icon changes to an unlocked subsystem.
    Figure 30. Unlocked Subsystem Icon Changes


    Note: The Unlock command is unavailable unless the packaged subsystem author specifies UNLOCKABLE=true.
  2. To view the full contents of the dp_tx_subsys subsystem, right-click the subsystem and then click Drill Into Subsystem. The dp_tx_subsys subsystem now appears fully editable in the System View tab.

  3. To remove the unneeded PIO components from the system, in the System View, right-click the pio_0 component and then click Remove. Repeat this step for pio_1.
  4. To return to the top-level System View, click the Move To Top of Hierarchy button. The user_system level of the hierarchy now appears in the System View.
  5. To synchronize system information with your changes, click the Sync System Infos button.
  6. To save the system, click File > Save in Platform Designer.
