Entries and icons
Each entry in the repository has an icon associated with it. Module icons serve the
following purposes:
v They provide a visual indicator for the type of module (operating-system
module, application module, device-driver module, filter module, or utility
module).
v They distinguish a container module from a standard module.
v They indicate whether the module is in the test state or gold state. If the icon is
gold, the module is in the gold state. When a module is in the gold state, the
module is locked and you cannot make changes to it. If the icon is any other
color but gold, the module is in the test state. When a module is in the test state,
you can make changes to the module attributes and source files as often as is
needed.
Map icons serve the following purposes:
v They provide a visual indicator for the type of map (base map or driver map).
v They indicate whether the map is in the test state or gold state. If the icon is
gold, the module is in the gold state.
Because creating a module entry in the repository and building the module are
two separate operations, the ImageUltra Builder interface provides a means by
which you can tell whether or not a module has been built. When you look in the
Repository window, if the text for module entry is shown in grey, the module has
not been built; if the text for module entry is shown in black, the module has been
built.
These icon and module entry conventions also apply to all other windows used in
the ImageUltra Builder interface.
Manipulating entries
Moving and copying map and module entries in the Repository window is very
similar to using Windows Explorer; you use the left mouse button to drag and
drop the selected entry into the desired folder. Then, when you release the mouse
button, you specify if the operation is a move operation or a copy operation. If you
copy a map or module entry into a different folder, that entry is a reference to the
same map or module as the original entry. If you copy an entry into the same
folder as the original, you create a new map or module that has “Copy of” added
to the beginning of the entry. Any modification to this new map or module does
not affect the original, and any modification to the original map or module does
not affect the new map or module. You can also copy multiple maps and modules
in a single operation using the same techniques as used in Windows Explorer.
Deleting a map or module entry is also similar to using Windows Explorer; you
right-click on the appropriate map or module entry, select Delete, and then confirm
the delete operation. However, because you might have multiple instances of an
entry in different folders, the actual map or module is not deleted from the
repository until the last instance of an entry is deleted. Then, when the last
instance of the entry is deleted, a prompt appears asking if you want to delete the
map or module from the repository.
You can also use keystrokes instead of a mouse to achieve the same results. For
example, to copy an entry into another folder, do the following:
