Schema Description

Parent Element	Element Chain
root	Document root
Attributes	Description	Type	Use
xmlns:xs	Is set to: "http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" to indicate compliance to the XML format.	xs:decimal	required
xs:noNamespaceSchemaLocation	Path and file name of the XML Schema Definition (XSD).	xs:string	required
Child Elements	Description	Type	Occurrence
device	Specifies available microcontroller devices (i.e. SoCs) that are part of the system. Typically a system contains only a single SoC device.	complexType	1..*
resources	Specifies the resources (i.e. memory and peripherals) on system level, i.e. those not integral part of an SoC device. Resources defined on system level may be specified as shared between multiple SoCs.	complexType	0..1
zones	Specifies the system partitioning in terms of project and execution zones.	complexType	0..1
