Workspace
After you open a project from the welcome screen: sessions on the left, chat in the center, composer at the bottom.
Open a project
- Launch AutoC to the welcome screen.
- Click Open project and pick the folder that contains your configurator project (for example an EB root with
.project). - Or click a folder under Recent.
The title bar shows the project name. After the toolchain loads, Project in the sidebar lists the modules that are in memory.
TIP
If you opened the wrong folder, close the project and pick another one from the welcome screen.
Chat
Describe the goal in the composer, for example “set the MCU core clock to 160 MHz”. Expand a tool step to see its input and output.

The sidebar starts a new chat and opens knowledge and settings.
Detail panes
