Overview
========

The Configuration Tool allows developers to conventiently configure
the large number of options that are made available in the embedded
software that runs on Qualcomm Voice and Music chips. It structures
the configurations into a hierarchy of domains that helps users
understand the numerous options and configurations that are
possible. The Tool has the ability to directly write the
configurations into the chip when needed.

The options presented in the user interface of the tool are entirely
data-driven, which means each family of chips, and precise chip
versions, can have settings specific to that chip family or that
particular chip version.

The Tool streamlines the developers' workflow to allow them to modify
configurations, deploy and test very quickly.

This document is divided into a Users' Guide and a Programmers'
Guide. This former is useful to engineers who only wish to configure
Qualcomm chips with configuration data that has been pre-determined by
the OEM for a specific chip. The latter is useful for an engineer who
wishes to extend the capabilities of this tool for a particular chip
or to implement a different work-flow.
