MIStudio Project Structure
This page explains the basic structure shown in the MIStudio project tree.
Overview
MIStudio uses a project tree to organize the main parts of a project. The project tree helps users find project files, images, drivers, targets, components, and applications.
Understanding the project tree makes it easier to navigate MIStudio and understand where project resources are organized.
MIStudio project tree showing common project sections such as User Files, Images, Drivers, Targets, Components, and Applications.
Project
A project is the main container for a MIStudio system.
In the project tree, the project appears at the top level. The sections under the project organize the files, resources, configuration, components, and applications used by the project.
User Files
The User Files section is used to organize project-related files that are included with or used by the project.
These files may support the project but are separate from the main application screens.
Images
The Images section is used to organize image resources for the project.
Images can be used by graphics, buttons, displays, or other visual parts of an application when supported by the selected graphic.
Drivers
The Drivers section is used to organize driver-related project configuration.
Drivers are part of how a MIStudio project can communicate with external systems or data sources, depending on the project setup.
Targets
The Targets section is used to organize deployment or runtime targets for the project.
Targets help define where or how the project may be deployed or run, depending on the system configuration.
Components
The Components section is used to organize reusable project components.
Components can help organize project pieces that may be reused or managed separately from a single application screen.
Applications
The Applications section contains the applications inside the project.
An application is where screens, graphics, controls, and visual behavior are built. A project may contain one application or multiple applications, depending on how the system is organized.
How Users Experience the Structure
Users usually work inside a project by opening applications and interacting with the graphics, controls, and displays inside those applications.
The project tree organizes the supporting parts of the project so users can find resources, applications, and configuration sections more easily.
