Re: Target Designer Automation Interface

Andrea,

CMI has nice features that can be certainly used, but like you said it is
undocumented, and I have played very little with it. Konstantin probably has
better knowledge of CMI and he posted some info about it in this NG. (Use
google groups to find infos)
If you need only to support few different hardware components in your images
then PnP approach is better then loosing time with CMI for solely this
purpose.

Regards,
Slobodan
