The chosen component isadded to the Linked Components list on the right. You can create a new componentfrom this screen by clicking the New button. Components do not have to be fully definedbefore they can be linked to a board; you can link the component first and go back laterto edit it. See Adding Components to the System for more information on linkingcomponents to boards.When all system data is entered, click the Finish button to close the System Wizardand finish creating the system. The hardware component used by the system is nowopened for editing. However, there is a difference when a hardware component isopened from the Project View rather than the Component View: the hardware is nowbeing edited as part of a hardware system and the user can link other components to it.You’ll see the difference when certain boards are opened: system-related controls suchas the ones for linking components are now enabled.P2512A, Rev.
