Dear sdk developers,

During our development, more and more components are joining our sdk. It is necessary for the component sections recorded in yml data to follow a simple and effective naming convention, so that they can be well organized, identified and processed.

Here we provide the doc of Yml Data Record Component Naming Conventions, please kindly review and follow the rules in your future development.

New features update:

  •  SDKGEN-967Support to automatically hide doc files in Xtensa workspace

         Previously for Xtensa toolchain, developers need to use "hidden: true" in yml to hide documentation files in the                 workspace.
         Now generator can filter files by type attribute to bypass doc type file for Xtensa, which means files with .txt .rtf                 .html .htm .readme .pdf .Doxyfile .xls .css extensions will not be added into the Xtensa workspace.
