The element /package/examples/example describes fully defined examples contained in the Pack. An example lists the files that belong to an example. The example itself and each individual file may refer to a condition that must resolve to true; if it is false the example or file will be ignored. The board element is used to reference to one or more board descriptions using the board vendor and name an example is targeted for. Each example can specify attributes listing related components using Class (Cclass=), Group (Cgroup=), Subgroup (Csub) and a Version (Cversion=)
Example
Grouping element for examples. No more than one such group can exist in a Pack.

An example section is used to provide the required information for accessing an example project contained in a Pack. All examples contained in the installed packs can be listed including a brief description. A selected example will get copied into a user selected destination folder. Based on the user selected environment the respective project file will be loaded. The ID of an example is the combination of the Pack vendor, the board information and the example name and version. Examples with the same ID are treated as a single example.

| Attributes | Description | Type | Use |
| name | Name of the example | xs:string | required |

| Child Elements | Description | Type | Occurrence |
| description | Briefly documents the purpose and scope of the example. The test can be displayed in an example selector. | xs:string | 1 |

A project element is a sequence of environment elements that describe the name of the environment and the project file to be loaded.
Example:
| Parent | Chain | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| example | /package/examples/example | ||
| Element | Description | Type | Occurrence |
| environment | Specifies the environment and project file with extension. | xs:complexType | 1..* |
The environment element describes the name of the environment and the project file to be loaded.
Example:
| Parent | Chain | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| project | /package/examples/project | ||
| Attributes | Description | Type | Use |
| name | Name of the required tool-chain (for example: uv, iar, etc.) | xs:string | required |
| load | Specifies the project file with extension. A path relative to folder attribute of the element /package/examples/example can be appended. | xs:string | required |
| folder | Specifies the subdirectory to be copied into the user's project folder relative to folder attribute of the element /package/examples/example. This attribute is used by example descriptions that support multiple tool-chains/IDEs, each stored in a separate folders. Note: for copying eclipse projects it is required that the .project file is located in the base directory and all project files are located in the base directory or in one of the subdirectories. In this case even common files are required to be duplicated. | xs:string | optional |
Example:
| Parent | Chain | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| example | /package/examples/example | ||
| Child Elements | Description | Type | Occurrence |
| category | Free form string defining an example category. A category can be used to filter examples in an example browser. | xs:string | 0..* |
| component | Group for defining the components used in the example. | ComponentCategoryType | 0..* |
| keyword | Free form string defining a keyword that relates to the example. A keyword can be used to search for examples. | xs:string | 0..* |
The component element specifies the Cclass to which the example belongs. This can be used to list all related components within an example.
Example:
| Parent | Chain | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| attribute | /package/examples/example/attributes | ||
| Attribute | Description | Type | Use |
| Cclass | Free form string defining an example class. Predefined values can be used as listed in the table Component Classes. | CclassType | required |
| Cgroup | Free form string defining an example group. Predefined values can be used as listed in the table Component Groups. | CgroupType | optional |
| Csub | Free form string defining an example subgroup. The type is described in Component Subgroups. | CsubType | optional |
