Templates can be created using the generate-template-file command. The generate-template-file command generates module templates based on a module's default configuration. Templates can be generated both for modules identified by order number/firmware versions and for modules based on GSD. Generated templates can be in JSON or YAML format, depending on the extension of the output file. Read-only parameters will be added as comments.

To generate a template for controllers/modules, use

apax hwc generate-template-file --orderNumber <ORDERNUMBER> --firmwareVersion <FIRMWAREVERSION> --output <FILENAME>

To generate a template for a module based on GSD, use

apax hwc generate-template-file --gsdFileName <GSDFILENAME> --gsdId <ID> --output <FILENAME>
