Naming Conventions

Naming Conventions

The Select a naming convention drop-down menu offers three choices. Table 3 summarizes the types of build tags each choice generates.

Table 3 – RCB component naming conventions
Convention	Description
SPM	Tags used by Software Parts Manager (SPM), such as the 12s tag shown above. This choice is provided for backwards compatibility so you can produce components through RCB with the same naming conventions as those produced through SPM.
RCB	A system of one-letter codes to indicate certain build options. The advantage is concise component names, but a drawback is the need to remember the codes. The codes are explained in Table 5, RCB build tag naming conventions..
Verbose RCB	A long but clear sequence of strings, delimited by underscores, for indicating a component’s build characteristics.

For more detail on build tag conventions, see Appendix C.
