Setting COVFILELIST environment variable for performing QKIT coverage compare in CCS IDE 20.4 needs to use below approach.

While there is no way to set an environment variable within the CCS IDE, there is a workaround that can be used in CCS 20.4 where you can explicitly set an environment to the CCS build variable.

First set COVFILELIST:
To set at the Project Level (Specific Project Only):

• Right-click your project in the Project Explorer and select Properties
• Navigate to General → Variables
• Click the “+” Add button and add entry for COVFILELIST
• Click Save and Close

Then update the Build command to use above:

• Right-click your project in the Project Explorer and select Properties
• Navigate to Build → Variables
  Build-command mode Use default build-command and common flags
  Build-command ${CCS_UTILS_DIR|/bin/gmake
• Update to below settings:
  Build-command mode Use specified build-command and flags
  Build-command ${CCS_UTILS_DIR|/bin/gmake "COVFILELIST=${COVFILELIST}"
• Click Save and Close

This will pass the value of the COVFILELIST build variable set in the project properties to an environment variable that is passed to the terminal where the build occurs.

QKIT coverage instructions will be updated.
