.mss File Extension

Developer: Xilinx Platform Studio

File type: Software File

You're here because you have a file that has a file extension ending in .mss. Files with the file extension .mss can only be launched by certain applications. It's possible that .mss files are data files rather than documents or media, which means they're not meant to be viewed at all.

what is a .mss file?

The MSS file extension is a developer file known as the Microprocessor Software Specification File which was created by the Xilinx Platform Studio (XPS). It is used to create software for microprocessors. The microprocessor performs the commands and functions of the computer. It is always integrated into a single chip which is installed onto the motherboard of the computer making it dependent on the software. The software file allows to customize libraries and identifies the input and output devices. It also includes program compilation and manages handler routines. It is used as input into the Library Generator, which creates a software library for an embedded processor instance. The Library Generation Tool configures libraries, device drivers, file systems, and interrupt handlers for the embedded processor system to create a software platform. MSS files define the software that can be used with a microchip created by XPS. Files in MSS format can be opened with Xilinx Platform Studio in Windows platforms.

how to open a .mss file?

Launch a .mss file, or any other file on your PC, by double-clicking it. If your file associations are set up correctly, the application that's meant to open your .mss file will open it. It's possible you may need to download or purchase the correct application. It's also possible that you have the correct application on your PC, but .mss files aren't yet associated with it. In this case, when you try to open a .mss file, you can tell Windows which application is the correct one for that file. From then on, opening a .mss file will open the correct application.

Xilinx Platform Studio

Xilinx Platform Studio is developed by Xilinx, Inc. and it is used by hardware designers for building, connecting and configuring systems easily; whether they are 32 bit RISC designs or other processor-based systems. This software features a graphical design view and wizard that allows users to be guided when it comes to creating customized processor systems in a jiffy. The Xilinx Platform Studio is often called XPS for short and it has the ability to configure as well as integrate IP cores with plug and play features. Using this software, developers and designers can already design highly-customized processors that meet the specific needs of a project such as real-time responsiveness, floating point performance, minimal power consumption, general purpose processing power and a lot more advanced processing abilities. This is also mostly used by software developers because of its ability to generate critical system software that includes Linux BSPs, boot loaders, etc. thereby ensuring that the development of OS porting and applications can be done without delay.

a word of warning

Be careful not to rename the extension on .mss files, or any other files. This will not change the file type. Only special conversion software can change a file from one file type to another.

what is a file extension?

A file extension is the set of three or four characters at the end of a filename; in this case, .mss. File extensions tell you what type of file it is, and tell Windows what programs can open it. Windows often associates a default program to each file extension, so that when you double-click the file, the program launches automatically. When that program is no longer on your PC, you can sometimes get an error when you try to open the associated file.
