## Platform Filtering Preferences

Use the Platform Filtering Preferences tabs in the Preferences window to select which platforms are visible when creating new projects or build configurations.

### SBSv2 tab

Use the SBSv2 tab to select configurations for that build system. SBSv2 is the prefered build system for the most current SDKs.

SBSv2 Configuration Filter | Select platform build targets to be displayed for OS 9.5 and later when creating new projects and build configurations. BSF’s are gone in SBSv2. All build configurations (platform/target), including the built-in platforms (WISNCW, ARMV5), are declared in xml files in the \sbs\lib\config directory. Build targets include: armv5_udeb armv5_urel armv6_udeb armv6_urel armv7_udeb armv7_urel armv9e_udeb armv9e_urel winscw_udeb winscw_urel
