How to Get Settings from Board Config Script

How can I access the settings from a board configure script inside an application? I'd like to use the script to configure PropWare::UART's default serial settings such as TX/RX pins and baud rate.

Thanks,
David

    You just need to use variables with the same names and the .cfg file variables with the hyphens replaced by underscores and prefixed with "_cfg". For example:
    int _cfg_rxpin = -1;
int _cfg_txpin = -1;

    When you load this program with propeller-load, it will patch in the values from the .cfg file before downloading the program.
