Notes

Updates from past week

DJ created issues:

  • Command to delete intermediate files #143

  • Command to list boards #141

  • Tool config data #142

Just to share - not high priority tasks.

DB: Need to keep separation of concerns for tools

RK: Need to bring the tools together - at the moment they’re a bit separated.

FR: csolution anc cpakcget should not be merged, but csolution should call cpackget service for listing the packs

RK: Did mark a couple of issues as “discussion done” as feel they are concluded. Please take a look whoever raised them - feel we should close.

FR: #86 - fine with me.

JK: Will be pragmatic initially - can revisit. Action is for people to look at the issues they raised.

Csolution demo

FR:

I guess csolution can handle several components from several packs with several generators ?

I guess the next step for csolution is to have the dependencies solver ?

this is also a good idea for debugging

at least now we know the context when the generator is invoked

LM: yaml file is input to the generator but called from component rather than project.

JK: Somewhere it needs to be clear the component that’s triggering the generator.

FR: Unique generator IDs across packs is very interesting.

RK: How is the workflow with NXP today? Is NXP exploring the generator feature as well?

DJ: Not yet. Have config tools that are able to deliver generated code. Tools are designed for Eclipse environment.

FR: Handled dependencies manually. Are you planning to include a dependencies resolver?

DB: It could be a flag in the convert command or to write it back into the yaml file. Think these are the two options.

RK: Get the point that there’s work to do here.

Release Plans

DB: Still in some internal reviews. Would like to align all the list commands with list generators. Would like to work over a project and over a solution with a given context. Check releases page on Thursday.

CMSIS Project Manager - priorititized ToDo list

FR: the problem I have with phase is when it is not sequential but concurrent : secure vs non-secure run in // but it is 2 zones with 2 sets of resources

FR: #87 - express preference for JSON

RK: Is yaml the right choice? Could we support both formats?

ED: Yes we can. More an issue of composing the data.

RK: Will make a proposal for the RZone data. There are probably conversion tools that are fairly simple.
