Meeting Notes

Issues for Review

#23

MD: The standard mixes identification and classification. Have usecases where need to associate information of the same level to a component. E.g. sensors - would like to associate two or more values for the same information.

RK: This would not change any semantics or dependencies - just additional metadata.

MD: Yes.

DJ: Created issue #94 to separate identification and classification. Believe identifiers should be as short as possible.

ME: Have a problem with idea - seems to be evolving into a standard for each customer. Don’t understand why to include information which can’t be standardised/shared.

MD: Cannot specify everything. Not everyone agrees.

FR: As this keyword is used for searching it can be silicon vendor specific including marketing terms for the vendor. Can only specify that there is a search keyword and you can do some matching on it.

ED: Can offer key/value pairs - then it would be similar for everyone.

MD: The idea is to share the same structure but not impose specifying the information.

RK: Strings are visible to the user and could be confusing. Do you need a hidden field?

DJ: For us - something used for development but it shouldn’t be public. Will discuss with colleagues.

RK: Accept Mark’s comment but believe should accommodate external development processes.

#82

FR: Agree with double approach. Need flexibility and reproducibility.

LM: Strong requirement from our team.

SH: Works well in combination with log file

#224

JK: Additional linker flag?

SH: C and C++ flags are not guaranteed to be compatible. At the moment don’t know if you should specify C or C++ flags.

#221

SH: Natural extension to provide same support in yaml files.

DB: Proposal has the assumption that the files are separated into project_1 and project_2. This may not be the case.

SH: Expect yaml files would be named uniquely even if in the same directory.

#220

FR: Would like to keep the flexibility. Need to lock the tools in the cprj for reproducibility.

DB: Interactive bash script isn’t supported by all platforms.

RK: All you need is the config files to add a new compiler?

FR: Are there so many compilers - can we specify them? Maybe it’s more the versioning.

CMSIS-Toolbox update (0.9.3)
