This action installs a development environment with the tools described in the file vcpkg-configuration.json.
The tools are downloaded from the Arm Tools Artifactory.
Refer to CMSIS-Toolbox - Installation - vcpkg - Setup using CLI installation guide
for more information.
- name: Setup vcpkg environment
uses: ARM-software/cmsis-actions/vcpkg@v1
with:
config: "./vcpkg-configuration.json"
vcpkg-downloads: "${{ github.workspace }}/.vcpkg/downloads"
cache: "-"| inputs | default value | description |
|---|---|---|
config: |
"./vcpkg-configuration.json" | Path and filename of the vcpkg configuration file. |
vcpkg-downloads: |
"${{ github.workspace }}/.vcpkg/downloads" | Download folder for vcpkg tool artifacts |
cache: |
"-" (no cache used) | Create a cache with a key to store tool artifacts. |
The activated environment is preserved into $GITHUB_PATH and $GITHUB_ENV so that it can be used by subsequent steps. The cache is based on
actions/cache and improves workflow execution time.
github.com/Arm-Examples/AVH_CI_Template uses vcpkg to install the required tools.
https://github.com/ARM-software/CMSIS-FreeRTOS
uses vcpkg with a cache. As there are multiple test executions, the workflow execution speed is improved.
