Resource handling #87

Closed ReinhardKeil closed 8 months ago

ReinhardKeil commented 2 years ago

We started to work on resource handling. A very first idea is here: https://github.com/Open-CMSIS-Pack/devtools/blob/main/tools/projmgr/docs/Manual/Overview.md#cmsis-zone-integration

fred-r commented 2 years ago

Great, rather than doing something specific for CMSIS-Zone can we say that we open the door for a solution (rather than a project because to me we are talking here about system configuration) to have several system configuration files ?

resources partitioning => CMSIS-Zone
system clock => vendor dependent : no format defined
pinout => vendor dependent : no format defined

But at least we have a placeholder to attach these settings to a solution.

The documentation is now reworked and the resource handling is here https://github.com/Open-CMSIS-Pack/devtools/blob/main/tools/projmgr/docs/Manual/YML-Format.md#resource-management

It is not completely spelled out yet, but closer to what we need finally. When time permits we can discuss it today.

We should decide:

could be an RZone file also in YML format. Can this format be auto-generated by the development flows that are used for devices. The SVD file format is closer to IPXACT (which is also XML). What is the best format for RZone?
Are we in alignment to use "Handlebars" (which has multiple implementations) as template engine technology?
What format should be the data model that serves as input to "Handlebars"?

fred-r commented 2 years ago

rzone file format: no strong opinion about YML or XML but we have some missing items to suggest
Handlebars : this is a "YES" for me
Feeding Handlebars with JSON is easier in my opinion because you "see" the data object processed by the templating engine directly

Even when the topic RZone has not been addressed yet, I'm closing this issue.

I believe we need to review resource management later this year in context with enhancements to linker script handling and the MPU support that is now available with CMSIS version 6 and the RTX implementation.
