RFC: Example of how we might do board config

[dhylands]

I thought I'd throw this as an example for doing configuration.

[dhylands]

You can build using:

./build.sh --example http --features board-sensorweb

or

./build.sh --example http --features board-launchpadxl

Or you can add a line to Cargo.toml which says

default = [ "board-sensorweb" ]

although once a feature is set it can't be unset.

I would rather remove the launchpadxl specifics out of this repo and create a board-launchpadxl library for these. In the same vein, we would have a board-sensorweb library with code for the on board temperature/humidity and PM2.5 sensors (maybe we can do something generic for the PM2.5 one?).

So the dependencies would be:

cc3200-rs crate
 |
 +-- cc3200 examples (in the cc3200-rs crate)
 |
 +-- board-launchpadxl crate
 |        |
 |        +-- launchpad examples using on board sensors (in the board-launchpadxl crate)
 |
 +-- board-sensorweb crate
          |
          +-- sensorweb-firmware crate

What do you think?

[dhylands]

The v1.3 board looks like its going to be different from the next batch of boards (different LED driver, I2C port has moved, etc), so we should probably put a version number into the sensorweb board.

I'm assuming that your tree has the direction that the leaves know about things towards the root, and not the other way around.

[fabricedesre]

Yes, I tried to draw something similar to the output cargo tree
