Add ARMC6 support for uvision/uvision5 #504

Closed mbrossard closed 1 year ago

mbrossard commented 1 year ago

Fixes #447

The handling of scatter files is still complicated because you need to replace

#! armcc -E

by something like:

#! armclang --target=arm-arm-none-eabi -march=armv7-m -E -x c

Meaning you need two otherwise identical scatter files to support uvision with ARMC5 and ARMC6 (and a third one if you want to support make_armclang).

Hi, sorry for the delay, reviewing everything now

As added information, for DAPLink, this is the kind of changes I did to support uvision_armc6:

https://github.com/ARMmbed/DAPLink/commit/9b03040b88afc735824ec66065cf5d3253303281: we have our own uvision.uvproj.tmpl and I ended up having to switch the optimization level.
https://github.com/ARMmbed/DAPLink/commit/7c733cd7ab040503723eb09f115baa946156b360: as mentioned in the PR, the .sct file needs to have a different pre-processing directive.
