build system #6

Open vmayoral opened 10 years ago

vmayoral commented 10 years ago

Each different embedded platform will have its own toolchain for producing binaries. Does it make sense to try putting together a build system for the most popular embedded platforms? Maybe an extension of ament?

I agree that we'll want to provide an easy out-of-the-box experience for popular platforms, development boards, etc. (e.g., STM32 Discovery boards, various Olimex boards, etc.), but at this point it's not clear to me which path will be the easiest to get there. I would suggest prototyping end-to-end first (a few times) and from those few prototypes, it will perhaps become more clear where the abstraction layers should be drawn.
