Getting Started with xcdl
Work in progress.
By design, the xPack framework aims to automate:
- dependencies management
- build configurations
- component configurations
The first two are handled by xpm. The third will be covered by xcdl.
The details are still to be worked on, but the general idea is to stay as close to eCos CDL as possible.
Another distant possible source of inspiration might be the Linux Kconfig Language, but the concepts might be different.
As a first definition, in xCDL a component is a generic unit of functionality, that includes one or more related source files. These files share common configuration data (like preprocessor definitions) and are compiled using the same compilation options.
Install
xcdl is a npm package available from the npmjs.com public registry and can be installed via npm.
The simplest way to obtain the install command is from the web homepage. Just hover your mouse over the command, and a copy button will appear on the right side. Click it to copy the command.
For detailed installation instructions, please refer to the Install Guide page.
The xcdl project is currently in early implementation phase.
Compatibility notices
According to SemVer rules:
Major version X (X.y.z | X > 0) MUST be incremented if any backwards incompatible changes are introduced to the public API.
