README
A source xPack with µOS++ Cortex-M definitions
Due to the CMSIS design, some Cortex-M architecture definitions are available only via the vendor specific device headers, so they cannot be located in the architecture package.
The project is hosted on GitHub as micro-os-plus/devices-cortexm-xpack.
Maintainer info
This page is addressed to developers who plan to include this package into their own projects.
For maintainer infos, please see the README-MAINTAINER file.
Install
As a source xPacks, the easiest way to add it to a project is via xpm, but it can also be used as any Git project, for example as a submodule.
Prerequisites
A recent xpm, which is a portable Node.js command line application.
For details please follow the instructions in the install page.
xpm
Note: the package will be available from npmjs.com at a later date.
For now, it can be installed from GitHub:
cd my-project
xpm init # Unless a package.json is already present
xpm install github:micro-os-plus/devices-cortexm-xpack
When ready, this package will be available as
@micro-os-plus/devices-cortexm
from the npmjs.com
registry:
cd my-project
xpm init # Unless a package.json is already present
xpm install @micro-os-plus/devices-cortexm@latest
Git submodule
If, for any reason, xpm is not available, the next recommended
solution is to link it as a Git submodule below an xpacks
folder.
cd my-project
git init # Unless already a Git project
mkdir -p xpacks
git submodule add https://github.com/micro-os-plus/devices-cortexm-xpack.git \
xpacks/micro-os-plus/devices-cortexm
Branches
Apart from the unused master
branch, there are two active branches:
xpack
, with the latest stable version (default)xpack-develop
, with the current development version
All development is done in the xpack-develop
branch, and contributions via
Pull Requests should be directed to this branch.
When new releases are published, the xpack-develop
branch is merged
into xpack
.
