Subject: OKL4: Proposal for adding platform specific packages

 

Hello

 

During our platform-specific driver development it came out that it is useful to add a vendor specific BSP package to the system. Itself it is not a driver, so it cannot be handled like a driver as is possible with the driver definition interface in 'platform/<platform>/tools/machines.py', but it will be used by some of the drivers. Therefore I think that there should be a method to add packages by defining them in the 'machines' script. A possible approach is the following.

·       New attribute of the platform definition class:
    packages = ["package1","package2"]

·       Evaluating the attribute in 'projects/iguana/SConstruct', line 306ff:
if hasattr(machine, "packages") and type(machine.packages) == type([]):
    for pg in machine.packages:
        if type(pg) == type("") and pg[0] != None:
             ig_env.Package(pg)

I'd appreciate if this or a similar solution could be integrated in the build system.

 

Regards
