Skyward Boardcore
Boardcore is a framework for developing and building missile software for custom boards with Miosix .
Miosix is a lightweigth OS for embedded developing which provides support for basic things such as Threads, GPIO, Time and many other. You can find our fork of the kernel here: skyward/miosix-kernel
Building is made with SBS, which was created to easily compile and reuse code for different boards.
Content
| Folder | What's in it |
|---|---|
| bin/ | compiled binaries that can be flashed on a target board |
| build/ | sbs stuff, not interesting |
| config/ | miosix external config (boards ecc) |
| data/ | configuration (barely used now) |
| libs/ | external libs (Miosix kernel as a git submodule) |
| obj/ | build folder, not interesting |
| scripts/ | some tools (e.g. script for flashing on the boards) |
| src/ | sources! |
| src/entrypoints | each file here is a 'main' |
| src/test | contains the 'main' of every test |
| src/shared | objects, drivers and other stuff written by us |
In the main folder you will find sbs.conf which is used to configure the build system.
Getting Started
Install Python, Git and Miosix toolchain. Also, openocd and clang-format are recommended for a better experience.
Clone this repo with the --recursive option and build everything.
git clone --recursive https://git.skywarder.eu/r2a/skyward-boardcore.git
cd skyward-boardcore
python sbs -vSBS will start building all the entrypoints. Depending on how many entrypoints there are, this operation can take several minutes. Once SBS finished, check the resulting message: if every build displays an OK message, pat yourself on the back - you've got things working!
What's next?
In the Wiki you will find some first-steps guides (configuring the IDE, building a firmware etc) as well as the coding guidelines and some best practices we adopt.
