First µOS++ scriptable build

Posted on January 22, 2021 by Liviu Ionescu.

In preparation for the future 7.x release, a major milestone was reached: the modularised µOS++ was, for the first time, fully built in a terminal, without Eclipse.

Scriptable builds open the way for adding unit tests to each package, which will help preserve the robustness of the project.

The preliminary version uses a simplified CMake configuration, that performs monolithic builds for all demo platforms:

• STM32F4DISCOVERY (Cortex-M4)
• STM32F0DISCOVERY (Cortex-M0)
• SiFive HiFive1 (RISC-V)
• Synthetic POSIX (user process on macOS/Linux)

The CMake scripts will be further refined; support for meson is also planned.

The test project is blinky-rtos, part of xpack-study-projects, available from GitHub:
