- removing redundancy as discussed in PR #2087:
- in target.json the core option can have only this values : "Cortex-M0", "Cortex-M0+", "Cortex-M1", "Cortex-M3", "Cortex-M4", "Cortex-M7", "Cortex-A9" - Cortex-M4F and Cortex-M7F removed
- in target.json an additional fpu option with values: "single" and "double" can be used
- build and export scripts are changed to handle this
- tested (compiling, running on hardware) with nucleo_f767 (cortex-m7 with double precision fpu), nucleo_f746 (cortex-m7 with single precision fpu), nucleo_f446 and nucleo_l467 (cortex-m4 with single precision fpu), teensy31 (cortex-m4 without fpu - only build test), nucleo_l073 (cortex-m0)
- singletest results are added to PR #2087 comments
- creating new core name Cortex_M7F_DP for a target with a double precision fpu
- adding new core name to arm.py to set compiler/linker flags to a double precision fpu when configured in target.json
- up to now: gcc wrote flag for a double precision fpu -> target with STM32F746 didn't run when using double variables - mcu has only single precision fpu
- changing gcc.py to use single precision for Cortex-M7 und double precision for Cortex_M7F_DP
tested with NUCLEO_F746, NUCLEO_F767 and build.py+make.py and exporting with project.py + compiling/flashing
- iar.py need a similar extention - I didn't change that yet because
- did not run at the moment - python exception
- currently worked on in PR #1948
libpath is not required for exporters, as they provide default paths.
This caused problems when paths are not correct for mbed tools, a project
fails to build as path is not found.
ARM and GNU compilers currently are in a mode where they will accept VLAs
in C++ as an extension. IAR does not accept them in C++.
Avoid potential portability surprises by making GCC warn, and
deactivating the extension in ArmCC.
This commit uses the previously introduced feature of generating
configuration data as a C header file rather than as command line macro
definitions. Each toolchain was modified to use prefix headers if
requested, and build_api.py was modified to set up the toolchain's
prefix header content using the data generated by the config system.
Tested by compiling blinky for GCC and ARMCC. I'm having a few issues
with my IAR license currently, but both ARMCC and IAR use the same
`--preinclude` option for prefix headers, so this shouldn't be an issue.
Note that at the moment all exporters still use the previous
configuration data mechanism (individual macro definitions as opposed to
a prefix header). Exporters will be updated in one or more PRs that will
follow.
