- restored assemble/compile_c/compile_cpp, except now they return the commands
that will run, instead of actually running the commands
- remove need_update_new, since it doesn't seem to be used anywhere
Support multiple commands per compile
Reuse _assemble() and _compile() for sequential and parallel compiles
Preserve compile(), compile_c(), compile_cpp() and assemble() methods functionality
Added --multibyte_chars option for ARM and uARM build.
This enables to use multi-byte character such as Japanese or Chinese
especially for string literal.
It should not be affected single-byte character set. Tested with
Japanese Windows environment.
- The final image is now generated at "binary" step, which is compatible with
the on-line build system structure
- The SoftDevice image is appended to the application code, resulting in a
single .hex image file
- Python is used for merging and generating .hex files using the 'intelhex'
module, no more dependencies on external tools
compiler, linker, assembler and binary command lines can now be modified
using the hooks mechanism. Also, '--any_placement=first_fit' linker option
is now used only on LPC4088 using this mechanism, in order to preserve
compatibility with the other targets.
Updated CMSIS DSP to latest version (CMSIS-SP-00300-r3p2-00rel1.zip)
Build system changes to be able to preprocess assembler sources before compiling them:
- GCC: use gcc '-x assembler-with-cpp'
- ARM: preprocess first, then assemble (two separate commands)
- IAR: added macro definitions and include directories to the assembler command line
Removed CORTEX_ARM_SUPPORT restriction for the DSP libraries.
Tested: LPC1768 with ARM, GCC_ARM and IAR, LPC11U24 with ARM.
build_api.py now support macros defined at compile time, so build.py and
make.py can be used like this:
$ make.py/build.py <options> -DMACRO1 -DMACRO2=VALUE2 ...
Initial support (activate with "-o analyze"). Not working well with IAR
for now (partially because of a bug in goannac++ which was reported to
Red Lizzard).
A new hooks mechanism (hooks.py) allows various targets to customize
part(s) of the build process. This was implemented to allow generation of
custom binary images for the EA LPC4088 target, but it should be generic
enough to allow other such customizations in the future. For now, only the
'binary' step is hooked in toolchains/arm.py.
