Re: [cdt-dev] Managed Core Build
|
Hi Liviu
The plan would be to eventually remove the old system entirely. I imagine this would be similar to the deprecation of CDI and replacement with DSF so it won't suddenly vanish.
Regarding migration, this is absolutely something that will need to be looked at before a new system could be made the default. I am not currently planning to reuse the toolchain definitions from the existing managed build, to avoid being restricted by the current APIs. If that remained true then any migration would need work from the toolchain integrator, both in creating the new definition and mapping/converting the options data. Some system could be provided inside CDT assist with reading the old options data & to provide a common entry point for project migration for all toolchains.
That said, this new system is at a very early stage so nothing is fixed yet. So if you have any thoughts about the migration path, or any other parts of this please share them.
Regards
William

When you say "fully replace the current managed build", do you mean removing it from the distribution? Or simply adding a new build system and preserving the old one?
GNU MCU Eclipse uses many of the existing features of the current managed build, and I'm not sure what the migration path to the new build system would be.
