Introduction

This SourceForge project aims to define and implement an eXtensible Component Definition Language (CDL) intended to configure and build complex, package based, multi-variant (multi-architecture, multi-board, multi-toolchain) embedded projects. It is inspired by eCos CDL and ARM CMSIS Pack. The primary projects to benefit from XCDL are µOS++ IIIe (as content for the components) and GNU ARM Eclipse plug-ins (as tools to manage the components).

Credits

XCDL was definitely inspired by the eCos CDL, and many concepts are borrowed from it, including large excerpts from the eCos manuals, especially from The eCos Component Writer’s Guide.

The XCDL Eclipse implementation also maintains a good degree of compatibility with the current ARM CMSIS Packs (v1.x). More CMSIS Packs features are planned to be integrated, so that XCDL to be a superset of CMSIS Pack.

Reference implementations

The reference implementation will include one or more Eclipse plug-ins as graphical configuration tools (part of GNU ARM Eclipse plug-ins), and several Python command line tools for non graphical environments (source code part of this project).

Although targeted to Eclipse, these specifications should not prevent other development environments to implement them, so, if needed, these specifications might be amended to make alternate implementations possible.
