libxr 0.1.1

A Python package for parsing IOC files and generating C++ code.

libxr is a Python package designed to automate embedded system development by parsing .ioc files and generating C++ code. It significantly reduces manual effort in STM32CubeMX-based projects.

🌟 Features

• Automatic .ioc parsing: Extracts GPIO, peripherals (UART, SPI, I2C, etc.), and DMA configurations.
• C++ code generation: Generates fully functional STM32-compatible code.
• STM32CubeMX & FreeRTOS support: Works seamlessly with STM32 and CMake build systems.
• Automated Git management: Initializes repositories and creates .gitignore files.
• CMake automation: Generates CMakeLists.txt for STM32 projects.

📌 API Reference

libxr_config_cubemx_project

This command integrates all other commands into a single automated process, including:

• Parsing .ioc files.
• Generating C++ code.
• Modifying STM32 interrupt handlers.
• Creating CMakeLists.txt.
• Initializing Git and setting up the project structure.

Usage:

libxr_config_cubemx_project [-h] -d DIRECTORY [-t TERMINAL]

Required arguments:

• -d, --directory (str): Path to the STM32CubeMX project.
• -t, --terminal (str, optional): Optional terminal device source.

---

libxr_parse_ioc

Parses the .ioc file in the specified directory and extracts peripheral configurations into a JSON file.

Usage:

libxr_parse_ioc [-h] -d DIRECTORY [-o OUTPUT]

Required arguments:

• -d, --directory (str): Path to the STM32CubeMX project directory.

---

libxr_generate_code

Generates C++ code from the parsed .ioc JSON configuration and saves an additional JSON file for further modifications.

Usage:

libxr_generate_code [-h] -i INPUT [-o OUTPUT]

Required arguments:

• -i, --input (str): Path to the JSON file generated by libxr_parse_ioc.

Outputs:

• app_main.cpp: Generated STM32 C++ source file.
• libxr_config.json: Stores configuration options such as DMA buffer sizes, terminal settings, and peripheral mappings.

---

libxr_generate_stm32_it

Modifies STM32 _it.c interrupt handler files to include necessary callback functions.

Usage:

libxr_generate_stm32_it [-h] input_dir

Required arguments:

• input_dir (str): Path to the STM32CubeMX project source directory.

---

libxr_generate_stm32_cmake

Generates CMakeLists.txt for STM32 projects.

Usage:

libxr_generate_stm32_cmake [-h] input_dir

Required arguments:

• input_dir (str): Path to the STM32CubeMX project.

---

.IOC file requirements

• STM32CubeMX: The .ioc file must be generated using STM32CubeMX.
• CMake: The project must be built using CMake.
• DMA: UART, SPI and I2C must have DMA enabled.
