Status: Uninitiated.
Introduction: Traditionally applications write their own configuration parsers. Users would benefit from having established and supported configuration solutions that they can import into their application.
Candidate configuration parsers:
The fields in this table are as follows:
- Project - name of project with hyperlink to it.
- License - software license used. May need to link to license text if dual-licensed or "other".
- Language - what programming language is this written in?
- Active - is the project active?
- OK w/RTEMS Static - Is the license compatible with a statically linked proprietary RTEMS application?
- OK w/RTEMS Technical - Does the code appear to be feasible to run on RTEMS? Does the code make assumptions that would render it unable to run on RTEMS?
- Notes - Anything else
Candidate | License | Language | Active | OK w/RTEMS Static | OK w/RTEMS Technical | Notes |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
libConfuse | LGPLv3 | C | 2012-02-21 / 2010-12-10 | TBD | None | |
liblcfg | GPLv2 | C (C99) | 2012-04-05 / 2012-04-05 | TBD | None | |
rudeconfig | GPLv3 | C++ | 2007-02-01 / ? | TBD | None |
We will need to investigate what are viable and license-compliant solutions.
Goal: Create a package that allows for users to import a configuration parser to use with their application. The configuration parsing code must comply with the RTEMS license. This project may also be related to ApplicationConfigurationGUI
Requirements: This project is mainly about integrating another project with RTEMS. Familiarity with RTEMS build system, cross-compilation, and the ability to create good documentation are all must-haves.
