RTEMS ConfigKit?

Mentors:

Students:

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:

• ​libConfuse
• ​liblcfg
• ​rudeconfig

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

|} 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.

Miscellaneous Sections

As the project progresses, you will need to add build instructions, etc and this page will evolve from a project description into a HOWTO.
