NAME
progen - generate and manage project files for embedded development tools
SYNOPSIS
progen [GLOBAL_ARGUMENT] COMMAND [ARGUMENTS]
DESCRIPTION
progen allows you to define an embedded project in text (YAML) files and generate IDE-specific project files based on the rules defined in these records.
GLOBAL ARGUMENTS
progen supports the following global arguments for all commands listed below:
- -v
-
increase verbosity of output (repeat for even more verbose output)
- -q
-
decrease verbosity of output (repeat for even less verbose output)
COMMANDS
init
-
progen init -p PROJECT -tar TARGET_NAME [-dir SCAN_DIR] -o OUTPUT_DIR [-v | -q]
Add progen support to a project
If you want progen support for a project, this is the command to use. It scans the repository for files and creates 2 YAML files:
- 1)
-
the main project file (projects.yaml), and
- 2)
-
a project YAML file
In the project YAML file, there are all sources/includes and other project-related settings which progen finds in the repository. This creates a valid progen project file if a folder contains one valid project. In the case there are many, this command can serve at least as guidance - edit and move the YAML file accordingly to a folder structure to split projects.
Arguments
- -p
-
project name
- -tar
-
target name for the project
- -dir
-
directory to scan (default: none; scan all in directory progen was executed in)
- -o
-
directory for generated files
- -v
-
increase verbosity of output (repeat for even more verbose output)
- -q
-
decrease verbosity of output (repeat for even less verbose output)
generate
-
progen generate -f FILE [-p PROJECT] [-t TOOL] [-b] [-c] [-o OPTIONS] [-j JOBS] [-v | -q]
Export defined projects
Arguments
- -f FILE
-
path to projects.yaml file
- -p PROJECT
-
name of the project to generate. If not specified, all projects within projects in projects.yaml are exported
- -t TOOL
-
tool name (uvision, iar, etc). If not specified, tools are checked in records (tool_supported).
- -b
-
build the exported project (note: not every tool supports building a project)
- -c
-
copy all files defined for a project to exported directory
- -o OPTIONS
-
toolchain options
- -j
-
number of concurrent jobs to use for generating projects (default is 1; not supported by all tools)
- -v
-
increase verbosity of output (repeat for even more verbose output)
- -q
-
decrease verbosity of output (repeat for even less verbose output)
build
-
progen build -f FILE [-p PROJECT] [-t TOOL] [-c] [-k] [-o OPTIONS] [-x] [-j JOBS] [-v | -q]
Export a project, then build it. Note that not all tools support building.
Arguments
- -f FILE
-
path to projects.yaml file
- -p PROJECT
-
name of the project to build (if not specified, all projects within projects in projects.yaml are built)
- -t TOOL
-
build project files for specified tool
- -c
-
copy sources (as it exports first, this is used for exporting prior to building)
- -k
-
clean project before building
- -o OPTIONS
-
toolchain options
- -x
-
stop on first failure
- -j
-
number of concurrent build jobs (default is 1; not supported by all tools)
- project
-
specify projects to be generated and built
- -v
-
increase verbosity of output (repeat for even more verbose output)
- -q
-
decrease verbosity of output (repeat for even less verbose output)
list
-
progen list targets [-v | -q]progen list tools [-v | -q]progen list -f FILE projects [-v | -q]
List targets, tools or projects
Arguments
- targets
-
list all supported targets
- tools
-
list all supported tools
- projects
-
list all projects the repository supports (requires -f argument specified)
- -f FILE
-
path to projects.yaml
- -v
-
increase verbosity of output (repeat for even more verbose output)
- -q
-
decrease verbosity of output (repeat for even less verbose output)
clean
-
progen clean -f FILE -p PROJECT [-t TOOL] [-v | -q]
Remove progen files/folders
This command removes progen-related files/folders. If progen generates data to various folders (for example, a per-project directory somewhere), this command will remove those folders.
Arguments
- -f FILE
-
path to projects.yaml file
- -p PROJECT
-
the project name which should be cleaned (removed)
- -t TOOL
-
the tool name (if not specified, tools are taken from tools_supported)
- project
-
specify projects to be cleaned (removed)
- -v
-
increase verbosity of output (repeat for even more verbose output)
- -q
-
decrease verbosity of output (repeat for even less verbose output)
