ecb - ecmc configuration builder

Features

• Use YAML to configure ECMC with ECMCCFG
• Support for data validation:
  • Rules are defined in a JSON file
  • Type checking (integer, float, string, boolean...)
  • Manage dependencies between keys
  • Allow required/optional keys and schemas/subschemas
  • Normalization of values (yes/no => true/false, "real" => 1, "virtual" => 2)
  • Typo detection by only permitting keys that match the schema definition
• Support for YAML variables (not recommended, just for backwards compatibility)
• Standalone command line tool with batteries included.

building

dependencies

• make, to build
• git, for version numbering
• (google test, for unit tests)
• (astyle, for code formatting make format)

to build ECB, just type:

make clean
make 

tested compilers

• g++ 8.5.0: does not work because of broken std::filesystem implementation
• g++ 11.5.0: works
• clang++ 18.1.8: works
• clang++ 19.1.7: works

testing

unit tests

# make unit tests (test_ecb)
make test
./test_ecb

# ecb debug version, disables compiler optimization
make debug

compare with python jinja2

The script scripts/compare_ecb_jinja runs ECB and Jinja2 on the same configuration and template directory and compares the output of both.

cd scripts
./compare_ecb_jinja yaml/pax1.yaml axis
./compare_ecb_jinja yaml/vax1.yaml axis
./compare_ecb_jinja yaml/openloop.yaml enc

please adapt paths in compare_ecb_jinja to fit your setup.
