Automate reporting of firmware build limitations by board

Open Hwurzburg opened this issue 3 years ago • 4 comments

Maintaining the Wiki list of firmware limitations has become untenable and mistakes and ommisions are easily introduced...we need a script that will generate a list, by board type, of what features are excluded and listed in a file on the server which can be linked from the Wiki.....running this script every other day or less frequently will be sufficient....we need this ASAP

@andyp1per suggests that the build server be enhanced to use that information to automatically select the configuration to match the current limitations list when a board is selected, making it easier to drop and add back features...

i think processing the elf file at the time we build to generate a features.txt for each build is the first step
