Migrate example build to CMake ?
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. CMake seems to make thing more manageable and modulo than plain make. Would it be benefit to migrate example building and adding an CMakelist.txt to src for faster integration.
Describe the solution you'd like
make BOARD= should still work as it is, the target will thin wrapper for running cmake with build-BOARD and execute make.
I'd rather use meson than CMake- a bit of a better cross-compilation story IME. But adding toolchains beyond MSVC, Clang, or gcc is more difficult. So it's not unconditionally better.
It's your call :D!
Thank you for your suggestion, to be honest, I wouldn't want to move a finger to change something that already works :smile: . Though recently both Espressif and RPi release sdk that support tinyusb, and both use CMake as build tool. I have already learned CMake the ugly way (mostly copy & paste from all over the places). Although It works for now, I get to know CMake better and would like to make the tinyusb integration more smoothly on those platform.
A quick google suggest meson is a better build tool though, however since I already know CMake and others are using it. I think the decision is more toward the convenience.
Well, at least cmake-microchip exists if a PIC port of TinyUSB ever happens...
Thank you very much for your pointer, that is great to know. Will check if I ever work on PIC port. Every silicon vendor should provide easy-to-use and easy-to-integrate cmake/make that just link bsp. mcu driver for user. Nah, I don't think they care :sweat_smile: :sweat_smile:
Vendors don't get their SVDs/register maps right. What makes you think they'll get the build system right? :D
@hathach, I've been working on this as I use cmake for all my projects. I've got it working, including support for generating tusb_config.h There are issues with the RNDIS support because of the dependency on lwip and lib/networking that I could use feedback for. I also have not integrated into the existing cmake example projects yet; that would be a future change dependent on this. Are you interested in reviewing a WIP pull request for this?
