Subject: SVD -> header generator

Hi,
I thought about doing this for a long time and I just did it, wasn't
really hard.
If you're not aware, CMSIS-SVD file format is an XML based definitions of
peripherals and registers available in a given MCU. This is typically used
for debugging but it is quite useful for generating header definitions. I
wrote a quick python script that is able to generate register definitions
and base addresses of peripherals. It is based on
https://github.com/posborne/cmsis-svd which includes both the SVD python
parser and a really complete database of SVD files.
The tool is available here: https://gitlab.com/nuttx_projects/svdgen (be
sure to check the README on how to use)

Example output (the console output properly tabulates data, format may
look broken in the email):

Generate memory map:
$ ./gen.py -v Nordic -d nrf51 -p map -x NRF51

#define NRF51_POWER_BASE 0x40000000 /* Power Control.*/
#define NRF51_CLOCK_BASE 0x40000000 /* Clock control.*/
#define NRF51_MPU_BASE 0x40000000 /* Memory Protection Unit.*/
#define NRF51_AMLI_BASE 0x40000000 /* AHB Multi-Layer Interface.*/
... etc

Register definitions:
$ ./gen.py -v Nordic -d nrf51 -p RADIO -x NRF51

/* Register offsets
*********************************************************/

#define NRF51_RADIO_TASKS_TXEN_OFFSET 0x000000 /* Enable radio in TX
mode.*/
#define NRF51_RADIO_TASKS_RXEN_OFFSET 0x000004 /* Enable radio in RX
mode.*/
#define NRF51_RADIO_TASKS_START_OFFSET 0x000008 /* Start radio.*/
#define NRF51_RADIO_TASKS_STOP_OFFSET 0x00000c /* Stop radio.*/
#define NRF51_RADIO_TASKS_DISABLE_OFFSET 0x000010 /* Disable radio.*/
... etc

/* Register definitions
*****************************************************/

#define NRF51_RADIO_TASKS_TXEN (NRF51_RADIO_BASE +
NRF51_RADIO_TASKS_TXEN_OFFSET)
#define NRF51_RADIO_TASKS_RXEN (NRF51_RADIO_BASE +
NRF51_RADIO_TASKS_RXEN_OFFSET)
#define NRF51_RADIO_TASKS_START (NRF51_RADIO_BASE +
NRF51_RADIO_TASKS_START_OFFSET)
#define NRF51_RADIO_TASKS_STOP (NRF51_RADIO_BASE +
NRF51_RADIO_TASKS_STOP_OFFSET)
#define NRF51_RADIO_TASKS_DISABLE (NRF51_RADIO_BASE +
NRF51_RADIO_TASKS_DISABLE_OFFSET)
#define NRF51_RADIO_TASKS_RSSISTART (NRF51_RADIO_BASE +
NRF51_RADIO_TASKS_RSSISTART_OFFSET)
#define NRF51_RADIO_TASKS_RSSISTOP (NRF51_RADIO_BASE +
NRF51_RADIO_TASKS_RSSISTOP_OFFSET)
... etc

Best,
Matias
