SVD_to_D is a command-line utility that generates D code from ARM Cortex-M SVD files.
SVD files are XML files that describe, in great detail, the memory layout and characteristics of registers in an ARM Cortex-M microcontroller. See https://github.com/posborne/cmsis-svd/tree/master/data for a curated list of SVD files for many ARM Cortex-M microcontrollers from various silicon vendeors.
From the information in an SVD file, code for accessing the microcontroller's memory-mapped-io registers can be automatically generated, and SVD_to_D does exactly that.
For a large microcontroller like the SM32F7, the amount of code generated can be more than 100k lines. See an example of generated D code here: https://github.com/JinShil/svd_to_d/tree/master/examples/stm32f7x9
The code generated by SVD_to_D depends on this memory-mapped-IO library: https://github.com/JinShil/memory_mapped_io That library uses D's CTFE and meta-programming features to generate highly optimized code (for both size and speed) at compile-time with additional features such as type safety and compile-time-enforced mutability.
