Greg,
I agree with your point here– that these files are another kind of data
sheet, and that it is ok to generate header files and other code from them.

I just added support for bitfields. It defines the _SHIFT, _MASK and specific
value definitions, as well as description as a comment. I tried to be clever
about when not to print obvious values and to maintain a reasonable formatting.
I think it works pretty well. You can see the output for
I agree with your understanding. I followed the same reasoning. If this data is
on a public datasheet, the header is indistinguishable from one manually
created from the SVD. Unless the text description of each register is considered
some kind of original artwork, but that could be even omitted
I just looked at that header and looks like a "no warranty" disclaimer. Does

I am not an attorney and not qualified to give a legal opinion. But that
has never stopped me before.

Both of these I also linked are far more restrictive:

TI is another example with further restrictions.

Hi,
I thought about doing
It seems really strange to me that the output file of a code generator tool is
something that would be within the scope of a license of the SVD file itself.
If I were to write that same output myself by hand what would be different?
Anyway, we can look further into the validity of that
Brennan,
Ah, I see. The data files all have their own individual licenses, yes, some
are not open source. Ugh.
Yeah, I wouldn't use a tool to generate it unless the data file was using a
compatible license...

They are not all Apache 2.0. The NXP ones are a mixed bag, some call
out BSD, some just liability disclaimer, looks like the example I gave
was not the best one.
For STM this file is restricted in a way that is not compatible.
Personally I think that is a mistake on the part of STM, but here we
Brennan,
All the files in this repo are Apache 2.0 licensed:

Doesn't that cover the license issue? The header is only a liability
disclaimer.

Just a warning on generating code from these files. Many of the have
explicit restrictions on using them which may not be compatible with BSD or
Apache. For example NXP

Very good Matias!
Indeed, registers definition is a boring part of creating a new NuttX
port, your tool makes it a breeze!

That's a great one!
Does it do bitfields? I gave it a quick try and I only got register
definitions.
Regardless, that could be a great time saver!

Matias,
This looks like it would be a lot of help bringing NuttX up on a new
microprocessor. Thanks!
