Cmake/Ninja Build toolchain for TriCore TX39xx projects

Hello internet stranger - if you are here, it is most likely you are here because you need help setting up CMake & Ninja project for your beefy Infineon TriCore TC3xx microcontroller. Well, you are in luck since I have done most of the hard work for you. Feel free to use this repo as a reference to help yourself get started in setting up your toolchain.

Note: You need to use the proper Tasking compiler that you purchased because using the AURIX Dev Studio compiler will not work. Yes, go ahead and try - it will detect that you are running from the commandline and refuse to build. It can probably be overcome, but I dont have the time or patientience to figure it out.

Project dependencies

To run this project, the following must be installed and added to your PATH environment variable:

• Just, a cross platform command runner
• CMake
• Ninja
• Powershell (installed and available on all Windows systems by default)

Using Chocolatey

If you have Chocolatey installed, then run:

just install_deps

This will install the latest CMake on your system. You can Install chocolatey from here.

Command reference

Before you build

Before you build, if you change your project name in the CMakeLists.txt file, you need to update the NinjaCmakeTaskingTriCoreProject.elf in the justfile aswell! Otherwise, the post build scripts will fail. Editing a justfile is similar to a makefile, it should be straightforward.

Creating build.ninja

Run the command:

just gen

Building using Ninja (debug)

Run the following from root dir:

just build

Building release only:

just buildr

Building Debug & Release

Run the following from root dir:

just buildall

Full clean

A full clean will delete bin folder, Ninja files and all temporary Cmake related files.

just clean

Powershell permissions

Running for the first time, you might get powershell permission problems. Run just pwr_permissions to gain proper security permissions. Then you can run everything like normal.

Clang format

You can run just fmt to run the clang formatter, but you need to add clang-format.exe to your environment PATH, otherwise the powershell will complain.

Build warnings

You will see some build warnings regarding incompatible enum types for stuff inside the iLLD. I left this as is so that the project matches as close as possible to what AURIX Studio provides. Fixing these warnings should be trivial and is left as an exercise for the reader.
