Question on cbSystemView - an SVD plugin
jimbo:
Hi all,
Been looking at this plugin to display SVD information. Have a question, since I believe the author (BlueHazzard) is present on this forum.
I see from the readme that there is a specific branch recomended, but that recomendation was from a year ago, and I was wondering if the 17.12 version of CB (or a more recent branch from the upstream repo) has the required changes or whether I still need to use the non-upstream repo and branch. I'll be taking a look to see if I can determine this from commits, but would appreciate official advice!
Edit: What's the best way to get the latest source for CB? I see that obfuscated has a git clone of the subversion repo from SF and since I prefer git (ages since I used subversion) is that a good approach to use, or should I just use the SF SVN repo?
Regards
Jimbo

No, the special branch is still needed, but i have not updated it since a while. I will try to bring it to a more bleeding edge state.
There are some tickets in the tracker to bringing the functionality to codeblocks trunk:
https://sourceforge.net/p/codeblocks/tickets/619/ and
https://sourceforge.net/p/codeblocks/tickets/543/

Thanks.
SVD support is a requirement for our proposed embedded microcontroller system, so having a standard plugin that works on a standard IDE is important. What are your expectations on this? Hopeful it will make it to the next CB release?

The memory watches stuff would probably be added to code::blocks, the pause related stuff probably won't and another mechanism should be used. Not sure when I'll find the time to review and push this stuff to trunk. :(

Struggling to get this working. Have built the required branch and plugin. I did need to comment out a line referencing cbEVT_DEBUGGER_CONTINUED, which makes me think the build isn't quite right, but I have set up the cb global to the correct directory on the special branch, so not sure where I have made a mistake.
I use --prefix on the configure to set up the new C::B in a local directory and run it from there, I'm wondering if thats the correct way of running a new build without overwriting the current installation. I do get some errors on startup which again makes me think either I am building it or running it incorrectly.
Get loads of errors on C::B startup once pluging installed, mostly unable to insert items in to a task bar, then it all dies.
