lpc-pac-rs

This repository provides Rust device support crates for some LPC microcontrollers, providing an API to that device's peripherals using svd2rust and the SVD files from NXP. These crates are commonly known as peripheral access crates or "PACs".

Not every register of each device will have been tested on hardware, and so errors or omissions may remain. Please report any bugs you find, or open a PR!

Using Device Crates In Your Own Project

In your own project's Cargo.toml:

[dependencies.lpc546xx-pac]
version = "x.y.z"
features = ["lpc54608", "rt"] 

The rt feature is optional but helpful. see svd2rust for details.

Then, in your code:

use lpc54606_pac as pac;

let mut peripherals = pac::Peripherals::take().unwrap();

Refer to svd2rust documentation for further usage.

Replace lpc54606_pac with your own device; see the individual crate READMEs for the complete list of supported devices.

Generating PACs:

• Install svd2rust: cargo install --version 0.21.0 svd2rust
• Install form: cargo install form
• Install rustfmt: rustup component add rustfmt
• Install svdtools: pip install --user svdtools
• Unzip bundled SVD zip files: cd svd; ./extract.sh; cd ..
• Generate patched SVD files: make patch -j8
• Generate svd2rust device crates: make svd2rust -j8
• Optional: Format device crates: make form -j8

Generating lpc11uxx, lpc845 and lpc82x:

• Install svd2rust: cargo install --version 0.21.0 svd2rust
• Install form: cargo install --version 0.8.0
• Install rustfmt: rustup component add rustfmt
• Generate the PACs: ./generate.sh

Adding New Devices

• Update SVD zips in svd/vendor to include new SVD.
• Run svd/extract.sh to extract the zips into svd (ignored in git).
• Add new YAML file in devices/ with the new SVD path and include any required SVD patches for this device, such as renaming or merging fields.
• Add device in lpc_part_table
• Add family/device (if necessary) in Makefile > PACS
• Add family/device (if necessary) in scripts/makecrates.py >
• Re-run scripts/makecrates.py devices/ to update the crates with the new devices.
• Run make to rebuild, which will make a patched SVD and then run svd2rust on it to generate the final library.

Updating Existing Devices/Peripherals

• You'll need to run svd/extract.sh at least once to pull the SVDs out.
• Edit the device or peripheral YAML (see below for format).
• Run make to rebuild all the crates using svd patch and svd2rust.
• Test your new stuff compiles: cd lpc546xx-pac; cargo build --features lpc54628
