This autocoder is designed as a Python library so it can be easily integrated
into other projects and provides fine tuning that would be cumbersome to do with
a command line. We also provide a simple CLI interface for the autocoder with a
much smaller space of possible generated code, which can be run with
autocoder.py. To generate every FSW within a problem space given a config
file, use the build_all.py file.
sympy is used for some mathematics, but aside from that any relatively modern
Python 3 should be enough.
build_all.py uses the fsw/CMakePresets.json file and the build_config.json
file to generate different implementations of the FSW. The build_config.json
file lists out different available settings for the FSW, which can be modified
as needed. More compiler presets can also be added in the CMakePresets.json
file, and build_all.py will automatically run them as needed.
The script will generate one root directory for each semantically different file, which will include the following files:
*config.json - Corresponding attributes used to generate the code. This has
the same layout as the build_config.json file, but will contain the
array element used to generate the code for each entry
*fsw - source files including autocoded bits for the FSW
*build-* - build directories containing binaries for given compiler preset
