cosmicHAL
The cosmicHAL is a small and easy to use Hardware Abstraction Layer to improve development speed and memory safety.
A big goal is to make it as modern as possible by looking at some modern features of other languages to make it easier to use.
This started as a personal project aimed on learning how to program low level hardware and quickly changed to a bigger and more ambitious project.
The next step right now is to develop a good, quick and stable build system to speed up project generation, structure and management and also write an install script for such.
Future Plans
General System
- Developing a good, stable and quick build system
- Developing a software architecture/system to provide all the necessary files, tools and binaries
- Developing a lightweight package manager for drivers and libraries.
HAL features
- support for more boards and vendors of ARM Cortex-M microcontrollers
- More peripherals to cover
- "ready for production" device drivers for sensors, etc.
- memory safety
- general headers for different drivers (IMU's, Motor controllers, display's, etc.)
- In house developed RTOS (maybe a little bit too ambitious, but we'll see)
Installing
At the moment there is no easy install procedure but it is already work in progress.
Right now you just clone the repository and put all of the .h and .c files into your project source where you can include them.
Usage
Example to blink LED:
#include "stm32/f4/gpio/gpio.h"
#include "stm32/f4/delay/delay.h"
int main(void) {
// Initialize PC13 to output mode
GPIO_enable(PC13, GPIO_OUTPUT);
while(1) {
// toggle PC13 LED
GPIO_toggle(PC13);
// sleep for 1s
delayMs(1000);
}
}More examples to follow
