Raspberry Pi bare metal project template

Purpose

Starting point to get something going quickly for Raspberry Pi 3B+ projects. It includes:

• A UART driver for printing debug messages.
• MMU configuration (required for enabling cache, so major performance boost).
• A Doxyfile for automatic documentation generation.
• Tests and the catch.hpp header file.
• A Makefile to run all of the above. It constructs a binary for deploying with or without a bootloader (_bl postfix).
• It includes a separate bootloader project as a git submodule. Run git submodule update to fetch the correct commit of it.

Setup

This project depends on the following tools to be installed:

• doxygen
• valgrind
• gcovr

Also, you might have to download the cross compiler here and change the first line of the Makefile to where you put it.

Building

1. Run make for building the project.
2. Run make doxygen for generating the project documentation in html.
3. Run make coverage to print coverage reports of the tests.

TODO

• \todo Add flashing/deploying instructions.
• \todo Add style checker and static analyzer?
