Workflow

To use libstored, this is basically what you have to do:

start :store.st file(s)/ :Generate store (by libstored's CMakeLists.txt); fork :C++ static library/ :Link to common libstored library; :Integrate store in project; :Instantiate Debugger instance, and build protocol stack; :Instantiate Synchronizer instance, and build protocol stack; fork again :VHDL package and entity/ :Include common libstored package/entities; :Integrate store in project; :Build store's synchronizer protocol stack; fork again :Documentation/ :Integrate in project's docs; end fork :Integrate on device; :Debug with Python client; stop

The resulting architecture of your application could look like this:

node "Microcontroller" { rectangle storeA1 [ Store A (C++) ] rectangle storeB1 [ Store B (C++) ] cloud app1 [ Application ] storeA1 -- app1 storeB1 -- app1 rectangle debugger [ Debugger ] storeA1 -- debugger storeB1 -- debugger rectangle debugstack [ DebugArqLayer ---- Crc16Layer ---- AsciiEscapeLayer ---- TerminalLayer ---- StdioLayer ] debugger -- debugstack note right of debugstack Any stack as required for you infrastructure. end note rectangle sync1 [ Synchronizer ] storeA1 -- sync1 rectangle syncstack [ AsciiEscapeLayer ---- TerminalLayer ---- FileLayer ] sync1 -- syncstack } () "lossy UART" as UART debugstack -- UART () "lossless UART" as UARTsync syncstack -- UARTsync node "PC" { rectangle wrapper [ libstored.ZmqServer ---- DebugArqLayer ---- Crc16Layer ---- AsciiEscapeLayer ---- TerminalLayer ---- libstored.wrapper.serial ] wrapper -- UART note right of wrapper The configured stack must match the one at the embedded side. end note () ZMQ wrapper -- ZMQ rectangle gui [ libstored.gui ] ZMQ -- gui rectangle visu [ libstored.visu ] ZMQ -- visu } node "FPGA" { rectangle storeA2 [ Store A (VHDL) includes Synchronizer ] rectangle fpgastack [ AsciiEscapeLayer ---- TerminalLayer ---- UARTLayer ] storeA2 -- fpgastack cloud app2 [ Application ] storeA2 -- app2 } UARTsync -- fpgastack
