I think, xml is the format of choice.
I made the same suggestion some time ago in the avr-freaks forum.
At that time, I thought it would be a good idea, to evaluate the
xml-database at runtime,
and I was told that this would be too slow.
But a code generator generating C code from an xml file should be the
best solution.
I have wrote some code-generators (xml to C) at work, using Borland Delphi.
Why do yet another XML tool, when there are some freely available:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/xmlstar
This is an open source project that is XML manipulation tools that are
command line driven.
For editing xml-files there are many good solutions, e.g. emacs or
oxygen or ...
There is something like xml-forms, too.
One problem is, that we cannot redistribute the xml device definition
file from atmel
without their permission (Jörn asked them for a permission and they said
no.)
Agreed.
Therefore it might be a good idea, to create an own format, that can be
filled from
the atmel xml file (well, to 95%) with a little converter.
Why? We would be converting from XML to C language, which will then be
included in the toolchain source code. We don't need to create another
format just for redistribution.
