Description : a tool for decoding register values
bitfield is a small tool for decoding register values and inspecting
individual fields of a register.
bitfield is intended for use by programmers working on low-level software.
Users provide a configuration for each register which defines the
individual fields. bitfield then decodes provided hex values using the
configuration to print a readable interpretation.
------
I'm aware of the name conflict with #864358, though that bug hasn't seen
any activity in over a year. An alternative name would be "bitfield-decode".
I am currently working on tidying up the Python packaging upstream as
well as implementing a bunch of new features, so the Debian packaging
might wait until things settle a bit.
I am not a DD or DM, so would need a sponsor.
