Hello all, I order to keep the maintenance of - the scripts of - device files generation low I want to implement 2 changes. I also propose it as not to carry any legacy that is no longer needed:
1) For each device file aliases are added for mapping of analog pins to a logic sequence of numbers, so called 'JANSEL_xx'. I heard that the analog library for this is no longer maintained. Next to that there are no sample files that use these JANSEL aliases. In the scripts a lot of exceptions are handled - due to inconsistencies from Microchip - to create these JANSEL alias. I propose to remove the JANSEL aliases from the device files and simplify the script. 2) Currently the device files are only generated when there is a data sheet. I fully agree with this. However, the generation uses the number of the datasheets which is frequently changed by Microchip. We already removed the datasheets from GitHub since we could no longer automatically download them. The number of the datasheet is also mentioned in the device file. Datasheets can easily be found by just Google the PIC number. As to lower the maintenance of the scripts I propose to remove the datasheet number from the device file and from the script that generates them. Also the 'datasheet.lst' file could be removed since in 'devicespecific.json' it is mentioned if a datasheet is available or not. I am OK to keep the datasheet.lst up to date but then by removing the number of the datasheet. I also would like to remove the programming specification from this list since they are not used in the generation of device files. Let me know your thought on these proposals.
