Hi

I suggested the same with aliases in a private mail to Rob.

Make an announcement on the website that within 2 (?) years the old libs cannot be used anymore.

And maybe it’s possible to make a message in the compiler like: deprecated; use newer library.

Than you have for some time two libs: the old one with the aliases (for example spi_master_hw.jal and the new _one_ = spi_host_hw.jal).

Greetings,

Peter

What if you put these in the library header:

-- alias master = host in Microchip datasheet, please be aware

-- alias slave = client in Microchip datasheet, please be aware

 

A good practice would be that at the end of any project, ALL libraries, the used compiler, schematic, PCB, machine files ( gerber excelon), all components datasheet used in the project, source code (well commented) and the hex file to be saved in two different places.

Hi, how many files are affected?

 

Is someone offended by this? If someone is offended we can change it, else it seems like quite a lot will need to be changed and won't be backwards compatible.

Hi Vasile,

 

We can keep the older version on GitHub. Not all files on GitHub are part of a release, that is determined by the file TORELASE on GitHub.

 

On GitHub you also find a directory called 'Casualties' where some older stuff is stored but you could also just remove it from the release (after some time).

 

Kind regards,

 

Rob

This will not be a workable solution if you do not keep the old libraries at least in repository, even if you do not release them anymore. You don't know how many valuable projects are out there, is a real pain for new development teams to deal with old, deprecated firmware, written in an alien language that does not have support anymore... if you understand what I mean...

Hi Rob,

 

I agree that we should keep it in line with Microchip to keep consistency.

 

What we could do is the following:

  • Copy the current libraries using the new terminology, so for example spi_master_hw to spi_host_hw
  • Keep the current libraries for now but add something like _warn "This library will be deprecated, use spi_host_hw. In this way the library can still be used and it gives the JAL users time to switch to the new library convention. We could keep the old libraries for one release and remove them from the next release.
  • Modify all current sample files so they use the new libraries.

Would this be a workable approach?

 

Kind regards,

 

Rob

Hi guys,

Like similar changes in other places, I see in the Microchip datasheets that the terms 'master' and 'slave' are being replaced by 'host' and 'client'. Seems a positive and desirable change to me. I would like to suggest to follow Microchip in this for Jallib. I'm afraid this is not a simple operation. It is not only about file names, but also related 'includes' in samples. But it will also have effects on existing user programs!   What are your thoughts about this?

Regards, Rob
