-----------------------------------
Summary: newt - Run bsp scripts on Windows
Key: MYNEWT-527
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MYNEWT-527
Project: Mynewt
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Newt
Affects Versions: v1_0_0_beta1
Environment: Windows 10, WSL, MSYS2
Reporter: Simon Ratner
Assignee: Sterling Hughes
Now that the `newt` tool no longer runs commands through a shell, it is not
able to execute bsp scripts (`_download.sh` / `_debug.sh`) on Windows, where
`CreateProcess` can't run shell scripts natively.
A solution that works pretty well is to create parallel `_download.cmd` /
`_debug.cmd` scripts with just the following:
{noformat}
@rem Execute a shell with a script of the same name and .sh extension
@sh "%~dp0%~n0.sh"
{noformat}
And modify bsp.yml to use those instead, for example for `nrf51dk`:
{noformat}

At the very least, adding these scripts to the repo will allow devs to use
`newt load` and `newt debug` on Windows with minimal effort (in combination
with https://github.com/apache/incubator-mynewt-newt/pull/29).
How to best automate this is a question to the devs; perhaps platform overrides
in `bsp.yml` to specify platform-specific scripts?
