1 MAA - Low Level Skeleton Library for Communication on Intel platforms
4 Library in C/C++ to interface with Galileo & other Intel platforms over:
12 In a structured and sane API with port nanmes/numbering that match boards &
13 with bindings to javascript & python.
15 The intent is to make it easier for developers and sensor manufacturers to map
16 their sensors & actuators on top of supported hardware and to allow control of
17 low level communication protocol by high level languages & constructs.
19 ### ENV RECOMENDATIONS
21 All of these are 'optional', however they are recommended. Only a C compiler,
22 cmake and default system libraries are technically required to compile.
25 2. python 3.3.x or 2.7.x
26 3. swig-v8 3.0.1 (swig 2.x will work but you will not be able to build node.js
27 module so comment out add_directories(javacsript) in src/CmakeLists.txt)
28 4. doxygen (needed to generate even python doc)
33 To install swig-v8 the swig-v8-git package from AUR is helpful.
37 NOTE: The **only** supported cmake build configuration is to have the build/ dir
38 inside of the repo/tarball.
40 *if swig-v8 is not in your default path you can try run cmake with
41 "-DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH="/path/to/swig-v8"*
49 Please fork the code on github and then send pull requests. Please avoid merges
50 in your forks. I will also accept patches sent in git style with signoffs to
51 brendan.le.foll@intel.com
57 *for node.js make sure that maajs.node is in the current dir and set export
60 Simple python html documentation can be generated with **make pydoc**, this
61 does not require the full doxygen/sphinx setup.
65 When the API breaks in a small way there will be a changelog listed here
68 * C++/Python/Node Enums/const names now do not contain MAA_GPIO
69 * Enum type declaration for C++ changed
70 * Python/Node get_version() -> GetVersion()
71 * i2c read calls don't use const char* and i2c write calls do
74 * All maa_ contexts now are pointers to the actual struct which is not
75 delcared in the header. The only end user change is that instead of
76 returning a type maa_gpio_context pointer maa_gpio_init() now returns a
77 maa_gpio_context (which is actually a pointer to struct _gpio internally).
78 * C++ API is available, use the .hpp headers and add stdc++ to the linker
80 * Initial SPI implementation is provided
83 * maa_aio_read_u16() -> maa_aio_read()
84 * maa_aio_read() now returns a uint16_t instead of an unsigned int
87 * First version with API considered 'stable'
