Branching Scheme

This repository employs a trunk-based development: development occurs on development branch with short-lived branches that merges into it. When a release is met, for example a v0.3.2 release, a v0.3.x branch is spun of development and the release tagged. If this branch already exists, relevant commits are back-ported instead.

[!INFO] We don't literally stick to it as the pace is too slow to justify branching for each release.

Development is done towards development.

Working branches naming scheme

While we don't care how you name branches in your forks, we encourage you to branch not PR development from your fork, however, if you're a contributor working on this repo directly we strongly advice to name your branches with following format issue/99/short-kebab-case-name, where 99 is the number of issue you're trying to fix or address as enhancement. The work issue may be replaced by bugfix if you're fixing a bug, or feature if you're working on enhancement.

Developing with PAC changes aside

PACs used by HAL in this repository now reside in atsamx7x-pac repository. Crates are published from there to crates.io, and released versions are normally enough to work with HAL.

However, if you're in need to incorporate some changes related to unreleased PACs, own variants of PACs, or you fix broken HAL after svd2rust generated breaking changes, you have to:

  1. Clone the PACs repository to the directory one level above this one:

    git clone [email protected]/atsams-rs/atsamx7x-pac.git ../atsamx7x-pac

  2. Add [patch.crates] section to .cargo/config, for example:

    [patch.crates-io]
# This is example for one PAC kind, you may want to repeat for each you're using
atsamv71q21b = { path = "../../atsamx7x-pac/pac/atsamv71q21b" }

    or try to run:

    tools/patch-pacs

    [!WARN] Please don't commit this change!

    This feature is documented here.

  3. Make changes in there and (re)generate (in this directory; with Python 3 installed):

    pushd ../atsamx7x-pac
tools/pacs.py svd
popd
