Overview

The KIELER Compiler (KiCo) can generate different code targets from models. For example it is possible to generate C and Java code from an SCT file. As a result KIELER has to integrate with existing development tools and practices for the C and Java world. In the context of embedded systems, the target device also varies heavily.

Therefore the KIELER Project Management (Prom) has been developed. It eases the creation, compilation and deployment of projects, when using models that can be compiled via KiCo. Furthermore it eases the creation of wrapper code, which is used to initialize and run the model. To do so, there are mainly three components, Project Wizards, an Eclipse Launch Configuration and so called Environments, which will be introduces in the following.

Prom Environments

Environments are used to set default settings for project creation and launching for different target platforms.

An Environment consists of

1. a unique name, that does not contain a comma
2. a related project wizard
3. data about a main file for the project
4. information about the target KiCo should produce from models
5. information for wrapper code generation
6. a list of shell commands which should be run as part of a project launch

Besides the name, all of these are optional.

The related project wizard is run as part of the Prom project wizard and takes care of the actual project creation.
