Generating Software Pack

Some helper scripts are provided to generate the release artifacts from this repository.

CMSIS-Pack Bundle

The CMSIS-Pack bundle can be generated with

Cortex_DFP $ ./gen_pack.sh

Prerequisites for this script to succeed are:

Version and Changelog Inference

The version and changelog embedded into the documentation and pack are inferred from the local Git history. In order to get the full changelog one needs to have a full clone (not a shallow one) including all release tags.

The version numbers and change logs are taken from the available annotated tags.

Release Pack

A release is simply done via the GitHub Web UI. The newly created tag needs to have the pattern v<version> where <version> shall be the SemVer <major>.<minor>.<patch> version string for the release. The release description is used as the change log message for the release.

When using an auto-generated tag (via Web UI) the release description is used as the annotation message for the generated tag. Alternatively, one can prepare the release tag in the local clone and add the annotation message independently from creating the release.

Once the release is published via the GitHub Web UI the release workflow generates the documentation and the pack (see above) and attaches the resulting pack archive as an additional asset to the release.
