ACPLT/RTE example application project

This repository represents an example of an application-specific project build with the ACPLT/OV runtime environment (https://github.com/acplt/rte). It demonstrates, how the ACPLT/RTE core repository and additional library repositories can be combined with custom libraries to allow building the runtime environment with an application-specific set of libraries in one go. For more information on this project structure, please refer to OV's readme file: https://github.com/acplt/rte#project-structure

The included custom library demolib shows a really simple example of a custom OV library.

Building

The composed project forms a singe CMake project that requires the same build steps as the ACPLT/OV RTE core project. On Linux, this typically includes installing GCC, make, cmake, tcl, bison and flex and executing the following commands:

mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make -j 4

For more advanced build setups and building on (or for) other platforms, see OV's readme file: https://github.com/acplt/rte#building-acpltov

Development

When playing around with the demolib code and making changes to its OVM model file, you'll want to (re-)generate the C sourcecode templates as a reference for the expected C function signatures. For this task, the acplt_builder program is included in the rte core repository and build with the overall project.

So, after building the project once (or explicitly building the program with make acplt_builder), you can run acplt_builder in the project root:

export OV_LIBRARY_PATH="$(pwd)/rte/core:$(pwd)/rte/syslibs:$(pwd)/rte_fblib:$(pwd)/rte_fblib:$(pwd)/rte_field"
build/rte/core/acplt_builder/acplt_builder -f -l demolib/model/demolib.ovm
