Pull request for Release_1.1

SiyuanCheng-CN opened this issue · 2 comments

Hello,

I'm working on porting embARC MLI Release_1.1 to Zephyr RTOS as an external module and want to create a PR. Given the module porting guideline, it is said: "The module repository codebase shall include a module.yml file in a zephyr/ folder at the root of the repository"(https://docs.zephyrproject.org/latest/guides/modules.html#modules).

The module.yml file is very simple and won't break the source file in MLI:

diff --git a/zephyr/module.yml b/zephyr/module.yml
new file mode 100644
index 0000000..b84b5e9
--- /dev/null
+++ b/zephyr/module.yml
@@ -0,0 +1,4 @@
+name: embarc_mli
+build:
+  cmake-ext: True
+  kconfig-ext: True

Now I can't create a PR because Release_1.1 is a tag, not a branch. And I don't have permission to push my branch. What's the best way to proceed with that to port embARC MLI in Zephyr RTOS?

Best,
Siyuan

Hi Siyuan,
What you could do is create a fork and push your change to that forked repository.

@JaccovG our idea was to make embARC MLI usable as it is with Zephyr, i.e. so that we may have a couple of examples in Zephyr which use embARC MLI and all that be buildable in the same one flow.
For that to happen we need to "add" embARC MLI as an external module (think of git submodule) in Zephyr's build systems and exactly for that we need to have this zephyr/module.yml integrated in the embARC MLI.

That said it would be good to get that proposed change integrated in our embARC tree rather than be in some another stale fork of embARC MLI.
