Overview ======== eCMD is the hardware access API for IBM Systems. It provides the user a consistent way to address hardware between system types and even across processor generations. The core of eCMD is a C/C++ programing API. Built on top of that are a cmdline, python module and perl module. Distros ============= eCMD will build for Linux x86, x86_64, ppc64 and ppc64le RHEL, Ubuntu, Fedora and Debian have all been tested and makefile configs for recent releases are included. -------- --------- ------ ↑ |python| |cmdline| |perl| | -------- --------- ------ | \ | / eCMD \ | / Code --------------------- Base | C Programming API | | --------------------- | | ↓ ---------------|--------------- | --------------- | eCMD Plugin | --------------- | | ------------ | Hardware | ------------ Building ======== To build eCMD you need to generate a makefile.config That is done via the config.py script in the top level To create: ~/ecmd$ ./config.py Writing /home/user/ecmd/makefile.config If config.py isn't called, you'll see an error like this: makefile.base:45: *** makefile.config not found! Please run config.py in ~/ecmd/. Stop. To build, then invoke make ~/ecmd$ make The make runs through 4 steps - creates output directories - creates any generated source - builds all source - runs simple build tests A build will take about 1-2 minutes Install ======= By default, the install is done into an install dir in your repo. You can change this by setting INSTALL_PATH before calling config.py ~/ecmd$ make install Documentation ============= Please see docs/README for instructions on how to generate API documentation License ======= See LICENSE
