SVD Vector and Linker Script Generator

This tool scans the current directory for ARM Cortex-M compatible SVD files and automatically generates:

1. Vector Table File (vector_<mcu>.txt):

   • Contains the vector table for the specified microcontroller with system exceptions and interrupt handlers.
   • Format: A static VECTOR_TABLE Rust array with Option<unsafe fn()> entries for each vector, including system handlers and IRQs.

2. Device-Specific Linker Script (device_<mcu>.x):

   • Defines PROVIDE entries for all interrupts as:

     PROVIDE(<IRQ_NAME> = default_handler);
     

     This facilitates linking during firmware development.

Usage

1. Place your SVD files in the project directory.
2. Run the program using:

   cargo run
   
   
   

3. The tool generates:
   • vector_<mcu>.txt: Contains the vector table for each SVD file, including system exceptions and interrupt handlers.
   • device_<mcu>.x: Linker script with PROVIDE entries for IRQs, such as:

     PROVIDE(WWDG = default_handler);
     PROVIDE(PVD = default_handler);
     PROVIDE(TAMPER = default_handler);
     
     

Example

For STM32F303X.svd:

1. Generated Files:
   • vector_STM32F303X.txt: Contains the vector table.
   • device_STM32F303X.x: Contains the linker script:

     PROVIDE(WWDG = default_handler);
     PROVIDE(PVD = default_handler);
     PROVIDE(TAMPER = default_handler);
     ...
