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. Install the tool using Cargo:

   cargo install svd-vector-gen
   
   
   
   

2. Run the tool:

   • Ensure that the directory contains valid SVD files.
   • For STM32 microcontrollers, you can obtain SVD files by installing STM32CubeCLT.

   svd-vector-gen
   
   
   

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);
