vil_edge_deploy

VIL Edge Deployment — ARM/RISC-V build profiles and minimal runtime configuration.

Overview

vil_edge_deploy provides structured configuration and build helpers for deploying VIL processes on resource-constrained edge and IoT hardware. It supports aarch64 (ARM64), armv7 (ARM32), riscv64gc (RISC-V), and x86_64 targets with three preset profiles (Minimal, Standard, Full).

Quick Start

use vil_edge_deploy::{process, EdgeTarget, EdgeProfile};

fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    // Build a config for ARM64 with the Standard profile.
    let config = process::create(EdgeTarget::Aarch64Linux, EdgeProfile::Standard)?;

    // Get cargo build arguments for cross-compilation.
    let args = config.target.cargo_build_args();
    // args == ["--target", "aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu"]

    // Get the linker prefix for .cargo/config.toml.
    let linker = config.target.linker_prefix();
    // linker == Some("aarch64-linux-gnu-gcc")

    // Serialize config to YAML for deployment manifests.
    let yaml = config.to_yaml()?;
    println!("{}", yaml);

    Ok(())
}

Compliance

• Uses vil_log only — no println! or tracing calls.
• Fault codes are plain enum variants hashed via register_str().
• process.rs exposes the create() constructor function.
