This is a tool written in C which does basically the same job as regtools' headergen_v2, but using a new input format which is less verbose than XML. In the interests of simplicity it omits some features that regtools does support, like variant registers or the SoC selector stuff so it cannot completely replace regtools on the i.MX platforms that use these features. RegGen doesn't generate API macros like regtools does; instead these are expected to be maintained by hand, since it's arguably easier to do that way. Since RegGen has no dependencies beyond a C compiler it can be integrated with the build system without adding any new build time dependencies. This will allow generating headers automatically, which is a substantial improvement over running headergen_v2 by hand and committing the generated output. The RegGen tool itself is licensed as GPLv3+, but generated headers can be licensed as the user chooses. Change-Id: If18f9577f8f4df6e2c97c1665b725773dd5466f0 |

Build Your Own Rockbox
1. Clone 'rockbox' from git (or extract a downloaded archive).
$ git clone git://git.rockbox.org/rockbox
or
$ tar xJf rockbox.tar.xz
2. Create a build directory, preferably in the same directory as the firmware/
and apps/ directories. This is where all generated files will be written.
$ cd rockbox
$ mkdir build
$ cd build
3. Make sure you have mips/m68k/arm-elf-gcc and siblings in the PATH. Make sure
that you have 'perl' in your PATH too. Your gcc cross compiler needs to be
a particular version depending on what player you are compiling for. These
can be generated using the rockboxdev.sh script in the /tools/ folder of the
source.
$ which arm-elf-eabi-gcc
$ which perl
4. In your build directory, run the 'tools/configure' script and enter what
target you want to build for and if you want a debug version or not (and a
few more questions). It'll prompt you. The debug version is for making a
gdb version out of it. It is only useful if you run gdb towards your target
Archos.
$ ../tools/configure
5. *ploink*. Now you have got a Makefile generated for you.
6. Run 'make' and soon the necessary pieces from the firmware and the apps
directories have been compiled, linked and scrambled for you.
$ make
$ make zip
7. unzip the rockbox.zip on your music player, reboot it and
*smile*.
If you want to build for more than one target, just create several build
directories and create a setup for each target:
$ mkdir build-fuzeplus
$ cd build-fuzeplus
$ ../tools/configure
$ mkdir build-xduoox3
$ cd build-xduoox3
$ ../tools/configure
