13.2.1.3. niosv-app

Synopsis

niosv-app [OPTIONS] --srcs=<value>

Description

Generate an application or library CMakeLists.txt. Either an application (-a) or library (-l) must be created. The BSP directory (-b) is required when creating an application. Libraries are independent of BSP; they do not link directly with a BSP.

Usage

#Create an app project which links with a specified BSP
niosv-app -a=app_dir -b=bsp_dir -s=sources[OPTIONS]
#Create a library
niosv-app -l=lib_dir -s=sources -p=public_includes [OPTIONS] 

Example: niosv-app --bsp-dir=software/bsp --app-dir=software/app --srcs=software/app --elf-name=hello.elf
