pw_build#
Pigweed’s modules aim to be easily integratable into both new and existing
embedded projects. To that goal, the pw_build
module provides support for
multiple build systems. Our personal favorite is GN/Ninja, which is used
by upstream developers for its speed and flexibility. CMake and Bazel
build files are also provided by all modules, allowing Pigweed to be added to a
project with minimal effort.
Beyond just compiling code, Pigweed’s GN build system can also:
Generate HTML documentation, via our Sphinx integration (with
pw_docgen
)Display memory usage report cards (with
pw_bloat
)Incrementally run unit tests after code changes (with
pw_target_runner
)And more!
These are only supported in the GN build, but work is being done to bring these to Pigweed’s Bazel build integration.
