Information on patch.xml workflow

I'm currently using SPC5Studio 4.2.1 (4.2.1.201607051420) and use it to develop on an SPC560B-DIS evaluation board. I noticed that edits I make to component files in the lib sub-directory are handily stored in regular diff format in patch.xml.

However, I would also like to edit files in e.g. the cfg sub-directory, so I manually created the following entry inside the patch.xml file:

<?
xml
version
=
''1.0''
encoding
=
''UTF-8''
?>
<
SPC5-Patch
version
=
''1.0.0''
>
<!--It is your patch repository, do not break your XML File.-->
<
files
>
<
file
componentId
=
''org.chibios.spc5.components.spc5hal''
version
=
''1.0.0.201607011046''
path
=
''component/cfg/halconf.h''
user
=
''false''
>
<
diff
>

#endif
/**]]>

However, these manually introduced patches aren't being applied once I recreate the component tree. Is there some setting/trick/... to enable this? Is my syntax wrong? Or is it plain not possible to patch files outside of the lib sub-directories at the moment? #spc5studio-patch

Hello robert ,

You can not patch a configuration file (cfg directory).

cfg file is a file generated from the GUI.

I2C driver does not exist on B Discovery (HAL & RLA)

HAL Side : i2c_lld.c should be created

RLA Side : i2c_lld.c should be created

we have a change request to create I2C for B Discovery

(i am writing a private email for you)

Best regards

Erwan

Hi Erwan,

It's unfortunate that the cfg files cannot be patched. The reason I'm asking is that I implemented my own i2c lld interrupt-driven driver but use the ChibiOS hal to be compatible. So far I haven't received your private e-mail.

Regards,

Robert
