open62541 Architecture Support
This folder contains all the architecture-specific code for different operating systems. The arch-specific code covers:
- System clock
- EventLoop (Networking, Interrupt handling (optional))
Currently open62541 supports
- Windows
- POSIX (Linux, BSD, Mac, etc.)
Previously (until v1.3) there was additional support for:
- freeRTOS
- vxWorks
- WEC7
- eCos
We strive to recover support for these. The main effort of porting is forking the EventLoop implementation.
Adding new architectures
To port to a new architecture you should follow these steps:
-
Create a ua_clock.c file that implements the following functions defined in open62541/types.h:
-
UA_DateTime UA_DateTime_now(void);
-
UA_Int64 UA_DateTime_localTimeUtcOffset(void);
-
UA_DateTime UA_DateTime_nowMonotonic(void);
-
-
Fork the EventLoop code (the default is POSIX) and adjust to your architecture
-
Add your architecture to the list in /include/open62541/config.h.in
-
Add the architecture and the new files to /CMakeLists.txt
You can also use a custom architecture implementation outside of the library build. For that, set UA_ARCHITECTURE=none in the cmake setting. Then no architecture-specific code will be included in the open62541 library itself. You have to link in your custom clock and EventLoop implementation only for the final binary.
