F´ and CMake Platforms

Users can create platform-specific build files for the purposes of tailoring fprime for given platform targets. Any CMake toolchain file should work, but it will require a platform file created here to add target-specific configuration using the name “${CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME}.cmake”.

At minimum, this file can be blank, but more commonly there are included paths for “StandardTypes.hpp” to support. Build flags and other includes can be added in to support different compile-time options. In addition, these files can define CMake option flags specific to the build.

In order to create a new platform from scratch, the user can copy “platform.cmake.template” and fill it out to generate the new platform file. It will guide the user through the setup of this piece.
