Created new SerialBufferBase as a parent of SerializeBufferBase (now renamed LinearBufferBase). (#4288)
* Created new SerialBufferBase as a parent of SerializeBufferBase. Renaming interface functions to be less confusing.

* Deprecating copyRawOffset. No direct use-cases in F' core.

* Make SerialBufferBase a true pure virtual interface.

* Changing Serializable to work with SerialBufferBase parent interface.

* Changing copyRaw and copyRawOffset to work with SerialBufferBase

* Updating documentation for SerialBufferBase usage

* Adding some documentation. Adding missing ASSERT in copyRaw. Fixing some bugs that new ASSERT uncovered.

* Renaming SerializeBufferBase to LinearBufferBase. Add a using declaration to maintain backwards compatability. Properly mark LinearBufferBase functions as override.

* Filling in the rest of the docstrings for the classes in Serializable

* Removing redundant virtual keyword on override function

* Applying clang formatting

* Incorporating PR comments

* Fix compile issues

* Bump version to alpha

* Format

* v

A Flight-Proven, Multi-Platform, Open-Source Flight Software Framework



F´ (F Prime) is a component-driven framework that enables rapid development and deployment of spaceflight and other embedded software applications. Originally developed at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, F´ has been successfully deployed on several space applications. It is tailored but not limited to small-scale spaceflight systems such as CubeSats, SmallSats, and instruments.

Please Visit the F´ Website: https://fprime.jpl.nasa.gov for more information.

What does F´ provide

  • An architecture that decomposes flight software into discrete components with well-defined interfaces
  • A C++ framework that provides core capabilities such as message queues and threads
  • Modeling tools for specifying components and connections and automatically generating code
  • A growing collection of ready-to-use components
  • Testing tools for testing flight software at the unit and integration levels.

Learn more about F´ key features.

System Requirements

  1. Linux, Windows with WSL, or macOS operating system
  2. git
  3. Clang or GNU C and C++ compilers (e.g. gcc and g++)
  4. Python 3.9+, virtual environments, and PIP

Getting Started

To get started with F´, install the F´ bootstrapping tool with:

pip install fprime-bootstrap

Then, create a new project with:

fprime-bootstrap project

See the HelloWorld Tutorial to guide you through all the steps of developing an F´ project.

New users are encouraged to read through the User Manual and explore the other tutorials.
