NAppBuild is a Remote compilation utility that we use to generate NAppGUI on a daily basis (Figure 1). It is an application per command line, without a graphical interface, created in C and installed on a Raspberry-PI board. Every two hours, the administrator cron Unix launches nbuild which checks if there have been changes in the source code repository. If so, it will launch a new build on all build grid hosts.

Continuous integration server installed on a Raspberry-Pi.

NBuild depends exclusively on the library Core, except JSON, included in INet, as a format for data input/output (Figure 2).

1. Execution

1
nbuild -c [config.json] -p [profiles.json]
  • config.json: Build network configuration file.
  • profiles.json: Information on the projects to compile and on which platforms should be generated.

2. Configuration

File format config.json is the following:

4. Front-End

The result of each execution of nbuildit is saved in format json. At the moment, the front end of nbuild it is very simplistic, since it dips the content of the json in stdout. Although it perfectly fulfills its mission, we have planned a Web interface to organize the results in a more apparent way.
