Re: Which control version software are you using? //was Re: Poll: Which OS are you using to compile NuttX?

[David S. Alessio]

Hi, Simon, It addresses the problem of knowing exactly what version of NuttX is running on a platform.  This problem often occurs, when in testing or deployment, one discovers a problem which may or may not have already been fixed.  If you knew the version you’re running and the problem has been fixed, you’d be able to easily cherry-pick the fix… The script (gen_gitrev.sh) is attached (slightly later version than last checked into orig NuttX.org repo) and should reside in in the nuttx/tools subdir. I can create a patch and pull request if needed, but in the meantime see attached. The /tools/Makefile.unix needs one line added to the .version: recipe to call the script: # [Re-]create .version if it doesn't already exist. $(TOPDIR)/.version: $(Q) echo "Create .version" $(Q) tools/version.sh -s $(CONFIG_VERSION_STRING) -v $(CONFIG_VERSION_MAJOR).$(CONFIG_VERSION_MINOR) -b $(CONFIG_VERSION_BUILD) .version $(Q) tools/gen_gitrev.sh -t $(TOPDIR) -f .version $(Q) chmod 755 .version Then modify procfsversion.c: if (filep->f_pos == 0)     { #ifdef CONFIG_GIT_REVISION_STR       linesize = snprintf(attr->line, VERSION_LINELEN,                           "NuttX version %s %s\n"                           "%s\n",                           CONFIG_VERSION_STRING, CONFIG_VERSION_BUILD,                           CONFIG_GIT_REVISION_STR); #elif defined(__DATE__) && defined(__TIME__)       linesize = snprintf(attr->line, VERSION_LINELEN,                           "NuttX version %s %s %s %s\n",                           CONFIG_VERSION_STRING, CONFIG_VERSION_BUILD,                           __DATE__, __TIME__); #else       linesize = snprintf(attr->line, VERSION_LINELEN,                           "NuttX version %s %s\n",                           CONFIG_VERSION_STRING, CONFIG_VERSION_BUILD); #endif Finally, in a NuttX prompt: cat /proc/version will produce something like this: Blade-v1-2-gdf65129b4e+, master, topaz/dsa, Sat 25-Sep-2021 11:01:29 PDT Cheers, -david
