Rafael,
Ok, good to hear. I'm working on the following path (for the chips I'm most
interested in first):
1. Start with the PDF Datasheets (done with auto-downloader)
2. Identify the SFR table pages (currently manually, but ideally it would be
automated)
3. Identify the Config table page (currently manually, but ideally it would
be automated)
4. Use pdftohtml + perl script to convert the _facts_ stored in the PDF
tables into csv files (done)
5. Inspect and correct the csv files (manual)
6. Run yet another perl script to convert the correct csv tables into an xml
file for the part (not done yet)
7. Add configuration details + whatever else we want/need to the file.
8. At this point (if not before), the xml files will be under a different
copyright because they don't contain any thing but facts from the original
PDF, plus our customization (facts are not copyright-able)
9. Use the xml files to generate the header files for each part
10. Optional - it seems like a fair chunk of code for gputils could be
generated from the xml definition files if we do it right.
I do realize that xml isn't terribly popular with some people, so I'll
explain my logic on using it.
1. I'm familiar with it.
2. There are pre-built parsers that can be used with it.
3. It offers flexibility to change & grow without too much pain.
4. It can always be translated into something more suitable.
