cmake: flash/debug: refactor runner configuration
This commit message is a bit of a novel mostly:
- because the issues involved are longstanding
- as evidence this is not a capricious refactoring
The runners.core.RunnerConfig Python class holds common configuration
values used by multiple runners, such as the location of the build
outputs and board directory.
The runners code, first written in 2017-ish, replaced various shell
scripts that got this information from the environment. Avoiding
environment variables was a requirement, however. It's ghastly to set
environment variables for a single command invocation on Windows, and
the whole thing was part of a larger push to make Zephyr development
on Windows better.
I had a hammer (the argparse module). Finding a replacement naturally
looked like a nail, so the information that ends up in RunnerConfig
got shunted from the build system to Python in the form of 'west
flash' / 'west debug' command line options like '--board-dir',
'--elf-file', etc.
I initially stored the options and their values in the CMake cache.
This was chosen in hopes the build system maintainer would like
the strategy (which worked).
I knew the command line arguments approach was a bit hacky (this
wasn't a nail), but I also honestly didn't have a better idea at the
time.
It did indeed cause issues:
- users don't know that just because they specify --bin-file on the
command line doesn't mean that their runner respects the option, and
have gotten confused trying to flash alternate files, usually for
chain-loading by MCUboot (for example, see #15961)
- common options weren't possible to pass via board.cmake files
(#22563, fixed partly via introduction of runners.yaml and the west
flash/debug commands no longer relying on the cache)
- it is confusing that "west flash --help" prints information about
openocd related options even when the user's board has no openocd
support. The same could be said about gdb in potential future use
cases where debugging occurs via some other tool.
Over time, they've caused enough users enough problems that
improvements are a priority.
To work towards this, put these values into runners.yaml using a new
'config: ...' key/value instead of command line options.
For example, instead of this in the generated runners.yaml file:
args:
common:
- --hex-file=.../zephyr.hex
we now have:
config:
hex_file: zephyr.hex
and similarly for other values.
In Python, we still support the command line options, but they are not
generated by the build system for any in-tree boards. Further work is
needed to deprecate the confusing ones (like --hex-file) and move the
runner-specific host tool related options (like --openocd) to the
runners that need them.
Individual board.cmake files should now influence these values by
overriding the relevant target properties of the
runners_yaml_props_target.
For example, instead of:
board_runner_args(foo "--hex-file=bar.hex")
Do this:
set_target_properties(runners_yaml_props_target PROPERTIES
hex_file bar.hex)
This change additionally allows us to stitch cmake/mcuboot.cmake and
the runners together easily by having mcuboot.cmake override the
properties that set the hex or bin file to flash. (The command line
arguments are still supported as-is.)
Combined with 98e0c95d91ae16f14e4997fb64ccdf0956595712 ("build:
auto-generate signed mcuboot binaries"), this will allow users to
build and flash images to be chain loaded by mcuboot in a way that
avoids calling 'west sign' and passing 'west flash' its output files
entirely.
While we are here, rename runner_yml_write to runners_yaml_append().
This function doesn't actually write anything, and we're here
refactoring this file anyway, so we might as well improve the
situation while we're at it.

cmake: flash/debug: refactor runner configuration
This commit message is a bit of a novel mostly:
- because the issues involved are longstanding
- as evidence this is not a capricious refactoring
The runners.core.RunnerConfig Python class holds common configuration
values used by multiple runners, such as the location of the build
outputs and board directory.
The runners code, first written in 2017-ish, replaced various shell
scripts that got this information from the environment. Avoiding
environment variables was a requirement, however. It's ghastly to set
environment variables for a single command invocation on Windows, and
the whole thing was part of a larger push to make Zephyr development
on Windows better.
I had a hammer (the argparse module). Finding a replacement naturally
looked like a nail, so the information that ends up in RunnerConfig
got shunted from the build system to Python in the form of 'west
flash' / 'west debug' command line options like '--board-dir',
'--elf-file', etc.
I initially stored the options and their values in the CMake cache.
This was chosen in hopes the build system maintainer would like
the strategy (which worked).
I knew the command line arguments approach was a bit hacky (this
wasn't a nail), but I also honestly didn't have a better idea at the
time.
It did indeed cause issues:
- users don't know that just because they specify --bin-file on the
command line doesn't mean that their runner respects the option, and
have gotten confused trying to flash alternate files, usually for
chain-loading by MCUboot (for example, see #15961)
- common options weren't possible to pass via board.cmake files
(#22563, fixed partly via introduction of runners.yaml and the west
flash/debug commands no longer relying on the cache)
- it is confusing that "west flash --help" prints information about
openocd related options even when the user's board has no openocd
support. The same could be said about gdb in potential future use
cases where debugging occurs via some other tool.
Over time, they've caused enough users enough problems that
improvements are a priority.
To work towards this, put these values into runners.yaml using a new
'config: ...' key/value instead of command line options.
For example, instead of this in the generated runners.yaml file:
args:
common:
- --hex-file=.../zephyr.hex
we now have:
config:
hex_file: zephyr.hex
and similarly for other values.
In Python, we still support the command line options, but they are not
generated by the build system for any in-tree boards. Further work is
needed to deprecate the confusing ones (like --hex-file) and move the
runner-specific host tool related options (like --openocd) to the
runners that need them.
Individual board.cmake files should now influence these values by
overriding the relevant target properties of the
runners_yaml_props_target.
For example, instead of:
board_runner_args(foo "--hex-file=bar.hex")
Do this:
set_target_properties(runners_yaml_props_target PROPERTIES
hex_file bar.hex)
This change additionally allows us to stitch cmake/mcuboot.cmake and
the runners together easily by having mcuboot.cmake override the
properties that set the hex or bin file to flash. (The command line
arguments are still supported as-is.)
Combined with 98e0c95d91ae16f14e4997fb64ccdf0956595712 ("build:
auto-generate signed mcuboot binaries"), this will allow users to
build and flash images to be chain loaded by mcuboot in a way that
avoids calling 'west sign' and passing 'west flash' its output files
entirely.
While we are here, rename runner_yml_write to runners_yaml_append().
This function doesn't actually write anything, and we're here
refactoring this file anyway, so we might as well improve the
situation while we're at it.

avoids calling 'west sign' and passing 'west flash' its output files
entirely.

This function doesn't actually write anything, and we're here

cmake: flash/debug: refactor runner configuration
This commit message is a bit of a novel mostly:
- because the issues involved are longstanding
- as evidence this is not a capricious refactoring
The runners.core.RunnerConfig Python class holds common configuration
values used by multiple runners, such as the location of the build
outputs and board directory.
The runners code, first written in 2017-ish, replaced various shell
scripts that got this information from the environment. Avoiding
environment variables was a requirement, however. It's ghastly to set
environment variables for a single command invocation on Windows, and
the whole thing was part of a larger push to make Zephyr development
on Windows better.
I had a hammer (the argparse module). Finding a replacement naturally
looked like a nail, so the information that ends up in RunnerConfig
got shunted from the build system to Python in the form of 'west
flash' / 'west debug' command line options like '--board-dir',
'--elf-file', etc.
I initially stored the options and their values in the CMake cache.
This was chosen in hopes the build system maintainer would like
the strategy (which worked).
I knew the command line arguments approach was a bit hacky (this
wasn't a nail), but I also honestly didn't have a better idea at the
time.
It did indeed cause issues:
- users don't know that just because they specify --bin-file on the
command line doesn't mean that their runner respects the option, and
have gotten confused trying to flash alternate files, usually for
chain-loading by MCUboot (for example, see #15961)
- common options weren't possible to pass via board.cmake files
(#22563, fixed partly via introduction of runners.yaml and the west
flash/debug commands no longer relying on the cache)
- it is confusing that "west flash --help" prints information about
openocd related options even when the user's board has no openocd
support. The same could be said about gdb in potential future use
cases where debugging occurs via some other tool.
Over time, they've caused enough users enough problems that
improvements are a priority.
To work towards this, put these values into runners.yaml using a new
'config: ...' key/value instead of command line options.
For example, instead of this in the generated runners.yaml file:
args:
common:
- --hex-file=.../zephyr.hex
we now have:
config:
hex_file: zephyr.hex
and similarly for other values.
In Python, we still support the command line options, but they are not
generated by the build system for any in-tree boards. Further work is
needed to deprecate the confusing ones (like --hex-file) and move the
runner-specific host tool related options (like --openocd) to the
runners that need them.
Individual board.cmake files should now influence these values by
overriding the relevant target properties of the
runners_yaml_props_target.
For example, instead of:
board_runner_args(foo "--hex-file=bar.hex")
Do this:
set_target_properties(runners_yaml_props_target PROPERTIES
hex_file bar.hex)
This change additionally allows us to stitch cmake/mcuboot.cmake and
the runners together easily by having mcuboot.cmake override the
properties that set the hex or bin file to flash. (The command line
arguments are still supported as-is.)
Combined with 98e0c95d91ae16f14e4997fb64ccdf0956595712 ("build:

scripts: runner: use arguments, not environment vars
The various runners (flash/debug scripts) use environment variables to
take arguments. This is legacy behavior which is not desirable.
Use command line arguments instead.
Note: this leaves more general environment variables with publicly
documented behavior in place for now, for compatibility, e.g.:
ZEPHYR_FLASH_OVER_DFU, OPENSDA_FW, ESP_IDF_PATH, PYOCD_DAPARG
For example, when using dfu-util to flash arduino_101, instead of
setting DFUUTIL_PID, DFUUTIL_ALT, and DFUUTIL_IMG environment
variables, have the script invocation look like this:
python3 .../zephyr_flash_debug.py dfu-util flash \
[common arguments omitted] \
--pid=8087:0aba --alt=x86_app \
--img=.../build/zephyr/zephyr.bin
Make similar changes for other runners (openocd, etc.) and
targets (debug, debugserver).
To implement this in the scripts:
- have the individual scripts/support/runner/some-runner.py files
register their own command line arguments
- teach them to construct instances from arguments, not the
environment
- have zephyr_flash_debug.py request runners to register command
line argument parsers, and handle arguments
In the build system:
- add a new board_runner_args() extension function that board.cmake
files can use to add to the zephyr_flash_debug.py command line
- adjust cmake/flash/CMakeLists.txt to invoke with arguments
- add new helper include files for each runner (like
boards/common/dfu-util.board.cmake, etc.), which add default
options as needed and then add on overrides from
board_runner_args() calls
- update board.cmake files to use the new includes and extension
This implied some tweaking when using openocd to make the CMake string
escaping and unescaping work properly.

runners: remove dependencies from runners
Today, there is a build target is added for each runner: flash, debug,
debugserver, attach.
And those runners will have a dependency to Zephyr logical target that
is built before invoking `west <runner>`.
This design has some flaws, mainly that additional dependencies directly
on the target will not be built when running `west <runner>` directly.
That generator expressions cannot be used for the DEPENDS argument.
Instead, the build target `<runner>` will not have any dependencies, and
will raise a build error if a dependency is added to the target.
Due to how `add_dependencies()` work, this must be done as a build time
check, and not configure time check.
`west <runner>` will invoke a build before executing the runner, and
this way ensure the build target is up-to-date, which again removes the
need for a dedicated `west_<runner>_target`.
It also minimizes the risk of developer errors, as developers no longer
need to consider the need for adding additional dependencies.
If a custom target is part of the default `all` build, then it's ensured
to be up-to-date.
Fixes: Issue reported on slack.
