West (Zephyr's meta-tool)
|
|
#########################
|
|
|
|
The Zephyr project includes a swiss-army knife command line tool named
|
|
``west``\ [#west-name]_. West is developed in its own `repository`_.
|
|
|
|
West's built-in commands provide a multiple repository management system with
|
|
features inspired by Google's Repo tool and Git submodules. West is also
|
|
"pluggable": you can write your own west extension commands which add
|
|
additional features to west. Zephyr uses this to provide conveniences for
|
|
building applications, flashing and debugging them, and more.
|
|
|
|
Like ``git`` and ``docker``, the top-level ``west`` command takes some common
|
|
options, a sub-command to run, and then options and arguments for that
|
|
sub-command::
|
|
|
|
west [common-opts] <command> [opts] <args>
|
|
|
|
Since west v0.8, you can also run west like this::
|
|
|
|
python3 -m west [common-opts] <command> [opts] <args>
|
|
|
|
You can run ``west --help`` (or ``west -h`` for short) to get top-level help
|
|
for available west commands, and ``west <command> -h`` for detailed help on
|
|
each command.
