Installation
pip install fprime-bootstrapRunning it
fprime-bootstrap projectIf you don't write code
I want to develop an embedded system project using the F' framework developed by NASA. When creating the architecture of my project, how can I establish a component-based structure, define interfaces, and manage message queues and threads with this framework? Please suggest a development flow using the modeling tools provided by the F' framework.
Repository: https://github.com/nasa/fprime. Follow the official instructions in the README of this repository for setup and execution.
Before starting, check which OS we are on and if the necessary tools (e.g., Python, Node.js, Git, Docker) are installed. Install any missing ones step-by-step according to this system.
Create a new, empty folder to work in. Do not touch any files outside this folder and do not delete anything. Tell me what you are going to do in one sentence before running each command.
Tell me what I should see on the screen at the end of each step. If an error occurs, I will paste the error message to you exactly as it is, and we will fix it together.
