I am trying to use cffi for compiling code written for TI's f28035 microcontroller. Then I'd like to unit test the code with the python unittest library. I need TI's cl2000 compiler instead of visual c++.
I've added the path to cl2000 to my Path variable. I'm using python 3.8. I've created a distutils.config file with the contents:
[build]
compiler = cl2000
I've reinstalled cffi with pip and I get the following error:
File "C:\Users\q73624\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python38-32\lib\distutils\ ccompiler.py", line 1013, in new_compiler raise DistutilsPlatformError(msg) distutils.errors.DistutilsPlatformError: don't know how to compile C/C++ code on platform 'nt' with 'cl2000' compiler
Is it possible to make cffi work with an embedded C compiler such as cl2000 ? Or is there a different approach to unit test C code written for a microcontroller with python ?
