Hi Samer,

good timing, today we have pushed a stylesheet for this conversion to the community:

• https://git.digitalwerk.net/adtf3_open_source/adtf2_buffer_config_xml_to_adtf3_codec_map_converter

Feel free to use and collaborate in case you are missing features.

Maybe it will grow with an own convinience tooling but now it is possible with an easy xslt.

Hi Samer,

we do not want to generate a html or using an XLS stylesheet as "pretty-print".
We want to generate a .map file from .xml file to re-use in ADTF 3.x.

So you need a XSLT Processor (e.g. Saxon, Qt XmlPatterns) to process.
After choosing, please read its documnetation or ask google, this exceeds our supported range.

But let's give an example based on XML Patterns within Qt 5.12.4:

In this showcase we will transform the example buffer configuration xml file from Device TB 2.x:

• <DEVICE_TB_DIR>/bin/templates/CanConfigCodecExt/CanConfigCodecExt.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1" standalone="no"?>
<settings>
    <input channel="0" channelmask="0x3">
        <buffer name="RESULT_STRUCT" pack="1" timestamp="$FIRST$" delay="0">
            <trigger start_msg="ESP" stop_msg="Kombi" />
            <struct pack="1">
                <element name="s_FahrGeschw" signal="ESP.ESP_v_Signal" type="tFloat64" />
                <element name="s_AngezGeschw" signal="Kombi.KBI_angez_Geschw" type="tFloat64" />
            </struct>
        </buffer>
    </input>
</settings>

Then we need the XSLT Tool from Qt:

• <QT5_DIR>/bin/xmlpatterns

If you don't have a complete Qt developer package, have a look here:

• https://support.digitalwerk.net/adtf/v3/adtf_html/page_qt.html
• https://support.digitalwerk.net/adtf/v3/adtf_html/page_external_dependencies.html

It is very simple to use:

xmlpatterns <stylesheet> <file_to_transform>

This will dump the generated structure in console:

<mapping codec="CCC" version="2.00">
    <outputs channel="0">
        <output name="RESULT_STRUCT" delay="0" timestamp="$FIRST$">
            <struct name="" pack="1">
                <assignment>
                    <to>s_FahrGeschw</to>
                    <from>ESP.ESP_v_Signal</from>
                    <type>tFloat64</type>
                </assignment>
                <assignment>
                    <to>s_AngezGeschw</to>
                    <from>Kombi.KBI_angez_Geschw</from>
                    <type>tFloat64</type>
                </assignment>
            </struct>
        </output>
    </outputs>
</mapping>

To generate a file from the output we simple pipe it into a map file and extend the call:

xmlpatterns <stylesheet> <file_to_transform> > <file_to_be_generated>

In our use case (without paths to the files):

xmlpatterns buffer_xml_to_codec_map_conversion_stylesheet.xsl CanConfigCodecExt.xml > CanConfigCodecExt.map

And we are getting a map file which contains the generated structure and can be used within CAN Decoder in ADTF 3.x.

Hope this brings you into business, I will extend the documentation in gitlab about that.

Good, don't worry.
Main target is to have a solution.

Thanks also to have a first review and feedback on this new project !
