Kazoo is a part of the TASTE toolchain responsible for generating code and build scripts from AADL models.

Overview

Kazoo is a a command line tool which processes input AADL models and produces derived models, code and scripts used to build complete system. It facilitates Ocarina for AADL parsing and templates-parser for templates processing and files generation. Standard library of components used by templates is defined by TASTE common models from ocarina_components.aadl file, which includes supported processors, devices, drivers etc. Generated build scripts apart from calling code compilers also run other tools like ocarina and aadl2glueC to create rest of the source code.

Installation and updating

Updating sources

To update kazoo run the following commands in the terminal:

$ cd ~/tool-src/kazoo
$ git checkout master

When command succeeds, kazoo needs to be rebuild to complete installation.

Rebuilding from source

To build kazoo from sources so run the following commands in the terminal:

$ cd ~/tool-src/kazoo
$ make install

Using kazoo

Kazoo is a command line tool, executed from terminal and configured by a list o parameters.

Basic usage

Run the following commands in the terminal.

$ kazoo --output=out --gw --glue --polyorb-hi-c

Kazoo will read the default input AADL models and generate code to the selected output directory. Parameter --output chooses the output directory for generated files (out), --gw enables models and code skeletons generation, --glue enables glue code generation and --polyorb-hi-c turns on use of PolyORB-HI-C runtime.

In the result directory out will be created and filled with generated models and source files.

To build the generated system run following commands in the terminal:

$ cd out
$ make

The output binary files will be located in the directory out/binaries.

Kazoo example

Kazoo comes with a lot of helpful examples.The examples are located in the directory /home/taste/tool-src/kazoo/test/. Every example project contains Makefile, which simplifies the process of the build. For an example, to build project Demo_C run following commands in the terminal:

$ cd /home/taste/tool-src/kazoo/test/Demo_C
$ make

Kazoo help

To obtain complete list of kazoo parameters and options type kazoo --help.

Input files

Kazoo used default TASTE AADL models as input:

  • InterfaceView.aadl
  • DeploymentView.aadl
  • DataView.aadl
    Derived files:
    • DataView.asn
    • DataView.acn

New templates for kazoo

To create new set of templates to be used by kazoo copy existing template subdirectory:

$ cd /home/taste/tool-src/kazoo/templates/concurrency_view
$ cp -r aadl_2_threads <new subdirectory>

Edit newly created templates and rebuild kazoo. For more details see note about adding new target to TASTE.

Code generation

Kazoo uses provided models to generate four major three of the final system implementation:

  • Code skeletons - for actual implementation of functions and their provided interfaces;
  • Glue code - the source code responsible for exchanging parameters and results between interfaces according to DataView.aadl;
  • Build script - script responsible for final step of code generation and compilation.

Build script

Build script is a single file named build-script.sh which is generated from build-script.tmplt template file. The template files: build-script-gen.tmplt, build-script-func.tmplt and build-script-zip.tmplt are evaluated earlier, and their output is passed to main template as parameters.

Code skeletons

Kazoo skeletons templates are processed according to the following algorithm presented in pseudocode:

for every function from InterfaceView:
    for every subdirectory
        evaluate template trigger.tmplt
        if result is equal to “TRUE” then
            evaluate template function-filename.tmplt if exists
            evaluate template makefile-filename.tmplt if exists
            evaluate template interface.tmplt for required interfaces of function
            evaluate template interface.tmplt for provided interfaces of function
            evaluate template makefile.tmplt and optionally save output to file
            evaluate template function.tmplt and optionally save output to file
    if function has context parameters then
        evaluate template context_parameters.tmplt and save the output to file

Glue code

Kazoo glue templates are processed according to the following algorithm presented in pseudocode:

for every function from InterfaceView:
    for every subdirectory
        evaluate template trigger.tmplt
        if result is equal to “TRUE” then
            evaluate template function-filename.tmplt if exists
            evaluate template makefile-filename.tmplt if exists
            evaluate template interface.tmplt for required interfaces of function
            evaluate template interface.tmplt for provided interfaces of function
            evaluate template makefile.tmplt and optionally save output to file
            evaluate template function.tmplt and optionally save output to file

        evaluate template filesys.tmplt
        evaluate template filenode.tmplt
        evaluate template trigger.tmplt

Under the hood

Kazoo uses Ocarina library to parse input AADL models. The internal representation of system consists of three major structures:

  • InterfaceView
  • DeploymentView
  • ConcurrencyView

The InterfaceView representation contains of list of functions. Every function contains provided and required interfaces. Optionally a function may contain context parameters. The InterfaceView representation contains also connections between provided interfaces and required interfaces. The InterfaceView representation is used to create skeletons and glue code. See Code skeletons generation and Glue code generation.

The DeploymentView constists of Nodes, Buses and connections between them. The Node contains Partitions, Processors and Drivers. The Partition contains a list of bounded functions. The DeploymentView is not directly used for code generation.

The ConcurrencyView is generated from DeploymentView. The ConcurrencyView consists of list of Nodes. Every Node consists of list of Partitions and list of Drivers. Every Partition consists of list of Threads. Every Thread has a list of assigned functions from InterfaceView.

The ConcurrencyView is used for generation of rest of glue code and also middleware integration. See Concurrency View generation.
