Containerised CI/CD LINFlexD_UART_MPC5744P Sample Project.

Single repo example to apply CI/CD to LINFlexD_UART_MPC5744P example from com.nxp.s32ds.e200.examples_1.0.0.201911111358/Examples for the DEVKIT-MPC5744P

GitHub Actions Build Status::

This repository is a single repo example combining:

• powerpc-eabivle-gcc-dockerfiles
• nxp-devkit-mpc57xx-docker examples
• Github Actions

Usage:

GitHub Actions CI/CD Workflow:

1. Fork the repository.
2. Edit some things.
3. Push to GitHub.
4. Check GitHub Actions tab for build results/failures.

Example Description

• The Example uses LINFlexD_1 to communicate over serial. (19200 baud rate, 8N1)
• Connects USB to PC.
• Sends a string to the computer terminal.

Message should read:

This is the DEVKIT-MPC5744P UART test.  If you see this in your PC terminal, test was successful.

Why DevOps?

• Smaller code changes are simpler (more atomic) and have fewer unintended consequences.
• Fault isolation is simpler and quicker.
• Mean time to resolution (MTTR) is shorter because of the smaller code changes and quicker fault isolation.
• Testability improves due to smaller, specific changes. These smaller changes allow more accurate positive and negative tests.
• Elapsed time to detect and correct production escapes is shorter with a faster rate of release.
• The backlog of non-critical defects is lower because defects are often fixed before other feature pressures arise.
• The product improves rapidly through fast feature introduction and fast turn-around on feature changes.
• Upgrades introduce smaller units of change and are less disruptive.
• CI-CD product feature velocity is high. The high velocity improves the time spent investigating and patching defects.

Benefits of continuous integration-continuous deployment (CI-CD)
