Rohini RTOS Project Generator – Zig Dynamic Library (v2.1.0)

A Zig-based cross-platform dynamic library for generating ready-to-use RTOS project scaffolds. Designed for embedded developers who want to quickly bootstrap structured RTOS-based applications.

✨ Features

• Cross-platform dynamic library – build for Linux and Windows as .so or .dll.
• RTOS project generator – creates consistent directory trees and boilerplate source files.
• Configurable templates – choose project name, RTOS kernel, and optional modules.
• C-compatible API – all exported functions use callconv(.C) for smooth FFI.
• Structured error handling – simple enum-based codes for robust integration.
• Lightweight and fast – minimal dependencies, ideal for build tools and scripting.

🚀 Build Instructions

📦 Example Usage in C

#include "rohini_rtos_gen.h"
#include <stdio.h>

int main() {
    // Create a new RTOS project scaffold
    int res = CreateRTOSProject("MyProject", "FreeRTOS");
    if (res != 0) {
        printf("Project creation failed with code %d\n", res);
        return -1;
    }

    printf("RTOS project created successfully!\n");
    return 0;
}

📦 Example Usage in Python (via ctypes)

import ctypes

# Load the library
lib = ctypes.CDLL("./librohini_rtos_gen_linux_x86_64.so")

# Define the function signature
lib.CreateRTOSProject.argtypes = [ctypes.c_char_p, ctypes.c_char_p]
lib.CreateRTOSProject.restype = ctypes.c_int

# Create a project
res = lib.CreateRTOSProject(b"MyProject", b"FreeRTOS")
if res == 0:
    print("RTOS project created successfully!")
else:
    print(f"Failed with error code {res}")
