See LICENSE.md --- -### Bloom Architecture - -Bloom is a multithreaded event-driven program written in C++. It consists of four components: - -- TargetController -- DebugServer -- Insight -- SignalHandler - -##### TargetController -The TargetController possesses full control of the connected debug tool and target. Execution of user-space -device drivers takes place here. All interaction with the connected hardware goes through the TargetController. -It exposes an interface to the connected hardware via a command-response mechanism. The TargetController runs on a -dedicated thread. See the [TargetController documentation](./src/TargetController/README.md) and source code in -src/TargetController/ for more. - -##### DebugServer -The DebugServer exposes an interface to the connected target, for third-party programs such as GDB and IDEs (GDB -front-ends). Currently, Bloom only supports one server - the AVR GDB RSP server. With this server, any AVR compatible -version of GDB (or any IDE with GDB RSP support) can interface with Bloom and thus the connected AVR target. The -DebugServer runs on a dedicated thread. See the -[DebugServer documentation](./src/DebugServer/README.md) and source code in src/DebugServer/ for more. - -##### Insight -Insight is a graphical user interface that provides insight into the connected target. It presents the target's -memories, GPIO pin states & registers, along with the ability to manipulate them. Insight runs on Bloom's main thread -and employs several worker threads for background tasks. Unlike other components within Bloom, Insight relies heavily -on the Qt framework for its GUI capabilities and other useful utilities. See source code in src/Insight/ for more. - -##### SignalHandler -The SignalHandler is responsible for handling any UNIX signals issued to Bloom. It runs on a dedicated thread. All -other threads within Bloom do not accept any UNIX signals. -See source code in src/SignalHandler/ for more. - ---- - ### Building Bloom from source > Bloom is typically distributed via binary packages, which can be downloaded via the
