//! A complete ESP32-P4 toolchain in one build graph.
//!
//! zig build compile, link, and emit a flashable image
//! zig build flash the above, then write it to the chip over the serial port
//! zig build monitor open the console
//! zig build console attach an interactive terminal: keystrokes in, screen out
//! zig build size print where every byte of the image went
//!
//! There is no CMake, no ninja, no idf.py, no esptool and no external linker: Zig's own LLD does
//! the link, and the image builder and flasher are ordinary Zig code (tools/) imported straight
//! into this file, so they produce no artefacts of their own. What lands in zig-out is the ELF and
//! the image, and nothing else.
//!
//! ## As a dependency
//!
//! Everything above is also callable from another package's build.zig: `pub fn chipTarget`,
//! `pub fn firmware`, `pub fn hostTools` and the `pub` step types below are the whole surface, and
//! this file's own `build()` drives them, so there is one implementation of each and no second copy
//! to drift. A dependent obtains them with `@import("zig_p4")` and passes THIS package's builder -
//! `b.dependency("zig_p4", .{}).builder` - to every one of them, because they resolve source paths
//! and cache inputs relative to this root.
const std = @import("std");
// `pub` because a dependent needs these types to talk to the steps below: `image.Options` is the
// argument of every image, flash and size step, `serial.Baud` of every port step, and `rom.Loader`
// is the flasher itself. Re-exported here rather than made reachable some other way because
// build.zig is the one file a dependent can `@import`.

//
// Zig runs a dependency's `build()` eagerly, at configure time, on every build of the
// dependent - whatever its target. Everything below the register module is firmware, and
// building the register module means reading ESP-IDF's headers from disk, which `idfRegisters`
// exits the process over when the checkout is absent. So without this line, merely DECLARING
// this package would make an ESP-IDF checkout a hard requirement of every build of every
// dependent, including the ones that never mention this chip. That is the same failure mode -
// in the same direction, from the other side - as the nesting recorded under `-Dpardes` below.

// `pkg_hash` is `""` in the root package and the package hash otherwise (std/Build.zig:93-94),
