CMake Toolchain Files

CMake defines the location, arguments, and properties of build tools using toolchain files. In short, these files specify what configuration of tools to use to build the CMake project. Since CMake toolchain files can be shared between projects, F´ mostly uses them as-is. To set platform-specific fprime settings a parallel Platform file may be created in order to keep those settings out of this more generic file.

See: https://cmake.org/cmake/help/v3.12/manual/cmake-toolchains.7.html

CMake toolchains are often adapted from vendor-supplied toolchains, or from one F´ provides. Users should set the variable FPRIME_PLATFORM in their toolchain to specify the F Prime platform file. See: fprime Platform Files
