## Library usage
### Dependencies
* Python 2.7 or 3.3 or newer
Note that this reporitory includes [Pyuavcan](http://uavcan.org/Implementations/Pyuavcan) as a submodule.
Such inclusion enables the library to be built even if pyuavcan is not installed in the system.
### Cloning the repository
```bash
git clone https://github.com/UAVCAN/libuavcan
git clone https://github.com/DroneCAN/libuavcan
cd libuavcan
git submodule update --init

#### With Make
Please refer to the [documentation at the UAVCAN website](http://uavcan.org/Implementations/Libuavcan).
#### With CMake
In order to cross-compile the library with CMake, please follow the below instructions.
You will need to provide a CMake toolchain file, `Toolchain-stm32-cortex-m4.cmake` in this example.
If you're not sure what a toolchain file is or how to prepare one, these instructions are probably not for your
use case; please refer to the section about Make instead.

mkdir build
cd build

### Submitting a Coverity Scan build
First, [get the Coverity build tool](https://scan.coverity.com/download?tab=cxx). Then build the library with it:
```bash
export PATH=$PATH:<coverity-build-tool-directory>/bin/
mkdir build && cd build
cmake <uavcan-source-directory> -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug
cov-build --dir cov-int make -j8
tar czvf uavcan.tgz cov-int
```
Then upload the resulting archive to Coverity.
Automatic check can be triggered by pushing to the branch `coverity_scan`.
