Change Description

This pull request starts the process of integrating F Prime Prime (FPP) into mainline F Prime. It contains the following elements:

1. A prototype build system for translating FPP models into XML files.
2. Changes to the Fw code and to the Python C++ autocoders to remove inline enums.
3. Scripts in Autocoders/Python/test for building and running the autocoder tests.
4. FPP models for ports and types.
5. FPP models for the following components:

ActiveRateGroup
ActiveTextLogger
ComSplitter
Deframer
FatalHandler
Framer
LinuxTimer
PolyDb
Time
TlmChan

The prototype build system is based on redo. This will be replaced by CMake in a later PR.

To develop the FPP model and the XML files it generates, you need to install redo and the FPP tools. If you just want to build and run F Prime without developing the FPP model, then you don't need to install these tools.

No docs are included because the plan is to replace the prototype build system before releasing this for general usage.

Rationale

Starting FPP integration.

Testing/Review Recommendations

No specific recommendations.

Future Work

• Extend the FPP modeling and XML generation to cover the rest of the components and the Ref topology.
• Replace the redo build system with an integrated CMake solution.
• Remove the generated XML files from the repo and require FPP builds in order to compile. This is necessary for full integration of the model (e.g., integrating configuration constants specified in the model).
