Add implementation information to device schema

• Proposed
• Prototype: Not Started
• Implementation: Not Started
• Specification: Not Started

Summary

Add implementation information to the device schema (https://github.com/harp-tech/protocol/blob/main/schema/device.json)

Motivation

In anticipation of implementation specific behavior (eg. see proposals #18 #42) we should think about adding information related to the architecture of the implementation. This may also be necessary for future virtual devices and even 32-bit architectures.

Detailed Design

Add a new field called "target_implementation" to the schema of type string.

Drawbacks

Alternatives

Unresolved Questions

Should this be a constrained list of strings?
Should we also add a separate field for the 8bit/32bit versions?

Design Meetings

[bruno-f-cruz]

Consider also having an entry for virtual devices in addition to hardware architectures.
Goncalo suggests calling this "Architecture" = enum[atmel, pico, virtual, etc...]

Open questions:

• What to name this field?
• What enumerable values should be allowed for now?
