FPPTools

Welcome to the Visual Studio Code extension for F Prime Prime (FPP). This extension provides language support for FPP (*.fpp and *.fppi).

F Prime Prime

FPP is a modeling language for the F Prime flight software (FSW) framework developed by JPL. FPP can be used to generate XML and C++ using FPP compiler tools. Developers may combine code generated from FPP with code written by hand to create, e.g., deployable FSW programs and ground data environments.

F Prime

F´ (or F Prime) is a software framework for the rapid development and deployment of embedded systems and spaceflight applications. Originally developed at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, F´ is open-source software that has been successfully deployed for several space applications. It has been used for but is not limited to, CubeSats, SmallSats, instruments, and deployable.

Features

Syntax Highlighting

Syntactic highlighting of FPP tokens is performed using VS Code's tokenization engine, TextMate grammars. FPP tokens are grouped in the following patterns:

• Keywords
  • Control
  • Type
• Operators
• Identifiers
• Numbers
• Strings
• Comments
• Annotations
