svd2rust is about to change the default case for fields, methods and types (see rust-embedded/svd2rust#805). But maybe we should get 0.6 done and put that change in 0.7?

[jannic]

Yes, I heard about it moments after sending the merge request. If we want to do that change (l hope it's optional?) we should IMHO wait for it.

They changed the default. You can use a config file to put it back as it was. But it's a good change! The defaults were just wrong and confusing to teach.

I rebuilt the pac using the updated svd2rust, and I agree, the new identifier casing is more consistent. One disadvantage I see is that the old spelling was usually identical to what's used in the datasheets, so it was easier to cross-reference between documentation and code.

Anyway, this is a huge breaking change. Trying to compile an unmodified rp2040-hal with that pac ends with:

error: could not compile `rp2040-hal` (lib) due to 333 previous errors

--ident-formats-theme legacy successfully reverts to the old behavior. So we do have the option to update svd2rust, while keeping the old identifiers.

Worse, it breaks applications that do Uart::new(p.UART0, ...) etc.

If you would like to include svd2rust's new naming scheme in pac v0.6.0, I am willing to help.
I think the new naming scheme is more consistent, but we will need to carefully consider whether we should adopt it.

However, I suspect that the release will take some time, as they will be cautious about releasing it with major changes to svd2rust.
I feel it would be a better idea to release pac v0.6.0 now.

svd2rust 0.32 is released.
You can use --ident-formats-theme legacy flag for old behavior. Of multiple -f flags for fine tuning.

Or use toml config. See https://github.com/stm32-rs/stm32-rs/blob/master/svd2rust.toml
