Generic pseudomodules

Modules influencing general RIOT behavior. More...

Detailed Description

Modules influencing general RIOT behavior.

These are implemented in other modules or core components, and serve to enable certain functionality.

Pseudomodules can be used as a replacement for plain defines such as CFLAGS += -DMODULE_NAME which often lack standardization in naming and behavior. Furthermore, pseudomodules can participate in dependency resolution and pull in other modules.

Pseudomodules are often enabled automatically through module dependencies, but can also be enabled manually by adding USEMODULE += module_name to an application or module Makefile.

The list of documented pseudomodules is not comprehensive by far; makefiles/pseudomodules.inc.mk lists all that are not defined inside their main modules. Packages and drivers may also add modules to PSEUDOMODULES in their respective Makefile.include. Not all modules listed there are "generic" pseudomodules; some are merely optional components of a particular subsystem and should be documented there.

For further information, please refer to the "Pseudomodules" section in the Creating Modules Guide
