[ECOS] CDL/TCL issue building macro names in loops

["Richard Rauch" <rrauch@itrgmbh.de>]

Hi all,

is there an expert for CDL/TCL language?

I have problems with creating  macro name dynamically with TCL language.

I have to implement an ADC driver. I want to create the list of channels.
Because the large number of channels (10 internal channel with ACT value,
MIN value and MAX value and 15 external channels) I want to create the
channel list more convenient.

The following code (some excerpt of my CDL script) works already good, but
it is not matching my requirements completely:

#---------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------
set SensorList { temp vccint vccaux vpvn vrefp vrefn vccbram vccpint vccpaux
vcc0ddr } foreach Sensor $SensorList {

	cdl_component CYGNUM_DEVS_ADC_ARM_XC7Z_ONCHIP_$Sensor {
		parent CYGNUM_DEVS_ADC_ARM_XC7Z_ONCHIP_SENSORS
			display "on-chip $Sensor"
			flavor   none
			description "XADC on-chip $Sensor sensor
measurement"

				cdl_option
CYGDAT_DEVS_ADC_ARM_XC7Z_CHANNEL_NAME_ONCHIP_ACT_$Sensor {
					display "Device name"
					flavor      data
					default_value   [format
{"\"/dev/xadc_act_%s\""} $Sensor ]
					description "
						This option controls the
name that an eCos application
						should use to access this
device via cyg_io_lookup(),
						open(), or similar calls."
				}

.
.
.
#---------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------

The $Sensor symbol is replaced in the code for each loop correctly.
But it works only, when $Sensor is separated by blanks or if it is at end of
string.

It is NOT working, when I place it inside the MACRO Name:  e.g.
CYGDAT_DEVS_ADC_ARM_XC7Z_CHANNEL_ONCHIP_$Sensor _ACT_NAME I have tried
different syntax approaches...e..g "$$", $ at beginning and end of symbol,
put into "[...]", but no success! Is this possible anyhow? And what is the
correct syntax?

Further I want to use string functions "string toupper" and "string
tolower". In Macro Names I want to convert to upper, in device name I want
to convert to lower (which would match the naming conventions).
But this is not working too. I tried e.g [string tolower ($Sensor)] or [expr
string tolower($Sensor)] and a lot of other variants. But I always get
syntax errors.

Any ideas, what is wrong?

Thanks
