Core Flight System : Framework : Tool : ELF to cFE Table Converter

This repository contains NASA's ELF to cFE Table Converter Tool (elf2cfetbl), which is a framework component of the Core Flight System.

This lab application is a ground utility to convert ELF to cFE binary tables for cFS. It is intended to be located in the tools/elf2cfetbl subdirectory of a cFS Mission Tree. The Core Flight System is bundled at https://github.com/nasa/cFS, which includes this tool as a submodule, and includes build and execution instructions.

See README.txt for more information.
