FITmetadata.json generator For Garmin device updates: Make sure you download the latest FIT SDK from https://developer.garmin.com/fit/download/ and extract the c/fit_example.h file and place it in this directory. Do not edit this file, we expect it to be lifted directly from the SDK and it will be replaced as new versions of the SDK are released For Garmin profile updates: The fields.json file in this directory is metadata describing most of the standard fields and is based upon the Profile.xls file in the SDK. If new fields are or profiles are added and you want them to be parsed via metadata then update fields.json to include the entries. At present the FIT ride file reader code is a mix of hard coded parsing for the majority of the message types, but the code for parsing session and lap message types does use the metadata to control parsing (and puts the results into the XDATA section of a ridefile) If you add new profile then you should use metadata to drive the parsing and add the data to the XDATA section to avoid impacting existing code. Generate a new FITmetadata.json file There is a Makefile in this directory that will refresh baed upon the timestamp of the fit_example.h. To refresh simply run 'make'. If you wish to re-run and regenerate 'touch fit_example.h; make' will do that. You will need python3 installed since the generator is a python script. Please do not edit this script but raise a github issue if you find it is broken. When Garmin devices are not yet supported by the SDK The SDK lags behind device availability in this case you should add the Garmin device to the nongarmin.json file, this will override any value found in the Garmin SDK and is typically because a device is reported by a user at the forums before the SDK is updated or is a legacy device that Garmin no longer supports. For non-Garmin device updates: Update the file nongarmin.json to add the manufacturer and product combination and associated description. See existing values in there as examples. Note that a product number of -1 is to set the default description for any device from that manufacturer that is not defined Once the updates have been made you can regenerate FITmetadata.json with: $ make A new FITmetadata.json file will be created in the src/Resources/json directory,
