I can add the scripts to INI file format. I feel XML is too heavy a

Yes, INI is easier to read but XML is ubiquitous and easier to sell. I use
tinyXML2. TinyXML2 has been complete enough for me, and the footprint is
small enough for me even on my target devices. On the embedded PowerPC MPC5554:
I am happy to have XML added to the report formats produced by the RSB. I still
think INI is an easier format to handle and what we should embed in the RTEMS
source tree. The data is not that complex. If this is an issue maybe INI and
XML can be embedded.
The problem with INI is that it is a flat format. In XML you directly see the
hierarchy (like in your plain text output, here you use indentation). With an
XML library the parsing of XML files is easy.
Is all the report stuff in "source-builder/sb/reports.py"?
