IBoM variants

This is an analysis and test of the variants implementation of IBoM

What goes inside the SCH

• The field used for variants must be specified using --variant-field
• The field can contain only one value. So you create some kind of component groups.

What goes outside the SCH

• Two optional lists are passed to create the variant.
• Components without a group are always included.
• Whitelist: only the groups listed here are included.
  • If this list is empty all groups are included, unless listed in the blacklist.
• Blacklist: groups listed here are excluded.

Where is in the code?

In core/ibom.py function skip_component.

Conclusion

Advantages

• The Config field is simple.
• You have "exclude from" and "include only" options.

Disadvantages

• Critical part of the information is outside the project.
