Add a documentation page for advanced low level tricks. Document the `RIOT_MAKEFILES_GLOBAL_PRE` and `RIOT_MAKEFILES_GLOBAL_POST`. I could not work around to have `$(RIOTBASE)/Makefile.include` in the doc as the `$()` part was removed, so I kept with `$RIOTBASE` for now.

Introduction {#introduction}
This page describes some build systems tricks that can help developers but are not part of the standard workflow.
They are low level commands that should not be taken as part of a stable API but better have a documentation than only having a description in the build system code.
Customize the build system {#customize-build-system}
-
RIOT_MAKEFILES_GLOBAL_PRE
: files parsed before the body of$RIOTBASE/Makefile.include
-
RIOT_MAKEFILES_GLOBAL_POST
: files parsed after the body of$RIOTBASE/Makefile.include
The variables are a list of files that will be included by
$RIOTBASE/Makefile.include
.
They will be handled as relative to the application directory if the path is
relative.
Usage
You can configure your own files that will be parsed by the build system main
Makefile.include
file before or after its main body, examples usages can be:
- Globally overwrite a variable, like
TERMPROG
- Specify a hard written
PORT
/DEBUG_ADAPTER_ID
for some BOARD values - Define your custom targets
- Override default targets
