Hello,
I installed Ubuntu a few months ago on my work laptop and I’ve been running and loving it since.
However, I am used to VsCode, so this is what I am using in Ubuntu as well.
So I am curious, what kind of coding so you do? And what is your workflow.
I am an embedded firware developper and mainly use C. I am cross compiling my code in VsCode for a FPGA from Xilinx (dual core arm + PL)
Never dove into make files and cmake more than what I needed in the past, but I had an opportunity to learn CMake and build a project from it.
So my workflow is :
- Code in VsCode
- Build in CMake
- Transfer the app through scp on the target with a custom script (target is running petalinux, which is yocto + Xilinx recipes)
- Use gdb server to debug the code.
It’s a pretty simple workflow, but I’d like to know what you guys are running so that I can maybe upgrade my workflow.
Almost the same FPGA, we use the Mars ZX2 from Enclustra which uses the zynq7010.
The TDD approach is a hard sell to companies because it’s hard to quantify what time is saved in the end and the MBAs of this world have a hard time with that.
I think that some companies and devs also have a bad taste in their mouth due to overzealous adopters and policies, along with using mocks that are not necessarily going to maintain parity with their production counterparts. Some things are a bit silly to test and mocks like that are going to introduce future technical debt.
