Coders, what is your workflow on Linux
Coders, what is your workflow on Linux
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.
You're viewing a single thread.
- Setup my vimrc.
- Clone the project, and realize that whatever repo managing system they started using 3 years ago requires setup steps not in the README and breaks everything at the slightest touch.
- Build the currently relevant project in whatever build system they started using 3 years ago (CMake is quite nice).
- Fix my vimrc to be compliant with whatever tabbing they use.
- Realize that for some reason, someone made a commit in the file I'm reading that uses 3 space tabs. And worse, someone approved that PR.
- Make changes via vim.
- Debug via print because setting up gdb or JTAG on embedded systems is usually more effort than its worth.
- Realize it's a timing issue and reluctantly go find the JTAG debugger.
It's funny how the JTAG debugger should be the first thing that we use, but just like you, I don't want to use it until really necessary.
But the moment I setup everything, then I wonder why I've waited so long to do the setup haha.
