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 :

  1. Code in VsCode
  2. Build in CMake
  3. Transfer the app through scp on the target with a custom script (target is running petalinux, which is yocto + Xilinx recipes)
  4. 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.

      Isn’t JetBrains a paid suite? I’ve heard a lot of good things about it, but since my workflow is basic, VsCode was always the choice wherever I worked.

            It’s not just Java. It supports a few other languages as well. I am pretty sure it supports Rust, HTML, JavaScript and maybe a couple others. It doesn’t support Python, Go, PHP, C/C++, or Ruby (as they have separate products for those).

      I do too. Nvim for text editing, vs code for the occasional one/two file script, jetbrains for anything more extensive

      JetBrains, the refactoring tools are much better than any alternative, and that is a great productivity booster. Also, it has excellent remote support. Mainly at the moment, I’m using pycharm and clion.
