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.

    I’m the only Sublime Text guy here, I guess. Mostly with extensions for formatting, linting, and detecting compilation/type errors. I work with all kinds of languages, mostly interpreted. Python, Rust, Bash, JS/Typescript, Solidity, and a smidge of others so it’s hard to pin down one workflow.

    EDIT: Just wanted to add that it’s really cool to see the diversity in the replies. This here is the power of Linux.
