Overcoming C++ Embedded Development Tooling Challenges - Marc Goodner - CppCon 2022
https://github.com/CppCon/CppCon2022
There are more challenges in embedded than convincing your boss to let you use C++ on your next project. To start with, every silicon vendor seems to have their own IDE. They often have desirable diagnostic capabilities but are lacking in terms of a modern editing experience and are tightly coupled with specialized compilers.
How can you use these compilers with your IDE of choice? If you can already, are you able to also get the diagnostic capabilities you need? How do you manage versions of the compilers you are using for your project generally, even if you can acquire them independently of a vendor IDE? This is a difficult challenge for teams that set versions of compilers and tools at the beginning of a project, but work on multiple projects requiring different tools at the right time. Now, if you can navigate these challenges for your team's local development how do you extend this to your CI system? Is it even possible to connect the outputs of CI to CD?
There is currently a lot of energy within the embedded tools ecosystem to solve these problems. This session will explore these problem areas and how participants in the ecosystem are addressing them. You will leave this session with a better understanding of this landscape and ideas you can bring back to address challenges you are having with managing your embedded tooling.
