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 also running Ubuntu as my main machine at home. (I have a Mac and do Android development for my day job).

But at home, I do a lot of website and backend dev.

  1. Code in VSCode
  2. Build using docker buildx
  3. Test using a local container on my machine
  4. Upload the tested code to a feature brach on git (self hosted server)
  5. Download that same feature branch on a RaspberryPi for QA testing.
  6. Merge that same code to develop 6a. That kicks off a CI build that deploys a set of docker images to DockerHub.
  7. Merge that to main/master.
  8. That kicks off another CI build.
  9. SSH into my prod machine and run docker compose up -d
