Re: [ts-7000] IDEs

[Ryan <>]

I agree with several others that development is best done in text editors and compiling on the board itself using a makefile. FWIW my setup is Kate (I have a "session" saved for each project), and I have a konsole up with the rsync command that I just hit up enter periodically to transfer the source (using public key SSH so I don't have to type the password), then a couple konsoles open with ssh into the board to run make/gdb/etc. Kate has syntax highlighting, word-completion, CTag integration (which I don't really use), and several other common things you'd find in an IDE. It also has a console window that you can open and hide that I use for easy reference of man pages and such. As a matter of fact I could just skip the rsync and edit the source right on the board by opening the source over FiSH but I like to have a local copy... We currently use the 7553 and 7800 and this is the way I develop all of my various projects, even non-embedded... 2 of my coworkers try to use eclipse and fumble around trying to get it to even work, one is considering switching to netbeans... I find them both a frustrating waste of time compared to oldschool methods, even the "updated" ones like I use.

As many of you know we currently provide the Eclipse IDE configured with our toolchains for the various boards.  We're looking to improve how this is supported and to update the IDE package for our newer boards but we are also exploring other IDEs as an alternative.  I've talked to a number of customers who seem to strongly prefer Code::Blocks or Netbeans.  I'm curious to hear opinions from those who have worked with these or other relevant IDEs themselves.

Here are the various IDE's I've been evaluating:

Code::Blocks: http://www.codeblocks.org/
Netbeans: http://netbeans.org/
Codelite: http://www.codelite.org/
Eclipse: http://www.eclipse.org/

If anyone else has any open cross platform IDEs to recommend we'd certainly be interested in those as well.  I'm currently leaning towards Code::Blocks as it seems like it would lend itself to the simplest configuration while still supporting the most features.  They also seem to have a community around using the IDE with embedded systems.  However if most of you prefer Eclipse there are a few improvements we can add to this package to make usage easier.  Specifically I'd like to add templates for our boards rather than just sample the projects that show how to use the cross compilers.
