In the field of embedded systems, flexibility and modularity are key to efficiently managing complex projects. The Yocto Project is a powerful build system for creating custom Linux distributions, embodying this concept through its layered mechanism. These layers are essentially a set of repositories containing the instructions and metadata required to build specific target images. … Read more
As a programmer, you must have encountered situations where you have to input a long string of commands every time you compile a project. Different files require different compilation options, and even a slight change means retyping the command… If you are troubled by these issues, then Makefile is your savior! What is a Makefile? … Read more
The Mystery of STM32CubeIDE Debugging “Failure”: Don’t Touch That Crucial Checkbox! Introduction: The Confusing “Silence” Have you ever encountered a situation where you modified a few lines of code in STM32CubeIDE, confidently clicked the “Debug” button, ready to observe the program’s execution, only to find… nothing happened? No error messages, no log updates, the debugging … Read more
In the C++ program build process, there are four stages: Preprocessing → Compilation → Assembly → Linking. The toolchains invoked behind the scenes vary slightly across different platforms. Below is a comparison table listing common tools in the mainstream environments of Windows / macOS / Linux: 📑 C++ Build Process Tool Comparison Stage Windows (MSVC) … Read more
Click the blue text to follow the author 1. Introduction In complex software projects, dependency management is one of the core challenges during the build process. When we use CMake to build projects, we often need to introduce external libraries, header files, executables, or configuration files. Manually specifying the paths for these external dependencies can … Read more
In a makefile, we can generate specified target files from our source code based on a series of rules defined in the makefile. This helps us automate various operations such as compiling and packaging programs. 1 Basic Principles of Makefile: Any version of the shell will include the make command. When we execute the make … Read more

• This article uses the friendlywrt22-rk3568 distribution as an example to explain how to customize an OpenWrt firmware. The customization features include modifying network parameters, login passwords, boot interface (banner), proxy ARP, opkg sources, hostname, default application configuration parameters, adding arbitrary files (not limited to applications and their libraries), etc. Finally, a complete practical example … Read more
Understanding Makefile Recently, I have been looking at some content related to network programming, where the project directory and the contents of the <span>makefile</span> are as follows: server: g++ server.cpp -o server && g++ client.cpp -o client Since I did not understand the meaning of this, I was wondering why the <span>server</span> is needed. I … Read more
Click the blue textFollow the author 1. Introduction So far, the CMake examples we have encountered follow a straightforward process: starting from a series of source files, ultimately building into a single executable program or generating static/dynamic libraries. This linear process is simple and easy to understand, but often proves inadequate in more complex projects. … Read more
