1. The Role of CMake in Real Life In modern software development, CMake plays a crucial role. It is a cross-platform build tool that helps developers efficiently manage and build software projects. First, CMake provides a unified way to describe the build process of a project, ensuring consistency regardless of whether the project is developed … Read more
Background CMake CMake is a cross-platform open-source build tool used to manage and automatically generate the build process of software projects. CMake automatically generates build system files suitable for different compilers and operating systems, such as Makefile and Visual Studio solutions, based on the descriptions in the CMakeLists.txt file. Multiple Modules Typically, a project will … Read more
In the process of project development, different chip platforms may use different compilation and debugging environments. Taking compilers as an example, commonly used ones include Tasking, Hightec, GreenHills, and IAR. In addition, there are various types of debuggers and emulators. Therefore, familiarizing oneself with the software/hardware environment used is a fundamental skill for software development … Read more
