Hands-On Embedded Programming with C++17

Summary

In this chapter, we looked at how to develop and test embedded, OS-based applications. We learned how to install and use a cross-compilation toolchain, how to do remote debugging using GDB, and how to write a build system that allows us to compile for a wide variety of target systems with minimal effort required to add a new target.

At this point, you are expected to be able to develop and debug an embedded application for a Linux-based SBC or similar, while being able to work in an efficient way.

In the next chapter, we'll be looking at how to develop for and test applications for more constrained, MCU-based platforms.
