In this chapter, we will learn to automate building programs on Linux by using GNU Make for the Starfive Visionfive 2 and for the QEMU emulator. Also, by using CMake for Espressif ESP32-C3, that is included with the Espressif SDK. We will then learn to debug these programs with the GNU Debugger (GDB) on all three platforms.

GNU Make

Under RISC-V Linux, the programs were built using a simple shell script to run the GNU Assembler then the Linux linker/loader. Moving forward, a more sophisticated tool ...
