Exploring Linux Kernel Source Code with Eclipse and QTCreator

Explore the intricacies of navigating Linux kernel source code using Eclipse and QTCreator in this 53-minute conference talk by Marcin Bis. Learn effective techniques for configuring open-source IDEs to develop device drivers and explore kernel source code with various cross toolchains. Discover good practices, side-by-side comparisons of IDE configurations, and their impact on the development process. Follow along with a practical demonstration of Eclipse configuration, writing, and debugging a kernel driver on a remote ARM platform. Gain insights from Bis's personal experience in Embedded Linux, drivers development, and Yocto Project tools. Delve into topics such as build processes, indexing, project settings, remote debugging, and workflow optimization for efficiently navigating millions of lines of kernel code.
