Microcontroller Programming without IDE (Makefile + Toolchain) | Embedded System Project Series #5
There are two common ways to set up a development environment for a microcontroller (embedded) project:
IDE - Use the integrated development environment (IDE) provided by the vendor.
CLI - Use the toolchain from the command-line (CLI), build with make (Makefile), and use your code editor of choice.
In the last video, I focused on the first approach and set up an IDE, Code Composer Studio (CCStudio). In this video, I focus on the second approach. I talk about toolchains, the advantages of building from the command-line, and show how to install a GCC-based toolchain and use it to compile the same blink LED project (MSP430) as in the last video. Finally, I create a Makefile from scratch to make building easier.
