Hi Karlo Did you already gave devtool ide-sdk a try? It's documented here: https://docs.yoctoproject.org/sdk-manual/extensible.html#devtool-ide-sdk-configures-ides-for-the-extensible-sdk. [1]
The idea is to provide an easy to use command which can generate an IDE configuration similar to what your repository provides. I think, in comparison to the configuration in your repository the generated configuration files have some advantages: - For cmake and meson the generated configuration allows to by-pass bitbake. It's about calling cmake/meson and ninja/make directly. This is much quicker and comes with much better IDE integration than calling bitbake or devtool does. - Calling "devtool build" is the fallback mode for recipes which are not based on cmake or meson. That means devtool ide-sdk should work very similar as your static configuration does e.g. for u-boot or arm trusted firmware. Supporting other build tools than cmake or meson is on my too long ToDo list. devtool ide-sdk supports VSCode as well as generic script based IDEs. For VSCode devtool ide-sdk recommends some extensions, depending on the recipe type. For details you might want to look at the lines after https://git.yoctoproject.org/poky/tree/scripts/lib/devtool/ide_plugins/ide_code.py#n160. [2] I guess we could also offer a more open source only configuration as an option. In general different IDEs are supported via plugins. This would also allow to have a vscode and a vscodium plugin where the vscode plugin recommends closed and open plugins and the vscodium plugin recommends only open plugins. So far there is no support for openocd e.g. for kernel or u-boot. But this would be a very nice improvement for devtool ide-sdk. Devtool ide- sdk could be extended to support the u-boot or the kernel recipes in a more advanced way as your static configuration already does. For a generic approach to generate an openocd configuration there should probably be one part of the configuration which is defined per machine and one part which is generated per recipe (u-boot or kernel). Please be aware that if you have VSCode installed and do ". oe-init- build-env" a .vscode/settings.json file gets generated (check is here: https://git.yoctoproject.org/poky/tree/oe-init-build-env#n52, the generator script is here: https://git.yoctoproject.org/poky/tree/scripts/oe-setup-vscode). [3] This is conflicting with the recommendation of copying a settings.json file from your repository. But when using VSCode with Yocto, it's very important to configure some plugins indexers to not index the build folder. Otherwise VSCode keeps your CPU busy until it gets terminated by an OOM exception. In general, I think that copying a static configuration for VSCode should not become the new recommended way for Yocto since we already have a more generic, more convenient and more extendable implementation in place. I'm interested in your opinion about devtool ide-sdk and I'm happy to support you with contributions to devtool ide-sdk e.g. for openocd. Thank you for sharing this!
