Cloud-IDE
An intriguing and annoying problem when dealing with open-source development tool-chains for embedded systems is their complex setup that often is very frustrating for novices in the field of Embedded Systems leading to poor acceptance.
Modern cloud-based development environments like the one offered by mbed, in contrast, alleviate this tooling overhead and additionally provide a social media platform to support collaboration and exchange of experience. Mbed and similar cloud-based IDEs for Embedded Systems Software, however, lack some professionalism with regard to debugging, code version management or support of different hardware platforms.
In the context of this work-package, we develop an Embedded Systems Cloud
IDE based on Cloud-9 that tries
to solve this issue with minimal local installation overheads. Below is a
screenshot of our implementation.
In contrast to other solutions, our Embedded Systems Cloud IDE enables
convenient debugging of embedded systems.
The Cloud-IDE as well as other relevant project results are avaliable as
open-source hosted on GitHub.
