Where to start learning if you want to write under the RTOS (VxWorks) for robotics?

Question

linux

I read that Eclipse is an IDE for embedded systems, is it necessary to switch to it, since I'm used to CodeBlocks and what can I start practicing on?

Answer 1

You can write in any editor, even vi, even emacs (which we did with pleasure in our time). It's just that many OCPB vendors are betting on the eclipse development environment as one of the most popular and free. Heaps of plug-ins for debugging and configuring are written to it. Switching to it is not necessary at all, you can configure absolutely any IDE, even MS Visual Studio. The question is what you will need to configure yourself.
So for the initial study, I would start with the built-in development / debugging tools, and only then would I set up my environment and toolchain.
With VxWorks, start with a couple of tasks that will exchange ping pong style messages with each other.

Answer 2

Eclipse for specific embedded systems can be found already configured. If you do not want to understand how cross compilers and other cross-gdb work, take the already configured one. otherwise there will be a lot of love with the settings.
