What do you consider a "CI system" is in the embedded world using C and/or C++
(with a little assembly) as the development language?

I'm working toward compiling my embedded code on a continuous integration server. Any suggestions (for or against) using GCC vs Microsoft Visual C as the...

Hi Dave I'd go with gcc. It is more portable. And more script frendly. James Sent via BlackBerry from T-Mobile ... From: "davekelloggs"...

Dave: Of the two, I agree with James: gcc is probably going to be easier (maybe MinGW instead of Cygwin just to keep it simple?). I believe, however, that ...

Dave, If you are insistent with going with a non-embedded compiler, I would definitely lean towards GCC over anything else. Especially something from ...

gcc and g++ work well for embedded applications. I've built applications with gcc and glibc that ran fine on my desktop. The same applications cross compiled...

Dave, We tend to treat our CI servers as "The Golden Build". We even go as far as building the actual FW release candidate and post it as a build artifact and...

Hi Greg, I'm unclear what you mean with this mail? Could you clarify it a little further? Are you saying to not use any of these compilers? Bas...

Bas, No, sorry if it came across that way. I am basically saying that it is better to use the compiler you are using for your embedded target if it has a...

Hi Greg, Hmm... yeah... I understand. Though, I agree with all you are saying, I wouldn't make the same recommendations. Perhaps its just the context here, ...

Hi I agree with needing the fast turn around build during unit tests, like Bas explains. Why? To get feedback sooner and avoid debugging. The longer the...

Hi Mark Integration is a pretty broad term, and there are many levels. Some amount can be done off target. But the ultimate, and maybe unattainable in some...

Mark, It is a tough choice to find the right balance of unit, integration, and system level testing. You really need to have some type of full end-to-end suite...
