Alternate Development Tools

[arthurlockman]

We all know that WindRiver is, well, awful. A lot of the time, it just doesn't work. My question is simple: Does anyone use anything else for development and deployment? I'd love to use TextMate or XCode or something else to develop with. Does anyone have any other solutions? I'd love to hear them!

I find winriver to be good actually. winriver is actually eclipse in a branded package. If you can find out the command line parameters to compile in winriver then I guess you can use anything and upload the .out file via ftp.

UCPP is an awesome project. It integrates especially well on unix-like OSes (on windows it requires cygwin or msysgit and windriver).

https://github.com/nikitakit/ucpp

Set it up:

$ ucpp setup -t XXYY

This way, just do this:

$ mkdir code
$ cd code
$ ucpp init
//add files, make changes, etc.
$ ucpp configure
$ make
$ make deploy

That's cool, I had no idea there was linux tools for frc.
