Embracing Containers for Embedded Software Development
- Containers are a powerful tool emerging as a critical player in embedded software development space
- Containers help in standardizing build systems, improving consistency in development environment, easy onboarding and build reproducibility
- With containers, entire build environment can be packaged from compilers, libraries to build scripts and dependencies
- Containers simplify integrating complex setups into a CI/CD pipeline by encapsulating the entire build system within a container
- Many embedded developers work on multiple projects and containers provide a flexible, efficient way to manage multiple isolated build environments on a single machine
- Although using containers for embedded software development may seem unconventional, these tools are invaluable in simplifying and future-proofing the embedded software development process
- Adopting containers can make the embedded development process more efficient and enjoyable, especially for teams looking to modernize their workflows
- To start using containers in embedded software development, developers can start with learning container basics, identifying the current build system and then leverage containers to streamline CI/CD pipelines
- Developers can explore containerization tools like Docker to set up containerized development environments
- Packaging a current build system into a container and testing it on multiple systems can help in gaining familiarity with containerization and benefits of ease of setup and reproducibility
