Tool Containerization Best Practices For Embedded Software Development
- Containerization is becoming increasingly prevalent in the embedded software industry, but it still has integration difficulties. Docker is used to encapsulate the relevant development tools in the container image.
- A monocontainer is an approach that utilizes a single container for all the tools necessary instead of separating them.
- Several issues such as scalability, maintainability, troubleshooting, and storage efficiency arises when using the monocontainer approach. Just like traditional Integrated Development Environments, monocontainers have challenging bug localization.
- The ideal solution to these issues is a dedicated tool image, which allows the separation of tools into individual containers. Troubleshooting becomes simpler, and the build process is more efficient. Dedicated tool images are easily adaptable and storage-efficient.
- DEM (Development Environment Manager) and axem Open Tool Dockerfiles are also mentioned as tools to streamline the process of using dedicated tool images.
- Transitioning from monocontainers to dedicated tool images marks a significant leap in efficient embedded software development, enabling developers to excel in the evolving field of embedded software.
