I went to the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in the early 90s, they had a Sandain image processor in the video lab then. I spent many all nighters patching that thing. It was actually part of why I wanted to go there. Someday I’ll have to get the VHS of that stuff into a digital format.
Back when I was at Intel I wasn't aware of anyone frequenting EDA-specific forums. The annual IDC (Intel Developers Conference) was the biggest physical meetup as far as I recall. Also, there were the other company-led events. Very segmented.
PM for this at MS. We do work with WSL but do not rely on it. Currently we treat it as another remote Linux machine, just setup SSH in WSL and we'll work
Is this also integrated with the new Docker features that we saw in the live stream? I think being able to code in VS, build the project in ones favorite Linux distributions docker image and running or debugging it there sounds quite compelling.
If I develop in VS for a Linux target system how does VS know about the headers/libraries on the target?
Oh and a question that would surely interest some of my colleagues: Can it also be used to build and debug Linux kernel stuff, e.g. kernel modules?
This one has been around a bit longer, too, and despite its name is now much more than just a pretty face for GDB but rather a full cross-platform development environment which has IntelliSense everywhere, handles the installation of toolchains and BSPs for embedded targets, building kernel modules (with VisualKernel addon), etc.
The initial report from last year has interesting, if sadly unsurprising, background on how/why so many of these embedded devices have wound up this way.
