Linux Studio - Application Development on the Host

Overview
Linux Studio makes the features of SEGGER’s award-winning IDE available to all Linux application developers. With its Visual Studio-style user interface, powerful project management, and integrated source-level debugger it makes native host application development on Linux smooth and easy.

Any developer who has used Embedded Studio for firmware development will find Linux Studio to be the perfect fit. Through a single common interface and environment for all projects, Embedded Studio and Linux Studio boost productivity.

Likewise, Linux Studio increases efficiency for all developers by making all tools and resources for even the largest projects available within one application.

Project Management
Linux Studio’s powerful project manager enables straightforward organization of all project resources. File structures can be automatically pulled from the file system, or source files can be freely grouped in virtual folders for a better overview.

Multi-project solutions can keep all parts of an application, such as an executable, additional libraries, and resources, together. With project dependencies, all related parts can be built if and when a source changes.

Pre- and post-build steps, as well as additional project types for staging, round off the project management. Linux Studio accompanies successful projects from the first file to the final delivery.

Application Development
Linux Studio’s source code editor comes with well-known features, such as syntax highlighting and easy navigation throughout all project sources. It provides assistance for efficient development through code completion, suggestions, and templates.

The build system of Linux Studio makes the native toolchain of the host system easy to use. Include paths, preprocessor definitions, and additional command line options can easily be set and selected in configuration dialogs. Build options can be overridden or extended for each individual file or group of files.

With the flexibility of Linux Studio’s build configurations, a project can not only be built in a debug and a release configuration, it enables defining configurations for any build target, such as different flavors of one application, with just a few clicks.

Integrated Debugger
Linux Studio is a full-featured IDE, which includes an integrated source-level debugger. Projects can be debugged in the same environment in which they are developed. While debugging, the source code editor enables setting breakpoints on the application’s source code lines, stepping through the source code, and quickly inspecting symbol values. Further dedicated debugging windows provide all necessary information and insights into the system.

Run Control
In a debug session, Linux Studio enables full control of the target application. When debugging is started, the application runs to the entry point after startup, usually main(). From there it can simply be continued, or stepped through line by line. The source code editor always highlights where the application is currently halted. Source code breakpoints enable halting when a given line is executed. Manual controls allow interruption of execution at any point.

Debug Terminal
For regular terminal applications it is not necessary to open an external window and switch back and forth while debugging. Linux Studio includes the Debug Terminal window, which displays output to stdout and errout directly in the IDE.

Threads and Call Stack
The Threads window displays the list of all threads or tasks created by the target application. It provides information about the current state of each thread and where it is currently executing. By selecting a thread, its call stack and state can be further analyzed.

The Call Stack window displays the current path of execution, i.e. the callers of a function, usually up to the entry point. It can also provide information about the function parameters and its values.

Symbol Windows
Linux Studio features different windows to inspect and modify the state of variables and expressions. The Globals window displays all global variables, while the Locals window displays all local variables of the context. The Auto window displays all variables which are relevant to the currently active source line or block. Variables and expressions can also be manually selected for inspection in the Watches window. In addition to the symbol windows, mouse-over tooltips and the quick watch provide a quick look at symbols from within the source code editor.

Registers and Memory Windows
Getting information about the current hardware state is especially valuable in embedded development but might sometimes also be useful in host application development. Linux Studio provides the Register windows which displays the values of CPU registers, as well as the Memory windows which enables inspecting the content of the application’s memory image.

Disassembly Window

Getting the actual instructions which are executed is a more advanced low-level feature, too. Linux Studio includes a Disassembly window, which is synchronized with the source code and highlights the current instruction the application is halted at. Like in the editor, the run control features are also available on disassembly level.
