Building Custom C/C++ Tools: CDT Cloud and Eclipse Theia in Action

Are you looking for the best way to create a custom C/C++ development tool that perfectly matches your specific requirements, hardware, or tool-chains? Check out our recent session at TheiaCon! We’ve explored the capabilities of CDT Cloud and Eclipse Theia, a powerful combination for those who want to develop specialized IDEs for C/C++ development needs.

CDT Cloud Blueprint, a powerful web-based IDE for C/C++ development, offers robust coding, debugging, and tracing features. It’s built upon Eclipse Theia, providing a solid base while enabling lots of flexibility for adding unique customizations, such as specialized project configuration, seamless integration of specific toolchains and much more, making embedded development with specific hardware a breeze.

In our session, we demonstrate the initial steps in developing a custom C/C++ tool using CDT Cloud Blueprint. By using the Raspberry Pico as an example, we provide a practical guide through the development steps. The talk not only covers the typical customizations needed for a specialized C/C++ IDE, but also discusses how your specific components, such as toolchains, debuggers, and device managers, can be integrated to achieve a smooth user experience with lots of out-of-the-box functionality for your users..
