Integration with IDEs

IDEs and text editors (e.g., VSCode, Emacs, Vim, Neovim) typically offer plugins to enhance the development experience, such as Clangd LSP. These plugins provide features like code navigation (i.e., jumping to definitions and declarations), code completion, and code formatting.

U-Boot provides a script (i.e., scripts/gen_compile_commands.py) that generates a compilation database to be utilized by Clangd LSP for code navigation. For detailed usage instructions, please refer to the script’s documentation: Create build database for IDEs.
