How to develop a C++ Linux app for i.MX 8M nano?

[chillinwithscb]

There's a doc "Developing an Application for the i.MX Devices on the Linux Platform" from 2010 about using Eclipse to develop an C++ app for Linux. But, Eclipse sucks and is not used much anymore. Seem like a dead tool; at least dead to me

I did read about a tool called MCUXpresso that's for vscode. But maybe that's only for MCU development; not linux development. True?

There is one process that I'm familiar with. That's to create a cross-compiler via yocto to build my C++ app and also to package it into an image. Also, can build an executable via the cross-compiler and scp it to the target. Is this the only way to develop a C++ app for an NXP imx8?

Hello,

That's correct is the only way to build a c++ application, but you can download the QTcreator to build c++ and qt application as well.

Thanks. ... and I'm not using QT; not that I was asking about that.
