How to configure vim for embedded programming?

Question

I was wondering how to configure vim for embedded programming? Precisely, how to "replace" Atmel studio with vim (I do not want to install Atmel studio with wine)?

Imagine we have only a single main.c file, ALE says that these files cannot be found:

#include <avr/io.h>
#include <avr/interrupt.h>
#include <util/delay.h>

int main() {
    // nothing special
}

And of course it does not compile as compiler can't find those header files.

I think I installed all the necessary libraries. Maybe there is some problem with the path? How do I configure the path?

Answer 1

I was trying to compile main.c with gcc, but then I compiled it with avr-gcc instead. Warnings of "file not found" didn't go away, but it compiled successfully.

Answer 2

Actually Vim can replace any IDE regardless of type of programming, it doesn't matter whether it is embedded for AVR, embedded for ARM, C/C++, python, Java...

Vim is just a powerful text editor, so it is not its problem that You cannot compile your project for AVR. It is not the case of Vim. What kind of build system do You use? Is it Make or something else? Or maybe You don't use any of these and You compile straight from command line?

Provide us with more information :)
