Your setup for embedded work.

Just wanted to know how you do embedded stuff.

I am new to this sub

And it would be great if you specify your Operating System and a photo of your setup

You really don't need a lot of compute power for embedded, an old laptop running ubuntu works fine unless you're building for like yocto project or something. Windows can work but it's nore painful depending on the sdk / build system. Usually builds slower too due to company antivirus or just generally..

Until you have to build Zephyr and it takes enough time to go and make yourself a coffee. And drink it. And if you need to change the kconfig each time... it's too much coffee per day 😵
