+Create build database for IDEs
+==============================
+
+gen_compile_commands (scripts/gen_compile_commands.py) is a script used to
+generate a compilation database (compile_commands.json). This database consists
+of an array of "command objects" describing how each translation unit was
+compiled.
+
+Example::
+
+ {
+ "command": "gcc -Wp,-MD,arch/x86/cpu/.lapic.o.d -nostdinc -isystem (...)"
+ "directory": "/home/jmcosta/u-boot",
+ "file": "/home/jmcosta/u-boot/arch/x86/cpu/lapic.c"
+ }
+
+Such information comes from parsing the respective .cmd file of each translation
+unit. In the previous example, that would be `arch/x86/cpu/.lapic.o.cmd`.
+
+For more details on the database format, please refer to the official
+documentation at https://clang.llvm.org/docs/JSONCompilationDatabase.html.
+
+The compilation database is quite useful for text editors (and IDEs) that use
+Clangd LSP. It allows jumping to definitions and declarations. Since it relies
+on parsing .cmd files, one needs to have a target (e.g. configs/xxx_defconfig)
+built before running the script.
+
+Example::
+
+ make sandbox_defconfig
+ make
+ ./scripts/gen_compile_commands.py
+
+Beware that depending on the changes you made to the project's source code, you
+may need to run the script again (presuming you recompiled your target, of
+course) to have an up-to-date database.
+
+The database will be in the root of the repository. No further modifications are
+needed for it to be usable by the LSP, unless you set a name for the database
+other than it's default one (compile_commands.json).
+
+Compatible IDEs
+===============
+
+Several popular integrated development environments (IDEs) support the use
+of JSON compilation databases for C/C++ development, making it easier to
+manage build configurations and code analysis. Some of these IDEs include:
+
+1. **Visual Studio Code (VS Code)**: IntelliSense in VS Code can be set up to
+ use compile_commands.json by following the instructions in
+ https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/cpp/faq-cpp#_how-do-i-get-intellisense-to-work-correctly.
+
+2. **CLion**: JetBrains' CLion IDE supports JSON compilation databases out
+ of the box. You can configure your project to use a compile_commands.json
+ file via the project settings. Details on setting up CLion with JSON
+ compilation databases can be found at
+ https://www.jetbrains.com/help/clion/compilation-database.html.
+
+3. **Qt Creator**: Qt Creator, a popular IDE for Qt development, also
+ supports compile_commands.json for C/C++ projects. Instructions on how to
+ use this feature can be found at
+ https://doc.qt.io/qtcreator/creator-clang-codemodel.html#using-compilation-databases.
+
+4. **Eclipse CDT**: Eclipse's C/C++ Development Tools (CDT) can be
+ configured to use JSON compilation databases for better project management.
+ You can find guidance on setting up JSON compilation database support at the
+ wiki: https://wiki.eclipse.org/CDT/User/NewIn910#Build.
+
+For Vim, Neovim, and Emacs, if you are using Clangd as your LSP, placing the
+compile_commands.json in the root of the repository should suffice to enable
+code navigation.
+
+Usage

+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: :doc:`../build/gen_compile_commands`.
