Eclipse Embedded CDT is an open source project that includes a family of Eclipse plug-ins and tools for multi-platform embedded cross (Arm and RISC-V) development, based on GNU toolchains. The project is now part of the Eclipse Foundation, and is hosted on GitHub.
The Eclipse Embedded CDT plug-ins
These plug-ins provide Eclipse CDT (C/C++ Development Tooling) extensions for GNU embedded toolchains like xPack GNU Arm Embedded GCC, xPack GNU RISC-V Embedded GCC, etc.
In short, the Eclipse Embedded CDT plug-ins allow to create, build,
debug and in general to manage Arm & RISC-V projects (executables
and static/shared libraries, in both 32 and 64-bit versions) with the
Eclipse framework.
The plug-ins run on Windows, macOS and GNU/Linux. For more details
please visit the features page.
Additional tools
Apart from the main Eclipse plug-ins, this project is accompanied by several other tools, distributed as separate packages.
-
xPack Windows Build Tools
The xPack Windows Build Tools project includes the additional tools required to perform builds on Windows (make & rm).
-
xPack GNU Arm Embedded GCC
The xPack GNU Arm Embedded GCC project is an alternate binary distribution that complements the official Arm GNU Toolchain maintained by Arm. Binaries for Windows, macOS and GNU/Linux are available.
-
xPack GNU RISC-V Embedded GCC
The xPack GNU RISC-V Embedded GCC project is a new distribution of the bare metal version of RISC-V GCC. Binaries for Windows, macOS and GNU/Linux are available.
-
xPack OpenOCD
The xPack OpenOCD project is a binary distribution of OpenOCD, customised for a better/more convenient integration with the OpenOCD Debugging plug-in. Binaries for Windows, macOS and GNU/Linux are available.
-
xPack QEMU Arm
The xPack QEMU Arm project is a binary distribution of QEMU (an open source machine emulator), intended to provide support for Arm emulation in Eclipse Embedded CDT. Binaries for Windows, macOS and GNU/Linux are available.
-
xPack QEMU RISC-V
The xPack QEMU RISC-V project is a binary distribution of QEMU (an open source machine emulator), intended to provide support for RISC-V emulation in Eclipse Embedded CDT. Binaries for Windows, macOS and GNU/Linux are available.
