Version 6.3.0 is a new release; it adds two new Arm & RISC-V templates and updates the QEMU debugging plug-ins.

Compatibility

Special precautions were taken to preserve compatibility with projects created by pre-6.x plug-ins, such that user projects will continue to be accepted directly for Import, without modifications.

However, due to the way Eclipse manages perspectives and views, by caching some IDs, workspaces created with pre-6.x plug-ins may exhibit several problems when used directly.

To avoid such situations, it is recommended to create a new workspace with the new release and import the projects there.

Install

Eclipse Marketplace

The recommended way to update to the latest plug-ins is via the Eclipse Marketplace; search for Embedded CDT.

Eclipse Update Sites

For those who prefer to install manually, the latest version is available via Install New Software from:

  • https://download.eclipse.org/embed-cdt/updates/v6/

To get exactly this version, Install New Software from:

  • https://download.eclipse.org/embed-cdt/releases/6.3.0/p2/

Local install

For manual installs, the plug-ins are also available as regular archives, that can be downloaded locally and installed.
