The Eclipse Embedded CDT plug-ins

These are the Eclipse projects used to build the Eclipse Embedded CDT plug-ins, formerly the GNU MCU/ARM Eclipse plug-ins.

The project is now part of the Eclipse Foundation and is hosted on GitHub.

How to install

Eclipse Packages

For new installs, the preferred method is via Eclipse IDE for Embedded C/C++ Developers which packs the official Eclipse IDE for C/C++ Developers release with all Eclipse Embedded CDT plug-ins already installed.

Older packages are available from GitHub Releases.

Eclipse Marketplace

For existing Eclipse instances, the recommended install method is via Eclipse Marketplace; search for Embedded CDT.

Eclipse Update Sites

• Stable: https://download.eclipse.org/embed-cdt/updates/v6/ This is the official release; it is also referred by the Eclipse Marketplace and the same content is packed as Eclipse IDE for Embedded C/C++ Developers.
• Pre-release versions: https://download.eclipse.org/embed-cdt/updates/v6-test/ Usually this site should be safe, but use it with caution.
• Development versions: https://download.eclipse.org/embed-cdt/builds/develop/p2 Sometimes you can use this site to test features that are not completely implemented, or that might change before a final version is released. Note: This site is not always functional; use it carefully, back up your workspace, and do not use it for production projects.
