edi is a generic tool that helps you to streamline your e\ mbedded d\ evelopment i\ nfrastructure. By itself edi does not do a lot but together with a project configuration (examples: edi-pi, edi-cl and edi-var_) it unfolds its potential and you can build

• artifacts like full OS images that can be directly flashed to a device,
• artifacts that allow you to update your device over the air\ ,
• Linux containers that serve as a digital twin of the device and can be used for development, build automation, testing and even container based deployments and
• nice documents about the content of your artifacts

in a reproducible manner that easily fits into a modern, automated development workflow.

edi is proven in use and OS and container images generated by edi are running on 250k+ devices all around the world! edi project configurations can easily be adjusted to individual use cases and additional hardware devices. The setup is designed in a way that it scales up to large development projects.

Instead of reinventing the wheel, edi leverages best of breed open source technologies:

• Ansible_ is the tool of choice for doing the configuration management.
• LXD_ allows you to run multiple OS instances on your development host. For complex target system deployments LXD is a great choice too.
• Yaml and Jinja2 are the consistent way to write edi configuration files and Ansible playbooks.
• Python_ is the language and ecosystem that makes the system integration efficient.
• edi is supposed to be used on the Ubuntu Linux or Debian Linux distribution.
• By default, edi generates Debian Linux_ based target systems.
