Zylin Embedded CDT

Zylin-embedded CDT works with Eclipse 3.6. No attempt is made at retaining compatibility with older versions, although the source code history is availble.

A long time ago Zylin Embedded CDT had some patches to CDT, but in the last few years, no patches to CDT are necessary.

Mini FAQ

  • Q: Is the plug-in only for embedded development?
  • A: No. It is a generic GDB debug plug-in. It can be used for many types of targets, such as Linux/Cygwin work.
  • Q: Does it support all JTAG/hardware debuggers?
  • A: Most of them. You can issue "monitor XXX" commands to send commands to the JTAG/hardware debuggers in the GDB startup/run scripts to perform such functions as flash programming and resetting the target. No fancy flash programming GUIs though--the JTAG/hardware debugger should provide that.
  • Q: Is the plug-in specific to eCos?
  • A: No.
  • Q: Is the plug-in specific to ARM?
  • A: No. In principle, it can be used with any CPU that GDB supports.
  • Q: Does the plug-in work under Windows/Cygwin/Linux/Mac/QNX/Sun?
  • A: Yes.
