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.
