Introduction
This plug-in is an Eclipse CDT Manged Build Extension for GNU ARM Toolchains like CodeSourcery G++ Lite, GNUARM, WinARM, Yagarto, devkitPro. The project home is on SourceForge.
For more details please visit the Features page.
Notice: If you plan to build existing Makefile projects, all required functionality is already available in Eclipse CDT and this plug-in is not needed. Install this plug-in if you plan to migrate later to managed builds.
Supported Toolchains
CodeSourcery G++ Lite for ARM EABI
The CodeSourcery G++ Lite for ARM EABI toolchain (arm-none-eabi-gcc) runs on
- Windows (with provided cs-make/cs-rm)
- GNU/Linux
- Mac OS X
CodeSourcery is probably the prominent maintainer of the GNU GCC Toolchain for ARM processors. They have several commercial offerings, but they also provide CodeSourcery G++ Lite for ARM EABI, a complete set of command-line tools, the perfect match for the GNU ARM Eclipse Plug-in. For Windows and Linux hosts, the Lite editions are available as binary distributions that simply install and are ready to use. For Mac OS X, you need to build them from sources available on the CodeSourcery site.
Unless you have no specific requirements that better match another toolchain, the recommended choice would be CodeSourcery, it seems to be the most up-to-date and the most actively maintained.

The GNUARM toolchain and derivatives (arm-elf-gcc) runs on
- Windows
- GNU/Linux
- Mac OS X
GNUARM was the original port of GCC for ARM. According to their site, the last version was 4.1.1, released in 2006,.
