#CMSIS-Pack Management for Eclipse

The CMSIS-Pack Management for Eclipse is created by ARM to provide a open-source reference implementation for the support of the CMSIS-Pack specification in the Eclipse environment. It implements the fundamentals to access the information and resources contained in Software Packs and can be re-used by the ARM eco-system in any type of tools, for example configuration utilities or development environments.

ARM is commited to maintain this CMSIS-Pack Management for Eclipse to ensure consistency with future extensions and modifications to the CMSIS-Pack Specification.

This release 1.0 is a good starting point for review and experiments. It allows creation and management of an CDT-based C/C++ project. We are now looking for feedback and the future versions will cover more features, improvements and optimizations.

For evaluation you need CMSIS-Pack compliant Software Packs that are available for download from the CMSIS Pack Repository.

License: The software is provided under the Eclipse Public License Version 1.0.

Platform: This release of the CMSIS-Pack Management for Eclipse has been tested on Eclipse 4.4.0 (Luna).
