The goal of FDTKit is to help flash developers build and maintain a standard Eclipse/FDT environment through a centralized multi-platform toolkit of open source tools, libraries, scripts, templates
... [More]
and documentation.
While the toolkit is largely geared towards newcomers to Eclipse/FDT, and is some respects can be treated as a set of 'missing manuals and tools', the centralized collection of the various components that make up FDTKit should prove a worthwhile resource to anyone who desires a standardized central toolkit as a base for their IDE.
In fact, FDTKit was created as I moved to (and learned) the Eclipse/FDT environment and desired to centralize the all the peripherals required to build a comfortable environment and keep them in sync between workstations via SVN.
FDTKit is distributed as an eclipse project via subversion which means you may Install FDTKit in to your existing eclipse/FDT environment or follow the Eclipse, FDT, Subclipse Install Guide to get your new environment up and running, and then Install FDTKit.
Additionally, because FDTKit is delivered thru subversion which eclipse supports via the Subclipse plugin - you can easily install and update FDTKit in just a few clicks of eclipse.
The FDTKit repository can also be viewed with a web browser.
Important update notice: - FDT 3 has been released by powerflashers. FDTKit is currently waiting for an Open Source Project license to be granted by PowerFlashers in order to complete the porting and documentation to this new version. FDTKit is now fully FDT3 compatible; while most of the wiki pages still hold true slight modifications will be made to bring them up to date shortly. More coming soon .... [Less]
