Ceedlings

Ceedlings is a build system and framework designed for embedded C and C++ projects. It aims to simplify the process of developing, testing, and deploying firmware for microcontrollers and other embedded devices. The core functionality of Ceedlings includes managing source files, handling cross-compilation toolchains, and integrating with testing frameworks.

One of Ceedlings' key features is its ability to automate common development tasks. This includes compiling code, linking object files, and generating executable binaries. It supports various microcontroller architectures and can be configured to work with different compiler toolchains. The framework also provides mechanisms for managing project dependencies and organizing source code.

Testing is a central aspect of Ceedlings. It facilitates the creation and execution of unit tests for embedded software. By integrating with testing frameworks like Unity, Ceedlings enables developers to write tests that run on the host machine or directly on the target hardware. This helps in identifying and fixing bugs early in the development cycle.

Ceedlings is built upon a modular architecture, allowing for customization and extension. It can be integrated into continuous integration pipelines, further automating the build and test processes. The project is open-source and community-driven, with ongoing development and support. Its goal is to provide a robust and user-friendly environment for embedded software development, reducing the complexity typically associated with this domain.
