embuild/atool is a mature embedded software development system including a unique make tool with auto-dependency generation, source and object version control, and some useful minor utilities. Support for gnu toolchain (C and assembler) included.
embuild-atool makes a strong distinction between source and output files. Source files are edited by the user, using methods outside of the scope of atool. Output files are in principal created by a single, non-iterative step from the source files. Output files are in principal recreatable at any time from source files. (For efficiency of development, atool supports a variety of methods of incremental building). Output and source files are stored in separate directories.
