Announcing edi 1.0.0

Development of embedded systems has become more complex over time and nowadays groups of developers interact with a lot of infrastructure to get the work done. The goal of edi is to facilitate the setup of this infrastructure on the development hosts, on the build servers, on the test infrastructure or wherever else it is needed.

As a key principle edi leverages container technology to build a digital twin of the target hardware on the development host. This boosts productivity and enables simultaneous engineering.

Now, after almost three years of spare time development effort I decided to bump the edi version to 1.0.0!

Here are some highlights of the things you can do with edi:

• Build a cross development LXD container for Raspbian, Debian or Ubuntu.
• Generate pure Debian images for the Raspberry Pi or other hardware.
• Run and debug GUI applications within your LXD development container.

For more insights please visit my blog posts or the comprehensive documentation.

As of today, edi 1.0.0 is available as a Debian package for the following Ubuntu and Debian releases:

• Ubuntu 16.04
• Ubuntu 18.04
• Ubuntu 19.04
• Debian stretch
