  5. tool_dockerfiles

    An open collection of development tool Dockerfiles, specifically tailored for embedded software development.

    The approach of creating dedicated containers not only simplifies the management of development environments but also encourages the reuse of tool images. At axem, our team is dedicated to developing tool images that can serve as fundamental building blocks for constructing new development environments. That's why we've made our repository of Dockerfiles open to the community. Open Tool Dockerfiles (OTD) is an open and collaborative repo for storing and sharing Dockerfiles, specifically tailored for embedded software development tools. Our mission is to create a community-driven repository where developers can freely contribute, access, and utilize containerized build systems, debuggers, toolchains and more. We welcome contributions from everyone, so feel free to add new Dockerfiles to the repository.
