East - Companion Tool for Building NCS/Zephyr Applications

on YouTube ↗41m

" summary

East is a Python CLI that layers on West and Nordic’s nRF Connect Toolchain Manager to provide automated tool chain installation, a sandboxed development environment (toolchains launched per NCS version inside a container-like sandbox), and release artifact generation that zips builds for every board / hardware revision / build type. It handles multi-version NCS workspaces, passes west build/flash through the toolchain manager, targets Linux, is open source on GitHub, and aims for CI caching of toolchains.
