The ELDK is provided for free with full source code; it is available for PowerPC, ARM and MIPS targets, and for PC/Linux and SPARC/Solaris host environments.

Software Development using git, cogito etc.

The Linux community has developed git, a "directory content manager", and several interface layers for it which are now used as software configuration management (SCM) tools for the development of the Linux kernel. See http://git.or.cz/ for details. These tools are also used for the U-Boot boot loader. Here you can find a collection of information about these tools and their use.
