What is PlatformIO?

PlatformIO is a pioneering collaborative platform tailored for embedded development, enabling users to save time and resources by drastically reducing the costs and efforts associated with software development and upkeep. The embedded systems industry is in urgent need of a revolutionary solution, as numerous current IDEs and tools are based on obsolete technology from the 1990s, leading to complicated requirements and platform-specific setups that deter talented developers from entering the field of embedded engineering. As the top-rated IDE option for Microsoft Visual Studio Code, it provides a user-friendly and highly modular integrated development environment along with a robust array of professional development tools. These tools are specifically designed to improve both the efficiency and ease of creating and delivering embedded products. Moreover, PlatformIO is developed solely in pure Python, which guarantees its operation without reliance on any external libraries or system tools, thereby simplifying the development process and promoting a more effective workflow. Its dedication to modernizing the landscape of embedded development positions it as an indispensable resource for developers eager to push the boundaries of innovation in this area. By embracing the advantages of such a platform, developers can not only enhance their productivity but also contribute to the evolution of embedded engineering as a whole.

    This is my go to MCU IDE.

    Date: Oct 18 2024
    Summary

    I am sold on this product. We standardized our test lab to write firmware using PlatformIO as our primary IDE.

    Positive

    This works with all MCUs supported by my Company except TMS320 series. The IDE gives us a consistent look and feel between processors and compilers. The documentation is excellent.

    Negative

    If I had to find a con it is that some of the TMS320 is not supported.
