PlatformIO is an open source ecosystem for IoT development. Cross-platform build system and library manager. Continuous and IDE integration. Arduino and MBED compatible. Ready for Cloud compiling.

• PlatformIO IDE - The next generation integrated development environment for IoT. C/C++ Intelligent Code Completion and Smart Code Linter for the super-fast coding. Multi-projects workflow with Multiple Panes. Themes Support with dark and light colors. Built-in Terminal with PlatformIO CLI tool and support for the powerful Serial Port Monitor. All advanced instruments without leaving your favourite development environment.
• Development Platforms - Embedded and Desktop development platforms with pre-built toolchains, debuggers, uploaders and frameworks which work under popular host OS: Mac, Windows, Linux (+ARM)
• Embedded Boards - Rapid Embedded Programming, IDE and Continuous Integration in a few steps with PlatformIO thanks to built-in project generator for the most popular embedded boards and IDE
• Library Manager - Hundreds Popular Libraries are organized into single Web 2.0 platform: list by categories, keywords, authors, compatible platforms and frameworks; learn via examples; be up-to-date with the latest version.

Atmel AVR & SAM, Espressif, Freescale Kinetis, Nordic nRF51, NXP LPC, Silicon Labs EFM32, ST STM32, TI MSP430 & Tiva, Teensy, Arduino, mbed, libOpenCM3, etc.

PlatformIO is written in pure Python and doesn't depend on any additional libraries/tools from an operating system. It allows you to use PlatformIO beginning from PC (Mac, Linux, Win) and ending with credit-card sized computers (Raspberry Pi, BeagleBone, CubieBoard).

PlatformIO is well suited for embedded development and has pre-configured settings for most popular Embedded Boards.

• Colourful command-line output
• IDE Integration with Arduino, Atom, Eclipse, Emacs, Energia, Qt Creator, Sublime Text, Vim, Visual Studio
• Cloud compiling and Continuous Integration with AppVeyor, Circle CI, Drone, Shippable, Travis CI
• Built-in Serial Port Monitor and configurable build -flags/-options
• Automatic firmware uploading
• Pre-built tool chains, frameworks for the popular Hardware Platforms

PlatformIO Library Manager is the missing library manager for development platforms which allows you to organize and have up-to-date external libraries.

• Friendly Command-Line Interface
• Modern Web 2.0 Library Search
• Open Source Library Registry API
• Library Crawler based on library.json specification
• Library dependency management
• Automatic library updating

PlatformIO Code Builder is built-on a next-generation software construction tool named SCons. Think of SCons as an improved, cross-platform substitute for the classic Make utility.

• Reliable, automatic dependency analysis
• Reliable detection of build changes
• Improved support for parallel builds
• Ability to share built files in a cache
• Lookup for external libraries which are installed via Library Manager

PlatformIO allows the developer to compile the same code with different development platforms using only One Command platformio run. This happens due to Project Configuration File (platformio.ini) where you can setup different environments with specific options (platform type, firmware uploading settings, pre-built framework, build flags and many more).

It has support for the most popular embedded platforms:

• Atmel AVR
• Atmel SAM
• Espressif
• Freescale Kinetis
• Nordic nRF51
• NXP LPC
• ST STM32
• Silicon Labs EFM32
• Teensy
• TI MSP430
• TI TIVA C

Frameworks:

• Arduino
• CMSIS
• libOpenCM3
• Energia
• SPL
• mbed
• WiringPi
