About PlatformIO

Professional collaborative platform for embedded development. PlatformIO is a next-generation, collaborative platform for embedded development that enables customers to save resources and time by vastly reducing the expenses and labor associated with creating and maintaining product software. We believe the embedded systems industry desperately needs reinvention. Not only are the IDEs and tools built with technology from the 1990s, but they involve many complex requirements and platform-dependent configurations that turn away talented developers from becoming embedded engineers. The most loved IDE solution for Microsoft Visual Studio Code. A user-friendly and extensible integrated development environment with a set of professional development instruments, providing modern and powerful features to speed up yet simplify the creation and delivery of embedded products. PlatformIO is written in pure Python and doesn't depend on any additional libraries/tools from an operation system.

Storyboard
Storyboard
Storyboard is an embedded GUI development framework that accelerates the design and delivery of modern UX for tomorrow’s IoT and wearable devices. With its Rapid Design Import and Iteration Technology, embedded developers around the world are able to create products that offer unmatched GUI experiences (graphics, voice, and audio), uniquely optimized for all operating systems and platforms, including resource-constrained MCU and MPU platforms. Storyboard aligns embedded developers with the iterative change processes of designers — using popular tools like Sketch and Photoshop — helping manufacturers achieve high-quality UX without sacrificing performance or development time. With only a few mouse clicks, developers use Storyboard to visualize changed assets and rapidly assess, accept, or reject elements in a timesaving manner. This accelerated workflow allows teams to refine their products at any stage in their development cycle.

    "This is my go to MCU IDE."

    Posted 2024-10-18

    Pros: 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.

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

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