PlatformIO is an open source ecosystem for IoT development

Cross-platform build system and library manager. Continuous and IDE integration. Arduino, ESP8266 and ARM mbed compatible.

• 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 :ref:`core` and support for the powerful Serial Port Monitor. All advanced instruments without leaving your favorite 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.

Embedded Development. Easier Than Ever.

• Colourful command-line output
• :ref:`IDE Integration <ide>` with Arduino, Atom, CLion, Eclipse, Emacs, Energia, Qt Creator, Sublime Text, Vim, Visual Studio
• Cloud compiling and :ref:`ci` with AppVeyor, Circle CI, Drone, Shippable, Travis CI
• Built-in :ref:`Serial Port Monitor <cmd_device_monitor>` and configurable build :ref:`-flags/-options <projectconf_build_flags>`
• Pre-built toolchains, :ref:`frameworks` for the :ref:`platforms`

Smart Build System. Fast and Reliable.

• Reliable, automatic dependency analysis and 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 :ref:`librarymanager`

The Missing Library Manager. It's here!

• Friendly Command-Line Interface
• Modern Web 2.0 Library Search
• Library dependency management
• Automatic library updating
• It runs on Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux (+ARM).
