Embedded IDEs and frameworks

While the application development for SoCs tends to be quite similar to desktop and server environments, as we saw in the previous chapter, MCU development requires a far more intimate knowledge of the hardware that one is developing for, sometimes down to the exact bits to set in a particular register.

There exist some frameworks that seek to abstract away such details for particular MCU series, so that one can develop for a common API without having to worry about how it is implemented on a specific MCU. Of these, the Arduino framework is the most well-known outside of industrial applications, though there are also a number of commercial frameworks that are certified for production use.

Frameworks such as the Advanced Software Framework (ASF) for AVR and SAM MCUs can be used with a variety of IDEs, including Atmel Studio, Keil µVision, and IAR Embedded Workbench.

A non-exhaustive list of popular embedded IDEs follows:
