VIDEO: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0eYDKION0Bs 5 years ago I founded PlatformIO to solve the problem of multi-platform development in the embedded systems industry. Our unique philosophy gives embedded developers true freedom – personally decide which operating system, integrated development environment, and hardware to use. No more lock-ins to the specific semiconductor toolchains. One open-source ecosystem – multiple architectures, development platforms, and processor families! At PlatformIO, we believe the embedded systems industry desperately needs reinvention. Not only are the IDEs and tools built with technology from the 1990s, but the complex requirements for embedded engineers. We are using modern technology to re-imagine and re-build core components of embedded infrastructure from the ground up. We’re focusing on improving the lives of everyday engineers with a free, open-source, and next-generation tools for professional development.

10. PlatformIO Integration Guide
1. Development Platform → platform.json, dependencies
2. Build & Upload Scripts → pure Python, based on
PlatformIO Core and SCons APIs
3. Board Configuration → building, uploading, debugging
4. Cross-platform Packages → compiler, upload tool,
emulator, debug server
5. Publishing → PlatformIO Registry, JFrog Bintray CDN.

11. ➢ Over 2,000,000 downloads
