Atmel Studio

Building applications for specific platforms and checking them for errors before acknowledging they are suitable for production are tasks that many developers have to deal with on a regular basis. When it comes to special devices and components, you can use dedicated tools like Atmel Studio.

Especially created to provide a means of putting together applications based on Atmel ARM Cortex-M and Atmel AVR microcontroller- technologies, this program comes fully equipped for a wide range of tasks. Projects can be built from the ground up, tested and verified within the same environment. Part of the package, the editor facilitates code writing by adding suggestions as soon as some letters of a certain symbol are put down on the canvas. More so, you can begin your work by selecting one of the numerous pre-existing samples.

There is also a dedicated C++ compiler at your disposal to help build your apps faster, as well as a simulator and assembler that work together to make sure the final products are thoroughly tested. To make this complete, the powerful debugger brings a solid set of functions for inspecting the code up close to identify any possible errors. The Visual Assist X extension is integrated in the environment to improve efficiency when it comes to code refactoring and writing. Coupled with the simulator that emulates the central processing unit as well as the input/output modules, all the tools inside Atmel Studio join forces to offer an actual pleasant experience when designing apps.

Since Atmel Studio is a rather specialized software solution and because it requires solid knowledge in order to yield the best results, Atmel Studio is evidently tailored for professionals rather than the larger public.
