You have no need to install any *IDE* or compile any tool chains. *PlatformIO*
You have **no need** to install any *IDE* or compile any tool chains. *PlatformIO*
has pre-built different development platforms including: compiler, debugger,
uploader (for embedded boards) and many other useful tools.
**PlatformIO** allows developer to compile the same code with different
platforms using only one command
Use whenever. *Run everywhere.*
-------------------------------
*PlatformIO* is written in pure *Python* and **doesn't depend** on any
additional libraries/tools from an operation system. It allows you to use
*PlatformIO* beginning from *PC (Mac, Linux, Win)* and ending with credit-card
sized computers (like *Raspberry Pi*).
Embedded Development. *Easier Than Ever.*
-----------------------------------------
*PlatformIO* is well suited for embedded development and has pre-configured
settings for most popular `Embedded Boards <http://platformio.ikravets.com/#!/boards>`_.
* Colourful command-line output
* Built-in `Serial Port Monitor <http://docs.platformio.ikravets.com/en/latest/userguide/cmd_serialports.html#platformio-serialports-monitor>`_
* Configurable `build -flags/-options <http://docs.platformio.ikravets.com/en/latest/projectconf.html#build-flags>`_
* Automatic **firmware uploading**
* Integration with `development environments (IDE) <http://docs.platformio.ikravets.com/en/latest/ide.html>`_
* Pre-built tool chains, frameworks for the popular `Hardware Platforms <http://platformio.ikravets.com/#!/platforms>`_

The Missing Library Manager. *It's here!*
-----------------------------------------
*PlatformIO Library Manager* is the missing library manager for development
platforms which allows you to organize and have up-to-date external libraries.
* Friendly `Command-Line Interface <http://docs.platformio.ikravets.com/en/latest/librarymanager/index.html>`_
* Modern `Web 2.0 Library Search <http://platformio.ikravets.com/#!/lib>`_
* Open Source `Library Registry API <https://github.com/ivankravets/platformio-api>`_
* Library Crawler based on `library.json <http://docs.platformio.ikravets.com/en/latest/librarymanager/config.html>`_
specification
* Library **dependency management**
* Automatic library updating

Smart Code Builder. *Fast and Reliable.*
----------------------------------------
*PlatformIO Code Builder* is built-on a next-generation software construction
tool named `SCons <http://www.scons.org/>`_. Think of *SCons* as an improved,
cross-platform substitute for the classic *Make* utility.
* Reliable, automatic *dependency analysis*
* Reliable 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 `Library Manager <http://docs.platformio.ikravets.com/en/latest/librarymanager/index.html>`_

Single source code. *Multiple platforms.*
-----------------------------------------
*PlatformIO* allows developer to compile the same code with different
development platforms using the *Only One Command*
`platformio run <http://docs.platformio.ikravets.com/en/latest/userguide/cmd_run.html>`_.
This happens due to
`Project Configuration File <http://docs.platformio.ikravets.com/en/latest/projectconf.html>`_
where you can setup different environments with specific
options: platform type, firmware uploading settings, pre-built framework
and many more.

**PlatformIO** is well suited for **embedded development**. It can:
* Automatically analyse dependency
* Reliably detect build changes
* Build framework or library source code to static library
* Upload firmware to your device
* Lookup for external libraries which are installed via
`Library Manager <http://docs.platformio.ikravets.com/en/latest/librarymanager/index.html>`_
`Project Configuration File (platformio.ini) <http://docs.platformio.ikravets.com/en/latest/projectconf.html>`_
where you can setup different environments with specific options (platform
type, firmware uploading settings, pre-built framework, build flags and many
more).
It has support for many popular embedded platforms like these:
* ``atmelavr`` `Atmel AVR <http://platformio.ikravets.com/#!/platforms/atmelavr>`_
(including Arduino-based boards)
(including *Arduino*-based boards, *Microduino, Raspduino, Teensy*)
* ``timsp430`` `TI MSP430 <http://platformio.ikravets.com/#!/platforms/timsp430>`_
(including MSP430 LaunchPads)
(including *MSP430* LaunchPads)
* ``titiva`` `TI TIVA C <http://platformio.ikravets.com/#!/platforms/titiva>`_
(including TIVA C Series LaunchPads)
