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, Intel ARC32, Lattice iCE40,

Use whenever. *Run everywhere.*
-------------------------------
*PlatformIO* is written in pure *Python* and **doesn't depend** on any
additional libraries/tools from an operating system. It allows you to use
*PlatformIO* beginning from *PC (Mac, Linux, Win)* and ending with credit-card
sized computers (`Raspberry Pi <http://www.raspberrypi.org>`_,
`BeagleBone <http://beagleboard.org>`_,
`CubieBoard <http://cubieboard.org>`_).
Embedded Development. *Easier Than Ever.*
-----------------------------------------
*PlatformIO* is well suited for embedded development and has pre-configured
settings for most popular `Embedded Boards <http://platformio.org/boards>`_.
* Colourful `command-line output <https://raw.githubusercontent.com/platformio/platformio/develop/examples/platformio-examples.png>`_
* `IDE Integration <http://docs.platformio.org/en/stable/ide.html>`_ with
*Arduino, Atom, Eclipse, Emacs, Energia, Qt Creator, Sublime Text, Vim, Visual Studio*
* Cloud compiling and `Continuous Integration <http://docs.platformio.org/en/stable/ci/index.html>`_
with *AppVeyor, Circle CI, Drone, Shippable, Travis CI*
* Built-in `Serial Port Monitor <http://docs.platformio.org/en/stable/userguide/cmd_serialports.html#platformio-serialports-monitor>`_ and configurable
`build -flags/-options <http://docs.platformio.org/en/stable/projectconf.html#build-flags>`_
* Automatic **firmware uploading**
* Pre-built tool chains, frameworks for the popular `Hardware Platforms <http://platformio.org/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.org/en/stable/librarymanager/index.html>`_
* Modern `Web 2.0 Library Search <http://platformio.org/lib>`_
* Open Source `Library Registry API <https://github.com/platformio/platformio-api>`_
* Library Crawler based on `library.json <http://docs.platformio.org/en/stable/librarymanager/config.html>`_
specification
* Library **dependency management**
* Automatic library updating

:alt: PlatformIO Library Manager Architecture
Smart Build System. *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.org/en/stable/librarymanager/index.html>`_

:target: http://platformio.org
:alt: PlatformIO Build System Architecture
Single source code. *Multiple platforms.*
-----------------------------------------
*PlatformIO* allows the developer to compile the same code with different
development platforms using only *One Command*
`platformio run <http://docs.platformio.org/en/stable/userguide/cmd_run.html>`_.
This happens due to
`Project Configuration File (platformio.ini) <http://docs.platformio.org/en/stable/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 the most popular embedded platforms:
* `Atmel AVR <http://platformio.org/platforms/atmelavr>`_
* `Atmel SAM <http://platformio.org/platforms/atmelsam>`_
* `Espressif <http://platformio.org/platforms/espressif>`_
* `Freescale Kinetis <http://platformio.org/platforms/freescalekinetis>`_
