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) and many other useful tools.
**PlatformIO** allows developer to compile the same code with different
platforms using only one command :ref:`cmd_run`. This happens due to
:ref:`projectconf` where you can setup different environments with specific
options: platform type, firmware uploading settings, pre-built framework
and many more.
Each platform consists of packages which are located in own repository.
Due to :ref:`cmd_update` command you will have up-to-date development
instruments.
**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
* Lookup for external libraries which are installed via :ref:`librarymanager`
* Upload firmware to your device
