Summary
This article introduces Atmel Studio 6, an integrated development environment (IDE) designed for programming and debugging Atmel ARM Cortex-M and AVR microcontroller applications. It supports development in C/C++ and assembly, offering a user-friendly setup that understands both language syntax and API usage within software frameworks, thereby enhancing programming efficiency and reducing development time.Parts used in the Atmel Studio 6 IDE:
- Atmel ARM Cortex-M microcontroller
- Atmel AVR microcontroller
- C/C++ compiler
- Assembly code support
- Code editor with framework awareness
Atmel Studio 6 – The Integrated Development Environment
Atmel® Studio 6 is the integrated development environment (IDE) for developing and debugging Atmel ARM® Cortex™-M and Atmel AVR®microcontroller (MCU) based applications. The Atmel Studio 6 IDE gives you a seamless and easy-to-use environment to write, build and debug your applications written in C/C++ or assembly code.
Desktop-oriented IDE providers responded by incorporating framework awareness into their products. The IDEs provided code editors that were aware not just of core language syntax but of the application programming interface (API) calls supported by the software frameworks. This helped to deliver on the promise of faster, lower cost programming by giving programmers context-sensitive hints on parameters and functions supported by the framework
