Use FLASHER Programming Tools for Your Production Environment

Are you managing global development projects across regions, teams, applications, products and processors from several vendors? Do you want to achieve efficient product development, and yet have full freedom to change silicon manufacturer for current and future projects?

Since GCC and LLVM compilers have grown to a degree of maturity, quality, performance and feature richness, there is hardly a justification for proprietary and expensive compilers. There is a trend visible in the market to move away from proprietary compilers, which are partly based on years old technology and are incompatible with every other manufacturer's compiler toolchain.

As the market standardizes on ARM based microcontrollers, many global manufacturing companies begin to standardize their development of embedded systems on the SEGGER Embedded Studio. By standardizing on SEGGER's toolchain, customers are able to vastly improve efficiency and time to market for new products. In one environment, they move freely between all ARM based microcontrollers from all major vendors. To standardize development on one toolchain provides freedom with regards to hardware and silicon vendors, enables reuse of code across projects, and reduces costs for training, maintenance, and managment of licenses.

SEGGER Embedded Studio is a complete toolchain and an excellent enabler for standardization of programming of embedded systems.

Why should I switch to Embedded Studio?

Embedded Studio is an industry leading streamlined and powerful IDE. It is specifically designed for professional embedded development: an all-in-one solution providing stability and a continuous workflow.

What is the difference to other IDEs?

Embedded Studio is created by embedded developers for embedded developers! Software teams at SEGGER use Embedded Studio for all production grade SEGGER software. They supplement the Embedded Studio development, share their experience, and provide feedback and requirements for a 'perfect' embedded development IDE.

Embedded Studio's intuitive user interface is easy to use, works on any PC, MAC or Linux platform and supports all ARM microcontroller devices, including new V8M variants.

Embedded Studio's licensing: The purchase of an Embedded Studio license (associated with your J-Link) entitles the user to install and use all Embedded Studio versions which will have been released within the Support and Update period for an unlimited usage period. To use a version of Embedded Studio after the Support and Update period no license renewal is required.

Embedded Studio's download footprint is small with a straight forward, super fast, no fuss installation. With Embedded Studio there are never feature restrictions or code size limitations, it is a full featured IDE out-of-the-box.

With Embedded Studio the complete tooling source code is available so there is no dependency on the supplier. In addition the Embedded Studio IDE can be used without limitation even when used in "evaluation mode" - non commercial license model.

Is Embedded Studio a professional IDE?

Absolutely. Embedded Studio is created as a professional all-in-one solution to be used from system concept to production. Embedded Studio supports Thread awareness, trace and much more.

Key Features

Cross Platform Support

SEGGER Embedded Studio is available for Windows, MAC OS X and Linux. Its look and feel is similar on all platforms to provide the best experience regardless of the operating system.

Build-in Toolchains

Embedded Studio comes with two toolchains: SEGGER's and GCC, both of which are ready to run.
External toolchains like LLVM, IAR, or the ARM/KEIL compiler can also be used. All toolchains under one proverbial roof means maximum flexibility.

Multi-architecture Support

Embedded Studio is compatible with a wide range of microcontrollers, including Arm, RISC-V, and other popular platforms. As a result, developers can use a single IDE across different projects, making porting and development very easy.

Smallest executable Code

Embedded Studio is designed to reduce code size and improve execution speed, providing developers with code that is optimized for embedded applications. This paves the way for easy creation of fast programs with minimal memory requirements.

Powerful Project Manager

An advanced Project Manager is included with SEGGER Embedded Studio which enables simple management of exctremely large projects and multi-project solutions.

SEGGER Embedded Studio's Package Manager provides access to Support Packages for various ARM MCUs which can be installed on demand and updated when a new version is available.
The Support Packages make starting a new project for new target hardware as simple as clicking a button.

First Class Editor

The first-class Source Code Editor does not only support user-defined syntax highlighting, automatic code indention and matching bracket highlighting, it also provides a code completion feature for symbols, functions and keywords of your application, as well as configurable code and comment templates to easily match your coding and documentation standards. The Editor is highly integrated into the Project Manager for efficient and advanced search and replace functionality in your files, projects and solutions. The behavior of all features is fully user-configurable.

Embedded Studio - Project Importer

Embedded Studio supports the use of external tool chains.
This includes compilers from IAR and Keil.

The feature allows building with the external compiler while at the same time allowing developers to take advantage of the superior Embedded Studio IDE features of managing projects and advanced debugging capabilities.

With this feature any project imported to Embedded Studio will simply build on the original tool chain without changes. Developers can seamlessly and completely migrate to Embedded Studio while still retaining the ability to re-build projects with the former tools during the transition time.

Build-in Toolchains

SEGGER Embedded Studio comes with advanced GCC and LLVM compilers for
ARM C microcontrollers.

Embedded Studio comes with two toolchains: SEGGER's and GCC, both of which are ready to run. External toolchains like LLVM, IAR, or the ARM/KEIL compiler can also be used. All toolchains under one proverbial roof means maximum flexibility.

Feature-packed Debugger

SEGGER Embedded Studio integrates a feature-packed graphical Debugger with enhanced J -Link integration for direct debugging on your target hardware. All of the industry leading J -Link features have been tightly integrated into SEGGER Embedded Studio.

The debugger includes various debugging windows, which make it possible to inspect and manipulate advanced information concerning the running application and its execution, including mixed-mode disassem- bly, source code, an l/O Terminal for semihosting, SWO, SEGGER's Real-Time Transfer, and a scriptable Threads W indow to be used with any (real-time) operating system.

User assistance

  • Ready-made sample projects and project templates
  • Context-sensitive online help with library function lookup
  • Online user guides with extensive step-by-step tutorials
  • User friendly, detailed, and precise error messages and warnings
  • User documentation and the GUI are available in English.

Migration Guide

While imported projects will re-build with the external toolchain out-of-the-box, for GCC (and LLVM) based project build configurations, some manual changes may be required. In some cases the sources are created to be GCC compatible, then you can seamlessly switch between original tool chain and GCC. When the original project is created from a software pack or SDK, it might already come with GCC compatible source files which can replace the former tool chain compatible files.
