Arduino IDE

The Arduino Integrated Development Environment (IDE) is a cross-platform application (for Windows, macOS, Linux) that is written in functions from C and C++[2]. It is used to write and upload programs to Arduino compatible boards, but also, with the help of 3rd party cores, other vendor development boards.[3]

The source code for the IDE is released under the GNU General Public License, version 2.[4] The Arduino IDE supports the languages C and C++ using special rules of code structuring.[5] The Arduino IDE supplies a software library from the Wiring project, which provides many common input and output procedures. User-written code only requires two basic functions, for starting the sketch and the main program loop, that are compiled and linked with a program stub main() into an executable cyclic executive program with the GNU toolchain, also included with the IDE distribution.[6] The Arduino IDE employs the program avrdude to convert the executable code into a text file in hexadecimal encoding that is loaded into the Arduino board by a loader program in the board's firmware.[7] By default, avrdude is used as the uploading tool to flash the user code onto official Arduino boards[8].

With the rising popularity of Arduino as a software platform, other vendors started to implement custom open source compilers & tools (cores) that can build and upload sketches to other MCUs that are not supported by Arduino's official line of MCUs.

In October 2019 the Arduino organization began providing early access to a new Arduino Pro IDE with debugging[10] and other advanced features.[11]
