UECIDE

What is UECIDE?

UECIDE is a comprehensive Integrated Development Environment (IDE) designed to provide a universal platform for embedded computing. Unlike the Arduino IDE, which is limited to specific board support, UECIDE offers a highly extensible and flexible framework that can accommodate a wide range of available boards with ease. The core of UECIDE's design philosophy is to avoid hard-coding any board or chip-specific details, allowing developers or enthusiast groups to seamlessly integrate support for their boards by simply providing the necessary definitions. This modular approach has enabled the removal of the original Arduino IDE's rigid single-core structure, replacing it with a clean and flexible architecture that separates the cores from the IDE and the boards from the core One of the standout features of UECIDE is its rebranding capabilities. Users can now customize the IDE to match their corporate identity or personal preferences without any programming knowledge. This is achieved through a straightforward process of replacing a few PNG files and text files, allowing for a truly unique and branded development environment Moreover, UECIDE has been designed with cross-platform compatibility in mind. Developers can now build the IDE for various operating systems, including Windows, Linux, and macOS, with a single command, eliminating the need to switch between different platforms to create builds for different target systems

Highlights

• Highly extensible framework that supports a wide range of embedded boards without direct board-level support
• Modular architecture that separates cores, boards, and the IDE, enabling flexible integration and customization
• Streamlined rebranding capabilities through a simple file replacement process, allowing users to create a personalized development environment
• Cross-platform build process, enabling developers to generate IDE builds for multiple operating systems from a single machine
