A popular IDE for Arm-based MCUs from various vendors to use for C++ embedded programming

Hi all,

As a C++ programmer I would like to start using it in the embedded world. For that I wish to be familiar with a popular IDE on which I can write projects for ARM-based MCUs, from different vendors, be it of ST or others, and get help when running across a problem. 

I've some titles in mind such as: IAR and Keil. What are your ideas, please?

Thanks.

  • Hello Ary,

    I have asked the community owner to move the thread, as your original forum was definitely not the right place. Unfortunately, we have no generic IDE forum, so I think that this is the best one you can get for the moment. But we can also move it to the general "Embedded" forum.

    Regarding a test drive with Keil MDK, I'd suggest to download the latest version (v5.34) and either try the MDK-Lite version (free, 32 kB code size max) or test the MDK-Professional version by getting a 30-day trial license here: https://www.keil.com/MDKEvaluationRequest/.

    Kind regards,

    Christopher
