Ask Slashdot: Best OSS Embedded Development Platform

Posted by samzenpus on from the a-little-help-from-my-friends dept.

AchilleTalon writes "As many of you may know, there are two main competitors on the Windows platform for embedded software development, namely IAR and Keil. By embedded development, I mean development for microprocessors like the well known 8051 and the likes, not mobile platforms which include a complete OS in first place. I am seeking for alternatives to IAR and Keil in the OSS world. Even if I can find pieces of code here and there, I haven't found yet a fully integrated development platform. Does it exist? What do you use?"

    A good IDE helps you read code.

    And that's bad. Good code must be readable on its own. If I need a reverse-engineering environment, it should better be not for things that I, or people on my project, write.
