Code Composer Studio vs. IAR Embedded Workbench vs. PlatformIO vs. Python Comparison Chart

Code Composer Studio software comprises a suite of tools used to develop and debug embedded applications. The software includes an optimizing C/C++ compiler, source code editor, project build environment, debugger, profiler and many other features. The intuitive IDE provides a single-user interface that takes you through each step of the application development flow. Familiar tools and interfaces let you get started faster than ever before. Code Composer Studio software combines the advantages of the Eclipse software framework with advanced embedded-debug capabilities from TI resulting in a compelling feature-rich development environment for embedded developers.

Professional collaborative platform for embedded development. PlatformIO is a next-generation, collaborative platform for embedded development that enables customers to save resources and time by vastly reducing the expenses and labor associated with creating and maintaining product software. We believe the embedded systems industry desperately needs reinvention. Not only are the IDEs and tools built with technology from the 1990s, but they involve many complex requirements and platform-dependent configurations that turn away talented developers from becoming embedded engineers. The most loved IDE solution for Microsoft Visual Studio Code. A user-friendly and extensible integrated development environment with a set of professional development instruments, providing modern and powerful features to speed up yet simplify the creation and delivery of embedded products. PlatformIO is written in pure Python and doesn't depend on any additional libraries/tools from an operation system.
