-PlatformIO
-
-PlatformIO Framework is an open source light-weight framework with
-high-level API for cross-platform embedded programming. It lies above popular
-middleware (HAL, SDK) and leverages all its benefits. This approach allowed to
-incorporate different development platforms ranging from 8-bits AVR to powerful
-32-bit ARM into the one embedded ecosystem.
