Build embedded systems

Build embedded applications efficiently in a single integrated development environment (IDE).

Building an embedded system — why use SEGGER?

For both new and experienced embedded-systems developers, an integrated development environment (IDE) is critical to the build process, as it incorporates essential components that enable developers to write, build, and debug applications within a single environment.

Embedded Studio is SEGGER’s professional multi-platform all-in-one IDE, tailored to embedded developers. It contains a powerful toolchain consisting of the SEGGER Compiler, smart Linker, and C++ Library. Together, these components ensure fast, efficient builds and optimized code performance.

Furthermore, Embedded Studio includes SEGGER’s highly optimized emRun and emRun++ runtime and emFloat floating-point libraries, all of which have been developed from the ground up for resource-constrained embedded systems.

Building with SEGGER

Embedded Studio is efficient, flexible, and easy to use. It includes all of the tools and features needed for professional C and C++ programming and development. It comes with SEGGER's highly optimzed emRun runtime and emFloat floating-point libraries, as well as the smart Linker —all of which have been developed for the creation of very small yet efficient programs.

Code generated with Embedded Studio has a minimal footprint, which benefits resource-constrained embedded systems, as well as systems where space is less of a factor. Based on SEGGER's benchmark testing, the SEGGER toolchain produces code that is nearly twenty percent more efficient than code produced by GCC.

Detailed information on Embedded Studio

Runtime libraries

Runtime libraries are essential components in software development, providing key functions such as memory management, input/output handling, and math operations. In embedded systems, they help developers optimize performance and reduce code size, ensuring efficient and reliable applications. By offering pre-built routines, runtime libraries save development time and improve overall system efficiency, making them invaluable in creating high-performance, resource-constrained embedded software.

emRun

The C runtime library for embedded applications

emRun enables a high degree of optimization with minimal requirements. It can be used with GCC, LLVM, and other toolchains to provide a runtime library designed and engineered for embedded systems.

emRun++

A complete C++ library, compatible with any toolchain

The emRun++ library is specifically tweaked for embedded systems and applications and implements classes and functions according to C++ standards.

emFloat

The floating-point library

emFloat is a highly optimized plug-and-play component in SEGGER’s Embedded Studio that can replace a default floating-point library, delivering improved performance with less code.

SEGGER Toolchain

A toolchain is crucial in software development, especially for embedded systems. The compiler translates source code into machine code, the linker combines different code modules into a single executable, and the C++ library provides all features that make object-oriented programming (OOP) fast and easy. Together, they simplify the development process, ensuring efficient, optimized code. A well-integrated toolchain reduces errors, simplifies debugging, and enhances performance, making it a key asset for building reliable, high-quality applications in resource-constrained environments.

SEGGER Compiler

Generate optimized C/C++ code for embedded systems

The SEGGER Compiler is a Clang-based C/C++ compiler for Arm microcontrollers that supports the latest C/C++ language features. It generates fast, compact Thumb-2 code optimized for Cortex-M and Cortex-A processors.

SEGGER Linker

Simplified linking and optimized application size

The SEGGER Linker speeds up linking, optimizes application size, simplifies memory layout configuration, and addresses common linking issues in Arm- and RISC-V-based embedded systems.

SEGGER C++ library

Optimized C++ Llbrary for modern embedded systems

The SEGGER C++ Library is a complete standard library tailored for embedded systems. As C++ grows in importance for embedded applications, the library is continually updated to meet modern C++ standards.
