Which is better arm ide or atmel ide?


Asked by Henry Stevenson on Dec 05, 2021 FAQ



If you are using ARM, there are many other IDEs. At least when AS7 breaks you can continue working in a more reliable (ARM) IDE. This is one of the benefits of controller chips with multiple sources. You are still tied to Atmel (or NXP, ..) peripherals but the main Tools cover all makes.
Accordingly,
If you are using the Atmel AVR ATMega328P as a microcontroller, then by far the best IDE is the Arduino system along with the Arduino UNO or Nano as a hardware platform (both use the ATMega328P device as a base CPU).
Indeed, Thursday, September 29, 2016 10:32 AM ( permalink ) Atmel Studio is real Microsoft Visual Studio with a bunch of Atmel developed plugins to provide a very nice IDE indeed. I tried it out and everything works well. Since Microchip now owns Atmel, it would be a piece of cake for Microchip to develop a bunch of plugins for PIC parts.
In respect to this,
It seems the Atmel ICE programmer/debugger is only compatible with AVR Studio. Would this be a good route to go rather than MPLAB X IDE ? Where you using Atmel studio with that ?
