PlatformIO Labs is the corporate sponsor behind the PlatformIO open-source project. 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.
