The mission for Microchip tools is to lower complexity for the developers. Microchip strives to lower the barrier of entry for their MCU products by providing an integrated development platform and a surrounding eco-system that makes evaluation and development easier, and that reduces the time to market for the customers. Atmel Studio is the integrated development platform for developing and debugging Microchip ARM Cortex-M processor-based MCUs. Atmel Studio gives users a seamless and easy-to-use environment to write, build and debug applications written in C/C++ or assembly code. A comprehensive set of peripheral driver examples and open source middleware is provided in Microchip' sSoftware Package. The Microchip SMART ARM Cortex-M7-based MCUs are supported by ARM ecosystem partners on development tools and real-time operating system (RTOS) board support packages (BSPs) accelerating time-to-market. Software development tools are available on Atmel Studio, ARM Keil MDK-ARM and IAR Embedded Workbench. Operating system support includes Express Logic ThreadX, FreeRTOS, Keil® RTX, NuttX and Segger embOS.  All of this put together leads to faster product development and shorter time to market for customers.
