Segger’s Embedded Studio is a comprehensive solution for, building, testing, deploying, and managing embedded applications. Because Embedded Studio is an all-in-one solution it creates a smooth, efficient development process, with the robust features that come with the studio. The platform is completely open-source with no restrictions on non-commercial use cases
Toolchains
There are three toolchains in Embedded Studio, SEGGER, GCC, and LLVM, and all are complete and ready to use formats. External toolchains such as IAR or ARM/KEIL compiler are supported. The wide range of toolchains gives the Embedded Studio great flexibility. The J-Link debug technology quickly debugs new applications.
Some of the ready features that save time include,
- Fast startup
- Short loading time,
- Simultaneous setup
Project Importer/External Toolchains
The software supports external toolchains such as the compilers from IAR and Keil, and more. This feature allows the building of applications with the external compiler while simultaneously allowing developers to utilize Embedded Studio’s IDE advanced features for managing projects and debugging capabilities.
Some of those features include
- External toolchain support
- Build configurations for multiple toolchains
- Simple migration to internal toolchains
- Common IDE’s project importer
Project Management
Managing and organizing all in one place. Embedded Studio comes with a project management system, that is flexible enough to realize just about any project. Multiple project solutions, virtual and dynamic folders, and a property inheritance option enable projects to be set up to fit the developer, not be constrained by the software.

- Management of project sources in a single place
- Flexible organization in virtual folders
- Auto-sync within the file system
- Property inheritance
- Composed build configurations
Code Editor
Embedded Studio has a built-in editor that is set up in such a way that it developers more than just text editing for coding. The features provide the developer with many features and options to build efficient and innovative applications.
Some of the features of the code editor that go beyond simple text editing include
- Syntax highlighting
- Search result highlight
- Bracket highlight matching
- Completion of code
- Code formatter
- Code folding
- Code templates
- Navigation ease
- Split window toggling
- Unused code highlighting
- Visual scrollbar
CPU and Devices
The is expansive support for almost any ARM or RISC-V-based device. Using the Project Wizard and J-Link support, most basic projects are initiated easily with a mouse. For comprehensive projects when the hardware is pre-configured there are the Embedded studio Support Packages. These include memory layout, system initialization, and interrupt vectors.

For the past 8 years, I have been writing about embedded technologies, added to my technical, academic, and medical editorial experience, with companies like Elsevier and Cambridge University Press. I tell people to read what I write, not try to pronounce my last name. I am always available for comments and suggestions you can reach me at product-editor@circuitcellar.com and I promise I will take the time to reach back out to you. I live in the North East with my wonderful family.
