EDGE IDE
The most fundamental need of any software developer is an environment that allows them to create, build, and manage their code in an environment ideal for embedded programming. With today’s schedules, it is not enough to only have a text editor and compiler.
The EDGE IDE manages the projects you build and allows you to move, edit, and compile the pieces that make up your workday. As an Eclipse framework plug-in, the IDE is easy to learn and intuitive to use.

Benefits
Eclipse Framework
The EDGE IDE is a cockpit that enables seamless integration of an infinite array of components such as compilers, debuggers, and analyzers deemed essential for embedded development.
Uses a Common Interface
The EDGE IDE shares the same Eclipse-based user interface. You only have to learn it once.
Plug in Your Own Compiler
Switching compilers is often not an option for projects with legacy code. The EDGE IDE supports multiple toolsets and makes it easy to add support for your own tools.
Version Control Support
The EDGE IDE supports all of the industry standard source code versioning systems including CVS, Subversion, and ClearCase.
Extends the Environment
Add your own Eclipse plug-ins to the EDGE IDE. With hundreds of plug-ins to choose from, you can extend your development environment to do just about anything.
Tools Setting Option
With the tools setting option, developers can easily add or remove command line options without tedious documents or manuals.
Project Wizard for Ease of Configuration
EDGE IDE project wizards assist in creating projects that are specific to a target CPU.
