Numerous development environments are available for embedded applications. Some are organized as specialized solutions that are compatible only with certain development tools, others are designed as stand-alone development environments.

The specialized type is often quite inconvenient because it offers only limited functionalities and is adapted specifically to one CPU architecture.

Stand-alone development environments offer a larger set of functions, but are not well suited to use a variety of development tools. For example, error messages from the compiler must first be loaded with an editor to find the error location manually.

EUROSkit is a comprehensive stand-alone cross-development environment that eliminates the usual weak points of similar systems. It is based on a powerful editor with project manager, and it integrates all development tools. It is highly recommended for developing EUROS-based applications.
