MIKROE, the embedded solutions company that cuts development time by providing innovative hardware and software products based on proven standards, has released a new version of its powerful NECTO Multi-Architectural IDE, delivering direct AI assistance for writing embedded code or reviewing complex functions at the click of a mouse. Also, support for 530 new MCUs – from Microchip and Infineon – has been added into the company’s CODEGRIP programmer & debugger, industry’s first and only debugger over Wi-Fi.
Integrated into the code editor, NECTO AI Code Assistant enables users to: fix selected code; ask questions about the selected board or MCU, and receive answers tailored to the hardware; setup; auto-generate comments and documentation inline, speeding development workflow; and understand any block of code – an ideal function for onboarding, debugging, or knowledge sharing.
Comments Nebojsa Matic, CEO of MIKROE: “All these functions are available at the click of a button in the new version NECTO Studio 7.4.0. Also, for the first time in the embedded industry, this new IDE integrates a graphical Git client (GUI), designed to help developers visualise and manage their Git repository history in an intuitive way.” This Version Control client features all the tools required for efficient code management.
NECTO Studio 7.4.0 includes Visual AI Code Prompt which generates complex embedded code on real hardware with 99% accuracy, and outputs the code directly into the editor saving time and errors. NECTO Studio now also supports the latest GCC for ARM version 14.2, with expanded support for modern language standards including C++20 and C23, numerous bug fixes, and improved stability in code generation and optimisation. It also brings enhanced support for newer ARM architectures and instruction sets, updated libraries, runtime support, and better linker/assembler integration.
