Getting Started/Quickstart Guide

Quickstart Guide

Build and simulate your first embedded application in under 60 seconds without installing local tools.

No Toolchain Install Needed

EltroNerd compiles your firmware on cloud high-performance build clusters and streams output to your browser live.

1. Select Your Target Microcontroller

In the Cloud IDE top bar, choose your platform (e.g. ESP32 ESP-IDF, Arduino CLI, STM32Cube) and target board (e.g. ESP32 DevKit V1, Raspberry Pi Pico).

2. Write or Import C/C++ Code

The Cloud IDE supports standard C/C++ libraries, RTOS tasks, FreeRTOS headers, and GPIO register manipulation.

cpp

#include <Arduino.h>

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(115200);
  pinMode(LED_BUILTIN, OUTPUT);
  Serial.println("EltroNerd Cloud IDE Initialized!");
}

void loop() {
  digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, HIGH);
  delay(1000);
  digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, LOW);
  delay(1000);
}

3. Build & Simulate

Click the Green Build button to initiate cloud compilation. Use the built-in Hardware Simulator to verify GPIO outputs and serial logs before flashing physical hardware.
