Based on the powerful open source Free Pascal compiler and the Lazarus integrated development environment (IDE), Ultibo core doesn't require you to gather together components to create a development environment or wrestle with linker script syntax. Everything you need to create and compile working applications is included in the installer [http://ultibo.org/download/ download] so you can create your first embedded application as easily as starting a new project, adding a few lines of code and compiling.

With support for almost all of the Free Pascal RTL functionality including memory, strings, classes, objects, files, threads, sockets and unicode, most of the information and examples in the Free Pascal documentation can be used directly with little or no change. Ultibo core also includes additional APIs that allow direct access to core functionality and support for specific hardware and protocols.
