Abstract: During developing the software for spacecraft, there are many tools to use. This paper designs and implements an integrated development environment, which is composed of various components, including project management, editor, syntax checker, compiler, linker and debugger. Now, the IDE is applied to develop the software of spacecraft. As a result, it not only shortens the development cycle, but also improves the software quality. Meanwhile, the result of this paper can be a reference for the development of integrated development environment.

Key words: integrated development environment, embedded software, Eclipse, scalable processor architecture (SPARC)
