What it is
NuEclipse is Nuvoton’s free development environment for creating, building, and debugging NuMicro projects on 64-bit Windows and Linux. The NuMicro 8051 version targets NuMicro 8-bit devices. An ARM version supports NuMicro Cortex-M projects and NuMicro Cortex-A bare-metal projects; listed ARM downloads are version V1.02.029 dated 2025-03-06. Nuvoton lists an SDCC variant for NuMicro 8-bit and a GCC variant for NuMicro Cortex-M, with Nu-Link as the debugger for both. Integrated debugging and flashing are listed. For Cortex-M work, a separate NuMicro Cortex-M Pack for Visual Studio Code supports building, programming, and debugging on Windows and Linux. The maker links to technical support, a technical community, a learning center, FAQs, and technical blogs. Nuvoton was founded in 2008 and is headquartered in Hsinchu, Taiwan. Its security guidance asks for encrypted vulnerability reports and says an initial response may take seven business days.
