Can I use a different IDE to program the Arduino board?

It is possible to compile programs for the Arduino using other build tools (e.g. Makefiles and/or AVR Studio). You’ll need to configure these to link against the appropriate files in the Arduino core libraries. See the description of the Arduino build process.
