25.1 MPLAB Integrated Development
Environment Software
The MPLAB IDE software brings an ease of software
development previously unseen in the 8/16-bit micro-
controller market. The MPLAB IDE is a Windows®
operating system-based application that contains:
⢠A single graphical interface to all debugging tools
- Simulator
- Programmer (sold separately)
- Emulator (sold separately)
- In-Circuit Debugger (sold separately)
⢠A full-featured editor with color-coded context
⢠A multiple project manager
⢠Customizable data windows with direct edit of
contents
⢠High-level source code debugging
⢠Visual device initializer for easy register
initialization
⢠Mouse over variable inspection
⢠Drag and drop variables from source to watch
windows
⢠Extensive on-line help
⢠Integration of select third party tools, such as
HI-TECH Software C Compilers and IAR
C Compilers
The MPLAB IDE allows you to:
⢠Edit your source files (either assembly or C)
⢠One touch assemble (or compile) and download
to PIC MCU emulator and simulator tools
(automatically updates all project information)
⢠Debug using:
- Source files (assembly or C)
- Mixed assembly and C
- Machine code
MPLAB IDE supports multiple debugging tools in a
single development paradigm, from the cost-effective
simulators, through low-cost in-circuit debuggers, to
full-featured emulators. This eliminates the learning
curve when upgrading to tools with increased flexibility
and power.
