Glossary
Emulation Memory
Program memory contained within the debugger.
Debugger
Hardware that performs emulation.
Debugger System
The MPLAB ICE 2000 and MPLAB ICE 4000 debugger systems include the pod, pro-
cessor module, device adapter, target board, cables, and MPLAB IDE software. The
PICkit 3 system consists of a pod, a driver (and potentially a receiver) card, target
board, cables, and MPLAB IDE software.
Endianess
The ordering of bytes in a multi-byte object.
Environment – IDE
The particular layout of the desktop for application development.
Environment – MPLAB PM3
A folder containing files on how to program a device. This folder can be transferred to
a SD/MMC card.
Epilogue
A portion of compiler-generated code that is responsible for deallocating stack space,
restoring registers and performing any other machine-specific requirement specified in
the runtime model. This code executes after any user code for a given function,
immediately prior to the function return.
EPROM
Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory. A programmable read-only memory that
can be erased usually by exposure to ultraviolet radiation.
Error File
A file containing error messages and diagnostics generated by a language tool.
Errors
Errors report problems that make it impossible to continue processing your program.
When possible, errors identify the source file name and line number where the problem
is apparent.
Event
A description of a bus cycle which may include address, data, pass count, external
input, cycle type (fetch, R/W), and time stamp. Events are used to describe triggers,
breakpoints and interrupts.
Executable Code
Software that is ready to be loaded for execution.
Export
Send data out of the MPLAB IDE in a standardized format.
Expressions
Combinations of constants and/or symbols separated by arithmetic or logical
operators.
Extended Microcontroller Mode
In extended microcontroller mode, on-chip program memory as well as external mem-
ory is available. Execution automatically switches to external if the program memory
address is greater than the internal memory space of the PIC17 or PIC18 device.
