MPLAB
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
MPLAB Integrated Development Environment (IDE) is a free, integrated gcc-based toolset for the development of embedded applications employing Microchip's PIC and dsPIC microcontrollers. MPLAB IDE runs as a 32-bit application on Microsoft Windows. It includes a host of free software components for application development and debugging. MPLAB IDE also serves as a single, unified graphical user interface for additional Microchip and third party software and hardware development tools. It supports the free software simulator, hardware debug, and programming tools using a single standardized graphical user interface.
Both Assembly and C programming languages can be used with MPLAB. Others may be supported through the use of third party programs.
Support for MPLAB, along with sample code, tutorials, and drivers can be found on Microchip's website. MPLAB does not support Linux, Unix, or Macintosh based operating systems.
