Microcontroller (MCU) design is being simplified with the new MPLAB cloud tools ecosystem available for PIC and AVR devices from Microchip Technology. The free, all-in-one cloud platform combines easy, integrated search and discovery of example code, graphical configuration of projects and code debugging in a collaborative environment. This environment enables enterprise-scale rapid development while simplifying software design for users at all skill levels with an intuitive browser-based interface and cloud connectivity.
Microchip’s MPLAB cloud tools ecosystem incorporates three powerful components designed to modernise the development workflow for PIC and AVR microcontrollers. Users can easily find fully configured and complete source code, projects, examples and software applications using the intuitive catalogue in MPLAB Discover. Selected code and projects instantly populate in the MPLAB Xpress integrated development environment (IDE) for further development.
MPLAB Code Configurator, with its easy-to-use graphical configuration, offers point-and-click options to set up hardware peripherals and further configure projects. Device setup is simplified with optimised peripheral libraries, modular downloads and updates. Developing, debugging and deploying project applications directly from any web browser can be completed without any software installation.
The enhanced MPLAB Xpress IDE delivers a powerful, scalable cloud infrastructure for development and debugging along with community collaboration tools using secure GitHub repository interface controls. Designers have the option to download MPLAB Xpress projects to continue development in MPLAB X IDE. Seamless, quick access to MPLAB Discover and MPLAB Code Configurator is provided from the Xpress toolbar. The MPLAB cloud tools ecosystem, which has been designed as a front end to access these cloud tools based on the development flow the client is in, also has a quickstart guide and overview of tools.
Online security is provided through tight integration with secure public and private GitHub repositories for saving and sharing source code, as well as through seamless import and export of online projects to local storage and secure myMicrochip login enabled for online sessions.
Microchip’s Curiosity and Curiosity nano boards are available to evaluate and program its 8-bit PIC and AVR MCUs and are supported by the MPLAB cloud tools ecosystem. The platform includes an integrated programmer/debugger and requires no additional hardware to get started. The MPLAB cloud tools ecosystem is available for free on Microchip’s website (www.microchip.com/MPLABCloudTools).
