Ecosystem extends market opportunities for PIC32 developers
27 January 2016
DSP, Micros & Memory
Microchip has created a framework that allows developers of embedded middleware and operating systems to more directly market their offerings to the 32-bit PIC32 microcontroller (MCU) customer base. Those that adopt the MPLAB Harmony Ecosystem Programme also gain early access to the complete and current set of MPLAB Harmony tools.
MPLAB Harmony is a comprehensive 32-bit MCU firmware development framework which integrates licensing, resale and support of Microchip and third-party middleware, drivers, libraries and real-time operating systems. This new programme builds on that framework by offering an open and structured method to become certified as ‘Harmony Compatible,’ using a set of test harnesses, checklists and reference validation points.
By accessing this broader, code-compatible ecosystem when creating complementary value-added software, developers can reduce risks and overall costs, accelerate time to market, and grow their businesses by gaining opportunities to market to thousands of PIC32 MPLAB Harmony users.
The MPLAB Harmony Integrated Software Framework is also supported by Microchip’s free MPLAB Harmony Configurator and MPLAB XC32 Compiler v1.40, all of which operate within Microchip’s MPLAB X Integrated Development Environment (IDE), and all of which are available for free download. MPLAB Harmony and PIC32 MCUs are also supported by a comprehensive set of low-cost development boards.
MPLAB Harmony is available today, and the basic framework is free. Once downloaded, there is a modular menu of free and premium software options. The expanding list of offerings includes RTOS (including FreeRTOS from Real Time Engineers and OPENRTOS from Wittenstein High Integrity Systems); a TCP/IP stack from InterNiche Technologies; an Embedded SSL/TLS library from wolfSSL; and IoT enablement from PubNub, among many other software offerings from vendors such as Micrium, Segger and Express Logic.
