Development environment enables easier and more efficient PICmicro system development

Microchip's 32-bit MPLAB Integrated Development Environment provides the ability to edit, compile, debug and emulate embedded designs. Offered at no cost, Microchip claims that the software provides increased code writing efficiency, intuitive graphical user interface, easier interfacing of third party tools, USB to MPLAB In-Circuit Debugger 2 interface, faster operating speed and full memory emulation. MPLAB IDE currently supports Microchip's PIC16 mid-range family and PIC18 family of PICmicro microcontrollers as well as its dsPIC digital signal controllers. Support for other devices will be added in future releases.
Operating under Microsoft Windows, MPLAB IDE supports source code editing, project management, machine code generation from assembly or 'C', fast device simulation, device emulation, and device programming. The system provides access to a full-featured text editor; an easy-to-use project manager; enhanced source level debugging for 'C'; a dynamic status bar to display processor condition; and context sensitive, interactive on-line help.
Because Microchip's development tools operate under the MPLAB IDE umbrella, there is a consistent look and feel. Tools include MPLAB Editor, MPASM Assembler, MPSIM Simulator Software, MPLIB Librarian, MPLINK Linker, MPLAB C17 and MPLAB C18 C compilers, MPLAB ICE 2000 and MPLAB ICE 4000 In-Circuit Emulators, PICSTART Plus Device Programmer, PRO MATE II Universal Device Programmer, and MPLAB In-Circuit Debugger 2.
