2 MPLAB Development Ecosystem

The MPLAB Development Ecosystem is part of Microchip’s larger MCU Development Tool Ecosystem, which supports customers through all stages of embedded design, from discovery to production. It consists of an IDE, supported compilers, code configurators, programmers/debuggers, and other integrated tools. This ecosystem is also supported in VS Code through the MPLAB Tools. This section provides a comparison of the project development experience for AVR, PIC16/PIC18F, and PIC32CM devices using the MPLAB tool ecosystem.
