4 Conclusion

Microchip offers a comprehensive MCU Development Tool Ecosystem through MPLAB, widely used for developing applications with AVR, PIC16/PIC18F, and PIC32CM devices. This ecosystem is also available as MPLAB Tools for VS Code, which is the recommended environment for new project development. While most tool functionalities remain consistent across device families, variations exist in the code configurators: MPLAB Melody and MPLAB Harmony.

This document provides a comparison of their interfaces and features to assist users in migrating to applications using PIC32CM MCUs. It also highlights the available user guides and references that help users get started with these development tools.
