4.6 MPLAB Harmony v3 Services - Standard I/O (STDIO), Toolchain Supports

MPLAB Harmony v3 has support for Standard I/O (STDIO). Users can use the standard printf and scanf through the USART module in the hardware using STDIO module.

Similarly, users who are using IAR IDE, can make use of generating the project for the IAR toolchain. In Project Graph > System module the device and project configuration settings for the toolchain are available. Currently XC32, IAR, and KEIL toolchains are available.

Figure 4-11. Toolchain Selection

When selecting the IAR toolchain, the ipcf file will be generated along with the project files.

Note: Users familiar with the IAR IDE support in Atmel START will find this easy to use, because the Atmel START also uses same ipcf file for extending the support to the IAR IDE. Ipcf is a project connection file which is the standard method used by IAR to generate the project from other platforms.
