3.3 Design Documentation and Relevant Links
The following list contains links to the most relevant documents and software for the PIC16F17146 Curiosity Nano board:
- MPLAB® X IDE - MPLAB X IDE is a software program that runs on a PC (Windows®, Mac OS®, Linux®) to develop applications for Microchip microcontrollers and digital signal controllers. It is named an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) because it provides a single integrated “environment” to develop code for embedded microcontrollers.
- MPLAB® XC Compilers - MPLAB® XC8 C Compiler is available as a free, unrestricted-use download. Microchips MPLAB® XC8 C Compiler is a comprehensive solution for the project’s software development on Windows®, macOS® or Linux®. MPLAB® XC8 supports all 8-bit PIC® and AVR® microcontrollers (MCUs).
- MPLAB® Xpress Cloud-Based IDE - MPLAB Xpress Cloud-Based IDE is an online development environment containing the most popular features of our award-winning MPLAB X IDE. This simplified and distilled application is a faithful reproduction of our desktop-based program, allowing users an easy transition between the two environments.
- MPLAB® Code Configurator - MPLAB Code Configurator (MCC) is a free software plug-in that provides a graphical interface to configure peripherals and functions specific to your application.
- Microchip Sample Store - Microchip sample store where one can order samples of devices.
- MPLAB Data Visualizer - MPLAB Data Visualizer is a program used for processing and visualizing data. The Data Visualizer can receive data from various sources, such as serial ports and the on-board debugger’s Data Gateway Interface, as found on Curiosity Nano and Xplained Pro boards.
- MPLAB Discover - MPLAB Discover is a tool to help you find Microchip example projects and collateral for Microchip devices.
