The following list contains links to the most relevant documents and software for the Curiosity Nano Base for Click boards™.

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.
Microchip Studio - Free IDE for the development of C/C++ and assembler code for microcontrollers.
IAR Embedded Workbench® for AVR® - This is a commercial C/C++ compiler available for AVR microcontrollers. There is a 30-day evaluation version and a 4 KB code-size-limited kick-start version available from their website.
Atmel START - Atmel START is an online tool that hosts code examples, helps the user to select and configure software components, and tailors the embedded application in a usable and optimized manner.
Microchip Sample Store - Microchip sample store where can be ordered 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 on-board debugger’s Data Gateway Interface, as found on Curiosity Nano and Xplained Pro boards.
MPLAB® XC Compilers - MPLAB® XC C Compiler is available as a free, unrestricted-use download. Microchips MPLAB® XC C Compiler is a comprehensive solution for the project’s software development on Windows®, macOS® or Linux®. MPLAB® XC supports all PIC® MCUs and dsPIC® Digital Signal Controllers (DSCs).
