2 Updating the Library

An update may be required if the library was previously installed and a new version is available. This section describes how to update the library using CMT in MCC.

  1. Open a new or existing project in the MPLAB X IDE for any device specified in the library release notes. Click the
    icon next to the library name to view the release notes.
  2. Open MCC by clicking Tools → Embedded → MPLAB Code Configurator v5 or click the
    icon.
  3. In the Device Resources panel, click Content Manager.
  4. Once the Content Manager tab opens, navigate to the Select Export/Import Options drop-down. In the drop-down, click Import and select the Diagnostic Library package from the file system. Click Submit to import the library (see Figure 2-1).
