2.4 Development Ecosystem

Our development ecosystem includes a TÜV SÜD-certified MPLAB® XC8 compiler and MPLAB Code Configurator (MCC), a free code generation tool to configure the microcontroller, generate APIs, and load middleware libraries. Rapid design prototyping is enabled by the Curiosity Nano development boards, available for most microcontroller families. Microcontrollers across the spectrum from 8-bit and 16-bit to 32-bit support functional safety, although this document targets specifically 8-bit microcontrollers.
