2 MPLAB Code Configurator GUI

The MPLAB Code Configurator (MCC) is a GUI-based tool that provides an easy way to enable, configure and generate codes for various MPLAB Harmony modules. In MPLAB X IDE, the MCC plugin is installed by default.

To update the MCC plugin to the new version for MPLAB Harmony v3, follow these steps:
  1. Open MPLAB X IDE.
  2. Select Tools > Plugins, and then click on the Installed tab. The MCC can be found in the list of installed plugins.
  3. In the Installed tab, if an update is available, an Update button will appear. Click on the Update button to install the latest version of the MCC plugin.
  4. Select Restart Now to apply the updates.

In MPLAB Harmony v2, all modules are arranged in a tree structure, and can be configured by expanding the '+' sign. However, in MPLAB Harmony v3, multiple windows are available to make the configuration easier and intuitive. The following figure shows the MPLAB Code Configurator window.
