6.2.4 Import Other Embedded Projects

MPLAB X IDE can create a project from selected, other embedded projects. There are two methods to import these projects.

Import Project Option

  1. Select File > Import > Other Embedded.
  2. Select from a list of available embedded projects.
  3. Continue to create an MPLAB X IDE project.

New Project Option

  1. Select File > New Project.
  2. Click on Other Embedded under Categories and select from a list of available embedded projects.
  3. Continue to create an MPLAB X IDE project.

This feature imports your existing files into an MPLAB X IDE project.

IAR Embedded Workbench®

The device names used in an IAR project may be slightly different from the device names used in an MPLAB X IDE project. Please verify that the suggested device is correct.

For an MPLAB XC C compiler selected as the toolchain, the following settings in the IAR project are imported into the resulting MPLAB X IDE:

  • Project files
  • Include directories
  • Defined symbols (called "Preprocessor macros" in the MPLAB X IDE project)

You must configure all other compiler settings manually. Consult the MPLAB XC8 C Compiler User’s Guide for AVR MCU (DS-50002750) or MPLAB XC32 C/C++ Compiler User's Guide for PIC32C/SAM MCUs (DS-50002895) for more information.
