6.1.5 Installed Pack Locations
Packs are placed in a packs subdirectory of the MPLAB X IDE installation. For example, in Windows 10 OS:
C:\Program Files\Microchip\MPLABX\vx.xx\packs
In this subdirectory, packs have to following naming conventions:
- Device Family Packs: <pack_name>_DFP, e.g., ATmega_DFP
- Tool Pack: <hardware_tool_abbreviated name>, e.g., icd4
Packs may be in a user directory if they are placed after an MPLAB X IDE install. For example, in Window 10 OS:
C:\Users\UserName\.mchp-packs
Note: The file structure inside a
pack can change at any time. For more on pack structure, see: www.keil.com/pack/doc/CMSIS/Pack/html/index.html.
