Software/IDE

• MPLAB® X IDE: MPLAB® X IDE is a software program that runs on a PC (Windows®, Mac OS®, Linux®) to develop applications for Microchip microcontrollers and digital signal controllers. It is called an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) because it provides a single integrated "environment" to develop code for embedded microcontrollers.
• MPLAB® Code Configurator: MPLAB® Code Configurator (MCC) is a free, graphical programming environment that generates seamless, easy-to-understand C code to be inserted into your project. Using an intuitive interface enables and configures a rich set of peripherals and functions specific to your application.
• MPLAB Harmony v3: MPLAB® Harmony v3 is a fully integrated embedded software development framework providing flexible and interoperable software modules that allowing to dedicate your resources to creating applications for our 32-bit PIC® and SAM devices, rather than dealing with device details, complex protocols, and library integration challenges. It works seamlessly with MPLAB X Integrated Development Environment (IDE) and the MPLAB XC32 Compiler to enable a smooth transition and maximum code reuse between PIC32 MCUs and SAM MCUs and MPUs.

  MPLAB® Harmony v3 has drivers, demo code, and Data Visualizer supporting data streaming and advanced debugging.

• Atmel START: Atmel START is an online tool that helps the user to select and configure software components and tailor your embedded application in a usable and optimized manner.
• Microchip Studio: Free IDE for the development of C/C++ and assembler code for microcontrollers.
• MPLAB^® Data Visualizer: Troubleshooting your code's run-time behavior has never been easier. MPLAB® Data Visualizer is a free debugging tool that graphically displays run-time variables in an embedded application. Available as a plug-in for MPLAB X Integrated Development Environment (IDE) or a stand-alone debugging tool, it can receive data from various sources such as the Embedded Debugger Data Gateway Interface (DGI) and COM ports. You can also track your application's run-time behavior using a terminal or graph. To get started with visualizing data, check out the Curiosity Nano Development Platform and Xplained Pro Evaluation Kits.
