Microchip débuted its next-generation, open-source integrated development environment (IDE) with cross-platform support for Linux, Mac OS and Windows operating systems.
The new MPLAB X IDE introduces a host of high-performance features including the ability to manage multiple projects and tools with simultaneous debugging, an advanced editor, visual call graphs and code completion. MPLAB X also supports a complete portfolio of 8-, 16- and 32-bit microcontrollers, including all 800+ PIC microcontrollers, dsPIC digital signal controllers and memory devices.
The IDE builds on the core benefits of the Oracle-sponsored, open-source NetBeans platform which has an active user community that can contribute a wide range of enhancements and third-party plug-ins. Microchip customers can also take advantage of free NetBeans software components and plug-ins that are available immediately, as well as the capability to customise MPLAB X IDE to match individual development needs.
MPLAB X provides a single, unified graphical interface for Microchip and third-party tools, including the MPLAB ICD 3, PICkit 3 and MPLAB REAL ICE debugger/programmers. Additional features include:
* Import utility for quick and easy migration of projects from the previous MPLAB IDE platform.
* Code completion and context menus via advanced editor.
* Configurable watch window.
* Support for multiple compiler versions, simultaneously.
* Team collaboration tools for bug tracking and source code control.
