1 Introduction to MPLAB IDE

2 What is IDE? Integrated Development Environment (IDE) Collection of integrated programs (tools) to write assembly programs, assemble, execute, and debug programs. Microchip IDE is called MPLAB IDE HighLevel Language (C++, BASIC, etc.) Assembly Language (PIC, Intel, etc.) Machine Language (Binary format)

(tools) to write assembly programs, assemble, execute, and debug programs.

3 Writing Assembly Programs / and IDE Structure M:/Microchip/Project1/proj_name.mcp Create a Project M:/Microchip/Project2/proj_name.mcp...etc. Build All *.asm File Editing Source Code containing mnemonics: M:/Microchip/Project1/code_name.asm M:/Microchip/Project2/code_name.asm...etc. Analyze the problem (understand it and simplify if possible) *.lst (list) File Assembling *.err (Error) File Draw a flowchart! *.O (Object) File Linking Write the source code using mnemonics *.COD *.HEX Simulation Known as MPLAB SIM Uses a simulator on the PC to execute the program Not real-time execution Execute and debug your code Debugger Allows tracing the logical/functional errors

Analyze the problem (understand it and simplify if possible) *.lst (list) File Assembling *.err (Error) File Draw a flowchart! *.O (Object) File Linking Write the source code using mnemonics *.
