Introduction to MPLAB IDE
Updated: Feb 2019
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)
Writing Assembly Programs / and IDE Structure
Create a Project
Editing
Assembling
Linking
Simulation
M:/Microchip/Project1/proj_name.mcp
M:/Microchip/Project2/proj_name.mcp
……...etc.
Source Code containing mnemonics:M:/Microchip/Project1/code_name.asm
M:/Microchip/Project2/code_name.asm……...etc.
*.asm File
*.O (Object) File
*.COD*.HEX
*.err (Error) File*.lst (list) File
BuildAll
Known as MPLAB SIMUses a simulator on the PC toexecute the programNot real-time execution
Debugger
Allows tracing the logical/functionalerrors
Analyze the problem(understand it andsimplify if possible)
Draw a flowchart!
Write the sourcecode usingmnemonics
Execute and debugyour code
File Structure in IDE• Project_name.mcp• Project_name.mcw• Project_name.mcs • code_listing.asm

Source Code• This code loops through
loop1 and toggles PORD• How many times does it
loop? • Set the break point on
line 80 – run the program
• What is the clock speed? • How long does it take
before it toggles?• Note how flag status
