MPLAB 8.x is the discontinued version of the legacy MPLAB IDE technology, custom built by Microchip Technology in Microsoft Visual C++. MPLAB supports project management, editing, debugging and programming of Microchip 8-bit, 16-bit and 32-bit PIC microcontrollers. MPLAB only works on Microsoft Windows.
The MPLAB ICD 3 is an in-circuit debugger and programmer by Microchip, and is the latest in the ICD series. [5] The ICD 3 connects to the engineer's PC via USB, and connects to the device via ICSP. [5] The ICD 3 is entirely USB-bus-powered, and is 15x faster than the ICD 2 for programming devices. [5]
The PICkit 2 firmware allows the user to program and debug most of the 8 and 16-bit PICmicro and dsPIC members of the Microchip product line. The PICkit 2 is open to the public, including its hardware schematic, firmware source code (in C language), and application programs (in C# language).
Most PICs that Microchip currently sells feature ICSP (in-circuit serial programming) and/or LVP (low-voltage programming) capabilities, allowing the PIC to be programmed while it is sitting in the target circuit. Microchip offers programmers/debuggers under the MPLAB and PICKit series. MPLAB ICD5 and MPLAB REAL ICE are the current programmers ...
For most Microchip microcontrollers, ICSP programming is performed using two pins, clock (PGC) and data (PGD), while a high voltage (12 V) is present on the Vpp/MCLR pin. Low voltage programming (5 V or 3.3 V) dispenses with the high voltage, but reserves exclusive use of an I/O pin.
The Atmel ICE is the currently supported inexpensive tool to program and debug all AVR devices (unlike the AVRISP/AVRISP mkII, Dragon, etc. discussed below). It connects to and receives power from a PC via USB, and supports JTAG, PDI, aWire, debugWIRE, SPI, SWD, TPI, and UPDI (the Microchip Unified Program and Debug Interface) interfaces.
Microchip Technology was founded in 1987 when General Instrument spun off its microelectronics division as a wholly owned subsidiary. [5] [6] The newly formed company was a supplier of programmable non-volatile memory, microcontrollers, digital signal processors, card chip on board, and consumer integrated circuits.
ICSP programming header; Sparrow [205] ATmega328P Open Home Automation Arduino compatible board designed specifically for RF mesh network experiments. It features 10 I/Os, a 10-pin ISP programming connector, a connector for a standard LCD display (in 4 bit mode) and a connector for a 2.4 GHz RF module. Spider Controller [206]
