Introduction
Introduction
Why change everything?
MPLAB 6-8.x has run its course
IDE feature set showing its age
Difficult to add many requested features
Not easily extensible by 3
rd
parties
Lacking some infrastructure for advanced
high level language development
" A little revolution now and then is a
healthy thing, don't you think?"
Captain Marko Ramius
The Hunt for Red October
Introduction
Rationale
A mature IDE proven through years of use
by thousands of developers worldwide
A modern IDE with all the latest features
Cross platform compatibility
A documented, extensible architecture
It's open source!
Many requested features are already there
Architected from the ground up with
support for advanced high level language
development
Introduction
Rationale
A feature-rich IDE that isn't bloated
A large ecosystem of plug-ins
An IDE that can be used for embedded and
PC development
A project file structure that doesn't require
the IDE (great for external tools)
An IDE that keeps track of changes
A powerful project navigation system
Introduction
Why didn't we use Eclipse like everyone else?
Because everyone else gets in the way of
a good, targeted product
NetBeans is acknowledged by many as
being:
More advanced
Less bloated
Faster
More intuitive (easier to use GUI)
We are NetBeans sole embedded partner
Introduction
Why didn't we use Eclipse like everyone else?

MPLAB
X
Key Features
Color coded syntax highlighting
Live parsing flags errors as you type
Smart code completion makes suggestions and
provides hints as you type
File history to view recent changes and revert,
even without a version control system
Powerful navigation tools: Go to file, Go to type,
Go to symbol, Go to header, Go to declaration
Refactoring tools to intelligently restructure
code
MPLAB
X
Key Features
Automatic code formatting based on user
defined rules
Built-in Diff (can use external too)
Tasks navigator finds code marked with special
comments (user defined) e.g. //TODO, //FIXME
Fully customizable editor: toolbars, toolbar
buttons, windows, window placement
MPLAB
X
Key Features
Built-in support for version
control systems:
Subversion, CVS, Mercurial
others via plug-ins
Built-in support for Bugzilla
issue tracker
Integrated with editor for ease
of navigating issues
MPLAB
X
Projects and Workspaces
Workspaces are gone
Projects contain all relevant information
When you open MPLAB X, the last open
project is loaded
When you open a project, most windows /
tabs are restored to their previous layout
Multiple projects are handled with Project
Groups
MPLAB
X
Debug vs Release
The dreaded Debug/Release combo box is
gone!
Different toolbar buttons used to build and
program for debug versus release
Build and Program (Debug) Build and Program (Release)
(Will say " Default" on release)
MPLAB
X
Upgrading from MPLAB 8
A project conversion utility is built-in
MPLAB 8 projects cannot be opened directly
Project files/structure completely different
Manual conversion easy but time consuming
MPLAB X uses WinUSB/LibUSB drivers rather
than custom drivers in MPLAB 8
8 and X can be installed side by side
Hardware tool drivers must be switched
Switching utility available
Compilers / assemblers are unaffected
Exceptions MPASMAssembler

How to create a new project
Instructor led hands-on exercise
Lab 1
Lab 1
Lab 1
Create a new project
Objective
Create new project with the project wizard
Create new C source file
Add existing files to project to control Explorer 16 LCD
Configure the C compiler tool chain
Build code and debug on the target board
Requirements: Explorer 16 Demo Board with PIC24FJ 128GA010
Click on the New Project icon on the
toolbar, or select File New Project from
the menu
Lab 1
Launch the New Project Wizard
Unlike MPLAB 8, you must use the wizard in MPLAB X because it creates
both the project directory itself as well as an entire hierarchy of
subdirectories that it needs to work properly. Manually creating a project is
not possible.

Select Tool
Select Real ICE
Click
Next >
Select the serial number
that corresponds to the
MPLAB
REAL ICE in-

circuit emulator you wish
to use. If multiple REAL
ICE units are connected to
your PC, you will see
multiple serial numbers.

and choose where
you want the project
directory to be
created
Click

Gotchas platform related errors
Relative paths should use '/' instead of '\':
#include "Graphics/Graphics.h"
'/' works on ALL platforms, including Windows
'\' works ONLY on Windows
Compiler on Linux cannot find files with paths
using '\', which is an escape character in the
Linux Bourne Again Shell (BASH)
Linux is case sensitive
#include <p24fj128ga010.h> won't be
found because filename is p24FJ128GA010.h
