MPLAB Integrated Development Environment (IDE) is a free, integrated toolset for the development of embedded applications on Microchip's PIC and dsPIC microcontrollers.
Versions
MPLAB IDE v8
The current version of MPLAB IDE is version 8. It is a 32-bit application on Microsoft Windows and includes several free software components for application development, hardware emulation and debugging. MPLAB IDE also serves as a single, unified graphical user interface for additional Microchip and third-party software and hardware development tools.
Both Assembly and C programming languages can be used with MPLAB IDE v8. Others may be supported through the use of third-party programs.
Support for MPLAB IDE, along with sample code, tutorials, and drivers can be found on Microchip's website. MPLAB IDE v8 does not support Linux, Unix or Macintosh operating systems.
MPLAB X IDE
MPLAB X is not a new version of the current MPLAB IDE v8 framework but is instead based on Oracle's open-source NetBeans platform. In addition to its predecessor's functionalities and compatibility with Microchip's existing development tools, the new IDE utilises many NetBeans features allowing for user-interface improvements and performance upgrades. This also includes highly-anticipated cross-platform support in MPLAB IDE, allowing development for PIC microcontrollers on Mac OS X and Linux operating systems, in addition to Windows.
The first Final version of MPLAB X is v1.00.
