MPLAB X
MPLAB X is the latest version of the MPLAB IDE built by Microchip Technology,MPLAB X Integrated Development Environment (IDE) and is based on the open-source NetBeans platform. It replaced the older MPLAB 8.x series, which had its final release (version 8.92) on July 23, 2013.
MPLAB X is the first version of the IDE to include cross-platform support for macOS and Linux operating systems, in addition to Microsoft Windows. It supports editing, debugging and programming of Microchip 8-bit, 16-bit and 32-bit PIC microcontrollers. It supports automatic code generation with the MPLAB Code Configurator and the MPLAB HarmonyMPLAB Harmony v3, the Embedded Software Development Framework for 32-bit Microcontrollers and Microprocessors Configurator plugins.
MPLAB X supports the following compilers: MPLAB XC8 — C compiler for 8-bit PIC and AVR devicesMPLAB SNAP In-Circuit Debugger (DS50002787A), Microchip, 2018MPLAB® XC Compilers, Microchip MPLAB XC16 — C compiler for 16-bit PIC devices MPLAB XC-DSC - C compiler for dsPIC family of devices MPLAB XC32 — C/C++ compiler for 32-bit MIPS-based PIC32 and ARM-based SAM devices MPLAB SNAP In-Circuit Debugger (DS50002787A), Microchip, 2018 HI-TECH C — C compiler for 8-bit PIC devices (discontinued)HI-TECH C compiler for PIC10/12/16 MCUs (PRO), Microchip SDCC — open-source 8-bit C compilerSetting up the free compiler SDCC at MPLABX, Google Sites
MPLAB 8.x
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. MPLAB is still available from Microchip's archives, but is not recommended for new projects. It is designed to work with MPLAB-certified devices such as the MPLAB ICD 3 and MPLAB REAL ICE, for programming and debugging PIC microcontrollers using a personal computer. PICKit programmers are also supported by MPLAB.
MPLAB supports the following compilers:
MPLAB MPASM Assembler MPLAB ASM30 Assembler MPLAB C Compiler for PIC18 MPLAB C Compiler for PIC24 and dsPIC DSCs MPLAB C Compiler for PIC32 HI-TECH C
