About

MPLAB® X Integrated Development Environment (IDE) is an expandable, highly configurable software program that incorporates powerful tools to help you discover, configure, develop, debug and qualify embedded designs for most of our microcontrollers and digital signal controllers. MPLAB X IDE works seamlessly with the MPLAB development ecosystem of software and tools, many of which are completely free. No need to purchase extra visualizations tools since real-time streaming data can be viewed in Data Visualizer. Pin states can be verified and manipulated with I/O View for fast hardware verification. Save time with useful links to software libraries, datasheets and user guides that are provided automatically. Includes the MPLAB Integrated Programming Environment (IPE) for production-level programming. MPLAB X IDE brings a host of features to help you quickly debug your projects and minimize your development time.
