5.3 CREATING A PROJECT

The easiest way to create a new project is to select Project>Project Wizard. With the

help of the Project Wizard, a new project and the language tools for building that project

can be created. The wizard will guide you through the process of adding source files,

libraries, linker scripts, etc. to the various “nodes” on the project window. See MPLAB

IDE documentation for more detail on using this wizard. The basic steps are provided

here:

• Select your device (e.g., PIC24FJ128GA010)

• Select a language toolsuite (e.g., Microchip C30 Toolsuite)

• Name the project

• Add application files (e.g., program.c, support.s, counter.asm)

• Add a linker script file (optional) - Most multi-file projects no longer require that

you add a linker script file to your project. See the language tool documentation

for details.

If you do need or want to add a linker script file, default linker scripts directories

are listed below. For some debug tools, an i version of the linker script is

necessary for debugging, e.g., 18F8722i.lkr.

C:\Program Files\Microchip\MPLAB C30\support\gld

C:\pic30_tools\support\gld

MPLAB Object Linker for PIC32MX MCUs (formerly MPLAB LINK32) used with:

• MPLAB Assembler for PIC32MX MCUs (formerly MPLAB ASM32)

C:\Program Files\Microchip\MPLAB ASM32 Suite\Support\ld

• MPLAB C Compiler for PIC32MX MCUs (formerly MPLAB C32)

C:\Program Files\Microchip\MPLAB C32\support\ld

5.4 VIEWING THE PROJECT

After the Project Wizard has created a project, the project and its associated files are

visible in the Project window (View>Project

). Additional files can be added to the project

using the Project window. Right click on any line in the project window tree to pop up a

menu with additional options for adding and removing files.

See MPLAB IDE documentation for more detail on using the Project window.
