MPLAB ICD
Microchip in-circuit debuggers that work with MPLAB X IDE. The ICDs support Flash
devices with built-in debug circuitry. The main component of each ICD is the pod. A
complete system consists of a pod, debug header (with a device-ICD), target board,
cables, and MPLAB X IDE software.
MPLAB X IDE
Microchip’s Integrated Development Environment. MPLAB X IDE comes with an editor,
project manager, and simulator.
MPLAB PM3
A device programmer from Microchip. Programs PIC18 microcontrollers and dsPIC
digital signal controllers. Can be used with MPLAB X IDE or as a stand-alone program-
mer. Replaces PRO MATE II.
MPLAB REAL ICE™ In-Circuit Emulator
Microchip next-generation in-circuit emulator that works with MPLAB X IDE. The
MPLAB REAL ICE emulator supports PIC MCUs and dsPIC DSCs. The main compo-
nent of each ICE is the pod. A complete system consists of a pod, a driver (and, poten-
tially, a receiver) card, cables, and MPLAB X IDE software.
MPLAB SIM
Microchip’s simulator that works with MPLAB X IDE in support of PIC MCU and dsPIC
DSC devices.
MPLIB™ Object Librarian
Microchip’s librarian that can work with MPLAB X IDE. MPLIB librarian is an object
librarian for use with COFF object modules created using either MPASM assembler or
MPLAB C18 C compiler.
MPLINK™ Object Linker
MPLINK linker is an object linker for the Microchip MPASM assembler and the Micro-
chip C18 C compiler. MPLINK linker also may be used with the Microchip MPLIB librar-
ian. MPLINK linker is designed to be used with MPLAB X IDE, though it is not a
necessity.
MRU
Most Recently Used. Refers to files and windows available to be selected from MPLAB
X IDE main pull-down menus.
Native Data Size
For Native trace, the size of the variable used in a Watch window must be of the same
size as the selected device’s data memory: bytes for PIC18 devices and words for
16-bit devices.
Nesting Depth
The maximum level to which macros can include other macros.
Node
MPLAB X IDE project component.
Non-Extended Mode (PIC18 MCUs)
In Non-Extended mode, the compiler will not use the extended instructions nor the
indexed with literal offset addressing.
Non Real Time
Refers to the processor at a breakpoint, or executing single-step instructions, or
MPLAB X IDE being run in simulator mode.
