Summary
The MPLAB X IDE is a software program that runs on a
PC (Windows, Mac OS, Linux) to develop applications
for Microchip's microcontrollers and digital signal
controllers. The MPLAB X IDE brings many changes to
the PIC microcontroller development tool chain. Unlike
previous versions of MPLAB IDE which were developed
completely in-house, MPLAB X IDE is based on the open
source NetBeans IDE from Oracle. The open source
path enablesthe additional of many frequently requested
features very quickly and easily while also providing a
much more extensible architecture to deliver more new
features in the future.
