High Level Language
A language for writing programs that is of a higher level of abstraction from the
processor than assembler code. High level languages (such as C) employ a
compiler to translate statements into machine instructions that the target
processor can execute.
ICD
In-Circuit Debugger. MPLAB-ICD is Microchip’s in-circuit debugger for
PIC16F87X devices. MPLAB-ICD works with MPLAB IDE.
ICE
In-Circuit Emulator. MPLAB-ICE is Microchip’s in-circuit emulator that works
with MPLAB IDE. PICMASTER and ICEPIC (Third Party product) are other
ICE devices.
IDE
Integrated Development Environment. An application that has multiple
functions for firmware development. The MPLAB IDE integrates a compiler,
an assembler, a project manager, an editor, a debugger, a simulator and an
assortment of other tools within one Windows application. A user developing
an application can write code, compile, debug and test an application without
leaving the MPLAB IDE desktop.
Identifier
A function or variable name.
Import
Bring data into the MPLAB Integrated Development Environment (IDE) from
an outside source, such as from a hex file.
Initialized Data
Data which is defined with an initial value. In C, int myVar=5; defines a
variable which will reside in an initialized data section.
Internal Linkage
A function or variable has internal linkage if it can not be accessed from
outside the module in which it is defined.
Librarian
A language tool that creates and manipulates libraries. MPLIB is Microchip’s
librarian.
Library
A library is a collection of relocatable object modules. It is created by
assembling multiple source files to object files and then using the librarian to
combine the object files into one library file. A library can be linked with object
modules and other libraries to create executable code.
