Library/Precompiled Object Overview
MPASM Assembler
Microchip Technology’s relocatable macro assembler. MPASM assembler is a
command-line or Windows-based PC application that provides a platform for
developing assembly language code for Microchip’s PICmicro microcontroller (MCU)
families, KeeLoq devices and Microchip memory devices. Generically, MPASM
assembler will refer to the entire development platform including the macro assembler
and utility functions.
MPASM assembler will translate source code into either object or executable code. The
object code created by the assembler may be turned into executable code through the
use of the MPLINK linker.
MPLAB C1X
Refers to both the MPLAB C17 and MPLAB C18 C compilers from Microchip. MPLAB
C17 is the C compiler for PIC17CXXX devices and MPLAB C18 is the C compiler for
PIC18CXXX and PIC18FXXXX devices.
MPLAB ICD and MPLAB ICD 2
Microchip’s in-circuit debuggers, for PIC16F87X and PIC18FXXX devices,
respectively. The ICDs work with MPLAB IDE. The main component of each ICD is the
module. A complete system consists of a module, header, demo board, cables and
MPLAB IDE Software.
MPLAB ICE 2000
Microchip’s in-circuit emulator that works with MPLAB IDE.
MPLAB IDE
The name of the main executable program that supports the IDE.
(IDE5): MPLAB IDE v5.xx has a built-in project manager, editor and simulator (MPLAB
SIM) and support for an emulator or debugger. The MPLAB IDE software resides on
the PC host. The executable (mplab.exe) calls many other files. MPLAB IDE v5.xx
and lower is a 16-bit application.
(IDE6): MPLAB IDE v6.xx has a built-in project manager, editor and support for debug
and programming tools. The MPLAB IDE software resides on the PC host. The
executable calls many other files. MPLAB IDE v6.xx and higher is a 32-bit application.
MPLAB SIM
Microchip’s simulator that works with MPLAB IDE in support of PICmicro MCU devices.
MPLIB Object Librarian
MPLIB librarian is an object librarian for use with COFF object modules created using
either MPASM assembler (mpasm or mpasmwin v2.0) or MPLAB C1X C compilers.
MPLIB librarian will combine multiple object files into one library file. Then the librarian
can be used to manipulate the object files within the created library.
MPLINK Object Linker
MPLINK linker is an object linker for the Microchip MPASM assembler and the
Microchip MPLAB C17 or C18 C compilers. MPLINK linker also may be used with the
Microchip MPLIB librarian. MPLINK linker is designed to be used with MPLAB IDE,
though it does not have to be.
MPLINK linker will combine object files and libraries to create a single executable file.
