MPLAB XC8 GETTINGSTARTED Guide 2013 Microchip Technology 1MPLAB XC8 Getting Started GuideThis document provides a starting point for programmers who are just starting out with the MPLAB XC8 C Compiler, particularly those who are unfamiliar with embedded programming or Microchip following headings are linked to sections in this Guide :Creation of a Project in MPLAB X IDEFoundation CodeCompilationSpecifying Device Configuration BitsAccessing Device RegistersDisabling Peripherals that Share Port PinsDownloading and Running Your CodeImplementing a Main LoopUsing InterruptsConclusionWhile the MPLAB XC8 C Compiler can target hundreds of 8-bit PIC devices, this Guide uses the PIC18F87J11 microcontroller (MCU) with a PICDEM PIC18 Explorer Board. However, the information presented in this document can be used in conjunction with the XC8 C Compiler to create and compile equivalent code for almost any 8-bit MCU and Guide describes using the compiler from the MPLAB X Integrated Development Environment (IDE); however, you can use it from the command-line, as well.
