PICC-18™ PRO v9.61 ANSI C COMPILER, based on the reliable PICC-18 STD compiler, comes with:

Extracts information from multiple source files at the one time, allowing more intelligent state-of-the-art code generation that:

• Automatically handles memory banking without requiring special qualifiers
• Optimises the size of each pointer variable in your code based on its usage
• Eliminates the need for many non-standard C qualifiers and compiler options
• Produces more optimal interrupt context switching code
• Customises the functionality of the included printf library function
• Is simple to use

This all means you can spend less time worrying about device memory requirements and compiler-specific semantics and more time focusing on your goals.

Runs on multiple platforms including Windows 2000/XP, Linux and Mac OS X.

• integrates into the MPLAB® IDE, MPLAB ICE and most 3rd-party development tools
• includes Library source - for standard libraries and sample code for I/O drivers
• includes macro assembler, linker, preprocessor, and one-step driver

PICC-18 PRO is packaged with:

HI-TECH Priority Access™ (at no extra cost):

HI-TECH Software's 12 month web access to updates and priority technical support.

Embedded Development Environment

HI-TIDE™ 3, a powerful development environment including full project management, a flexible editor and a fast, accurate simulator, provides a fully-featured front end to the PICC-18 PRO.

Optionally, the compiler may be run directly from the command line, allowing you to compile, assemble and link using one command. This enables the compiler to be integrated into third party development environments, such as the MPLAB IDE from Microchip Technology, Inc.

HI-TECH PICC-18 PRO is fully supported in the MPLAB® IDE as a standard toolset.

Processors Supported
The PICC-18 compiler supports all currently available Microchip PIC18 series microcontrollers. A full list can be found here >>>

PICC-18 STDis the latest in a long line of PICmicro compilers from HI-TECH Software, delivering unrivalled code density combined with excellent reliability. Tightly tuned to the PIC18 architecture, it allows firmware development in a fraction of the time, but with no greater use of RAM or ROM, required for conventional assembly language programming.

Compiler
Features of the compiler include:

• ANSI C - full featured and portable
• Efficient - equals or betters hand-written assembler code
• Reliable - mature, field-proven technology
• Modular - includes full object code linker and library manager
• Cost-effective - productivity gains rapidly repay purchase cost
• Compatible - integrates into the MPLAB-IDE, MPLAB-ICE and most 3rd-party development tools
• Library source - for standard libraries and sample code for I/O drivers
• Complete - includes macro assembler, preprocessor and one-step driver

HI-TECH PICC-18 STD allows you to concentrate on developing your application, and eliminates much of the detailed, low-level coding effort. Our commitment to quality customer service ensures that you will have access to timely, accurate technical support when needed.

PICC-18 STD is constantly updated to support new PICmicro devices as they become available, and the ANSI C basis of the compiler protects your code investment.
