MIKROE’s NECTO now includes Microchip's MPLAB XC compilers

This means that designers can craft intricate firmware and optimise code generation across the broad Microchip product platform.

Comments Nebojsa Matic, CEO of MIKROE: “By including this high-level support for Microchip MCUs, designers can compile with ease, whether they are working on a low-power, cost-effective 8-bit application, a precise and efficient 16-bit project – perhaps a robust solution with enhanced performance for automotive electronics - or a high-performance computing design requiring the full computational prowess of 32-bit microcontrollers to build cutting-edge smart appliances.”

NECTO Studio 6.1 also delivers a 50% boost in programming speed for programming over Wi-Fi, thanks to improvements in CODEGRIP – the world’s first and only embedded programmer debugger over Wi-Fi – which have also been included in the NECTO IDE. CODEGRIP can also be used as a wired connection via a USB-C port.

272 additional MCUs from STM and Microchip are also now supported within NECTO Studio 6.1, and the whole development environment has been given a make-over to make it more intuitive and improve the user experience.
