HI-TECH Enterprise Edition supporting Microchip Technology Inc. -- Now includes the HI-TECH C PRO for the PIC32 MCU Family

HI-TECH Enterprise Edition supporting Microchip Technology Inc. (previously the PICC^™ Enterprise Edition) is the only compiler package available with comprehensive support for all PIC^® microcontrollers and dsPIC^® processors, including the new PIC32 series. This HI-TECH Enterprise Edition package comprises of:

• The HI-TECH C PRO for the PIC10/12/16 MCU Family* compiler supporting all 10/12/14/16 series microcontrollers.
• The PICC-18 PRO* compiler supporting all 18 series microcontrollers.
• The HI-TECH C PRO for the PIC32 MCU Family compiler for the new PIC32 microcontrollers.
• The HI-TECH for dsPIC/PIC24 compiler supporting all PIC24, dsPIC30 and dsPIC33 processors.
• A HI-TECH C JTAG Debug Interface for the PIC32 MCUs ^†.
• Includes printed manuals for HI-TECH C PRO for the PIC10/12/16 MCU Family, PICC-18 PRO, HI-TECH C PRO for the PIC32 MCU Family and HI-TECH for dsPIC/PIC24 compilers.

With over 350 different PIC microcontroller, deciding which to use can often be a challenge. Even when you do decide on a microcontroller, this can later change due to changing project requirements that call for a larger or more sophisticated chip. A change in the microcontroller may mean also buying a new compiler...until now. With HI-TECH Enterprise Edition, there is finally a single product that supports all of Microchip's PIC microcontrollers. Not only does this simplify which compiler to choose, it also eases migration between microcontrollers by having a familiar tool-set.

Integrated Development Environment

The HI-TECH Enterprise Edition fully supports Microchip's development environment (MPLAB^®), in-circuit debuggers and emulators. The compilers can be run from the command line which allows it to be used with Makefiles and other 3rd-party IDEs.

* The HI-TECH Enterprise Edition supporting Microchip Technology Inc. also includes access to the PICC STD and PICC-18 STD.

^† Please Note: HI-TECH Software will release their Eclipse-base IDE, HI-TIDE 3 with support for the HI-TECH C JTAG Debug Interface in the third quarter of 2008. Customers are encouraged to register their compiler so they can be contacted when there are software updates for the HI-TIDE and the HI-TECH C JTAG Debug Interface.
