CCS C PIC32 Compiler...

[ELCouz]

After seeing the announcement on the CCS site in 2007 (http://www.ccsinfo.com/newsdesk_info.php?newsdesk_id=87) for the PIC32 series...

Well, what happened to the CCS PIC32 compiler?


Its been a few years.... still nobody cared about the new PIC series?

I think the problem is that it isn't a PIC.

The historical 'point' about the PIC, was that it was a cheap processor, using the Harvard architecture as a way to give good speed at low 'silicon cost' (small chip real-estate needed).
Then CCS gave a way of writing code optimised for this architecture, with 'close to assembler' performance, but much quicker/easier to write.

The PIC32, is a MIPS based processor, so development tools and libraries already existed before it was launched. The need for CCS as a better tool than the MicroChip offerings, never appeared.
If you go PIC32, you probably go Android or FreeRTOS, which both have their own C/C++ assembler available.
It's quite probable that you will still use a 'normal' PIC, with CCS, to do some of the subsidiary I/O, but the PIC32 product is a very different 'world' from the traditional PIC.

Its sad...

IMO nothing is more user friendly and complete (drivers and examples side) than CCS.

That's the main reason I've chosen this compiler.

I think this is why we have a wonderful community for this compiler.

I find mplab less user friendly overall.

PIC32 work only with mplab from what i understand.
