ADD A NEW DEVICE TO MPLAB 8.92

[rudy]

Hi there.

After suffering a lot trying to use CUBE IDE and STM32F411CEU6, I decided that these new IDE are all trash..... So, I searched for a new PIC device with more memory so I could rewrite my entire program on an old and reliable IDE + Compiler.

So, I found the PIC18F47Q43, but it is not listed in the devices on PLAB 8.92. Is there a way to add a new device to MPLB 8.92 IDE?

Regards.

You just need a compiler version that has that PIC in it's database.
Once compiled, MPLAB is used to send the code to the programmer (say PICKit3 in my case).

Be SURE to use the 'release' option of the 'build configuration' when using MPLAB !

As Jay says, you can just use this as an editor and programmer, without it
'knowing' about the chip. Obviously you lose things like the simulator if
it doesn't know the chip.
