It's time for a new NECTO Studio Update! Mikroe software team worked hard in the last 2 months, and the results are here. Another compiler is integrated into NECTO Studio.
Planet Debug has a new feature where you can create your own setup, and mikroSDK 2.0 gets its first update.
Continue reading to see what we have prepared for you.
NEW FEATURES
1. PIC32 ARCHITECTURE INTEGRATED INTO NECTO STUDIO
We have yet another compiler integrated into NECTO Studio! The highlight of this update is integrating 32bit Microchip PIC MCUs. Now besides mikroC AI for ARM and mikroC AI for PIC, you can find one more compiler in NECTO Studio - mikroC AI for PIC32. With all the libraries that are already available in the PRO version of the compiler and with integrated project importer, you can simply continue where you left off from the PRO Compiler in NECTO Studio.
2. PLANET DEBUG - ON REQUEST SETUP
Revolutionary Planet Debug brought the new perspective of remote hardware debugging. You are no longer limited by the hardware you have on your desk. Our NECTO Studio integrated development environment (IDE), combined with our WiFi-enabled CODEGRIP debugger, facilitates real-time streaming that allows you to see your board working in real-time.
Planet Debug is a revolutionary project that continues to improve and we continue to add new features. With the new feature - SETUP REQUEST you can choose hardware that you want in a few simple steps and we will make a setup for you.
Until now, you could work with configurations we chose for you, but now, you can choose your own hardware. Choose the development board of your choice, Click boards™, the MCU Card, and a TFT Board. After you select the hardware you want, we will set it up for you and you can start enjoying a brand new debugging experience.
3. THE FIRST-EVER MIKROSDK UPDATE
World's first SDK which has ARM (32bit) and PIC (8bit) architecture got its first update! It is refurbished with minor fixes, as well as adding support for all new hardware released in the meantime.
