New dsPIC30/33 and PIC24 compilers 5.8.0 are here. This time we bring you support for new MCUs, new libraries, IDE improvements, the Live Update Service and much more.
53 new dsPIC33 and PIC24 microcontrollers from enhanced families are supported from this release. TFT library is improved, and now supports three new controllers: HX8347G, ILI9340 and ILI9481.
For the first time, we added standard headers stdint.h, stdio.h, stdlib.h and string.h to the compiler, making it easy for users of other compilers to port their code to mikroC PRO for dsPIC.
Access the entire RAM memory with the new far pointers to data memory space. Initializer of local variables can now be a variable expression
IDE has been improved as well. We made sure to implement an extra comfort when working with pointers. Code assistant is now available for pointer to structures. When in debug mode just hover the cursor over the pointer, and the hint will appear showing the data it points to. Function pointers show the name of the function to which it refers.
New Live Update tool is just awesome! Whenever we introduce a new feature, add a new library or fix a minor bug, you will be able to instantly upgrade your dsPIC compiler! No more waitings for new compiler releases. We're shifting to a whole new approach which will result in greater dynamics in our communication with you - the community.
There are many fixes and improvements, all enumerated at Specification tab of each compiler webpage
We invite you to download your favorite mikroC, mikroBasic or mikroPascal compiler for dsPIC and make use of the new features.
Yours sincerely,
mikroElektronika
