NEW! Three Award-Winning Compilers in One

HI-TECH Software’s PICC Enterprise Edition is the only
compiler package available with comprehensive support for all 10/12/14/16/17/18 series PICs and also the new dsPIC processors. PICC Enterprise Edition is a low-cost package that unites our successful PICC, PICC-18 and dsPICC compilers.

With the choice of over 300 different PIC processors, deciding which one to use is a challenge. Even when you do decide, changing project requirements during development often call for a larger or more sophisticated chip. A change in processor can also mean buying a new until now!

With HI-TECH Software’s PICC Enterprise Edition, there is finally a single product that supports ALL of Microchip’s PICmicro processors. Not only does this simplify which compiler to choose, it also eases migration between processors by having a familiar tool-set.

PICC Enterprise Edition is particularly advantageous to existing PICC, PICC-18 and dsPICC customers as the package is a cost-effective way of keeping all of your compilers up-to-date through a single license option. Best of all, upgrades to the full PICC Enterprise Edition are at a special price!

With the strong relationship between HI-TECH Software and Microchip, you can be assured that the PICC Enterprise Edition will be the first to support Microchip’s devices as they become available.

HI-TIDE

Beta 1 of the HI-TIDE v3.xx
series was released on November 2, This is available for PICC compiler owners with extended support and those who own the PICC Enterprise Edition. As the first in a series of releases to provide a quality HI-TECH IDE HI-TIDE for our compilers based on Eclipse, Beta 1 is targeted at the PICC compiler and allows project management, incremental builds, colour coded editing and CVS support.

Beta 2 is set to be released in the New Year with a number of user interface improvements and initial implementation of the C Wiz code wizard for PICC. C Wiz is a development tool that provides
initialization code for on board peripherals.

HOLTEK

A release candidate of HI-TECH C for Holtek MCU is currently undergoing verification ahead of the final release of this new compiler in early With support for the full Holtek MCU family, this compiler features the latest in code generation technology that streamlines programming, yet delivers outstanding code density. The compiler driver and debug output integrates with Holtek's development tools making development a breeze.

Design Tip Give Your Project the Boot!

With flash memory becoming more readily
available in microcontrollers, the possibility of software updates in applications can now be more easily realized. This article is a brief outline on
how to develop a bootloader for a Microchip PIC processor 16F87x . The same procedure, however, could be applied to many other types of
processors 8051, ARM, MSP430, etc. .

Before any coding starts, you should first think about how things are going to be positioned in
program memory. Since the bootloader needs control after reset, it will need to use the reset vector. Since it would be nice to make it easy to
build bootloader compatible programs, it is best if the bootloader is positioned entirely at the start of memory, or, all at the end of memory. On mid-
range PICs, the regular interrupt vector is located at address 0x4. If the bootloader was going to be positioned entirely at the start of memory, it would
