MikroElektronika Forum

Hi all,

I was not sure which forum to post this on, so I put this here...sorry if wrong one.

I'm alittle confused regarding the MikroC AI for PIC32 vs MikroC Pro PIC32 compilers.

#1. Are they the same compiler? Meaning, code written on one will work on the other? at least the "old" compiler to the AI?
#2. Are the IDE's functionally the same? Meaning, the MikroC is the "old" style, and the NECTO is the new "style?"

I finally got the Fusion for PIC32 v8 (great hardware BTW), and was surprised to see that the MikroC DOES NOT work (ie. program / debug) as-is.

Thanks!

Hi Kam,

We made a new Necto Studio IDE, in which we have implemented SDK 2.0
so that customers can run the same code on all supported architectures.
It uses Artificial Intelligence so we added AI to compiler names.

Bare metal code can be run equally in both of mentioned compilers.
Codes that are written with SDK 1.0 can be opened as Legacy projects in Necto
(mikroC PRO Packages must be installed using Package Manager).
But the opposite direction is not possible: codes written in Necto SDK 2.0 cannot be compiled in old PRO compilers.

Regarding your question about running Fusion for PIC32 v8,
unfortunately, it is not supported by mikroC PRO for PIC32.
But you may write your code in the PRO compiler, and then run Hex manually with CodeGrip Suite.


Kind regards,
Tanja
