New rev of multi-architectural IDE includes compilers and speeds debug over Wi-Fi

MIKROE has announced that the latest version of its multi-architectural IDE, NECTO Studio 6.1, now includes Microchip's MPLAB XC compilers for 8-, 16- and 32-bit MCUs. This means that designers can craft intricate firmware and optimise code generation across the wide Microchip product platform.

Comments Nebojsa Matic, CEO of MIKROE: "By including this high-level support for Microchip MCUs, designers can compile with ease, whether they are working on a low-power, cost-effective 8-bit application, a precise and efficient 16-bit project – perhaps a robust solution with enhanced performance for automotive electronics - or a high-performance computing design requiring the full computational prowess of 32-bit microcontrollers to build cutting-edge smart appliances."

The IDE also delivers a 50% boost in programming speed for programming over Wi-Fi, thanks to improvements in CODEGRIP – the world's first and only embedded programmer debugger over Wi-Fi – which have also been included in the IDE. CODEGRIP can also be employed as a wired connection via USB-C port.

There are 272 additional MCUs from STM and Microchip that are also now supported within NECTO Studio 6.1, and the whole development environment has been given a make-over to make it more intuitive and enhance the user experience.
