ADDITIONAL SOFTWARE FOR APPLICATION DEVELOPMENT
The demo application that ships with the PIC24FJ256DA210 Development Board only
demonstrates part of the microcontroller’s capabilities. To take full advantage of the
microcontroller and the development platform, download and install these software
tools from the Microchip web site (if you don’t already have them):
• A Microchip development environment, such as the latest version of MPLAB IDE
• A C compiler for PIC24 microcontrollers, such as the MPLAB C30 compiler
• One or more of the specialized Microchip Application Libraries
1.7.1
Microchip Application Libraries (MALs) provide developers the ability to quickly develop
applications for their products. MALs contain different libraries and stacks supporting
connectivity, communication interfacing and user interfaces.
For example, using the Microchip Graphics Library provides ready-made library objects
and drivers. Adding connectivity to applications is simplified with the MCHPFSUSB
Library (full-speed USB) and/or the Microchip TCP/IP Stack. All of these stacks and
libraries also come with their own demo software and examples, aiding users on how
to integrate these software components into their applications.
Some of the available Application Libraries that will be useful in developing applications
for the development board include:
• Microchip Graphics Library
• MCHPFSUSB Library
• mTouch™ Capacitive Library
• Microchip Memory Disk Drive (MDD) File System Interface Library
• Microchip TCP/IP Stack (with the addition of optional hardware)
Refer to the individual application library web page and documentation for details.
