Microchip Technology Inc. (MCHP) recently introduced the MPLAB Harmony Version 1.0 – a flexible fully integrated firmware development platform for all 32-bit PIC32 microcontrollers (MCUs).
MPLAB Harmony offers the flexibility to use a Real-Time Operating System (RTOS) and provides a framework of software modules that are easy to use and configurable as per specific requirements. It integrates internal and third-party middleware, drivers and peripheral libraries. The developers can simplify and accelerate their PIC32 MCU code development process by reducing common integration bugs, thus accelerating time to market.
MPLAB Harmony helps reduce development time as users can run more than one stack at a time. It offers a fully attuned professional graphics library and significant functional and performance improvements across many Harmony driver libraries. Also, this new software development approach by Microchip is unmatched in the embedded industry. With such innovative and proprietary products, Microchip continues to capitalize on its business potential.
Microchip is one of the fastest growing providers of 16-bit and 32-bit microcontrollers in the world. Over the past few quarters, the microcontroller business of the company has continued to outperform the industry and has enabled it to gain significant market share. Microchip expects to continue this momentum and strengthen its position as the best-performing microcontroller franchise in the industry..
