MPLAB extensions are provided by Microchip Technology Inc. for designing, debugging, and programming embedded systems based on their microcontrollers and digital signal controllers.
The MPLAB Extension Pack is a collection of extensions provided as an early access program. We are working hard to improve your experience and appreciate your patience and support during this phase. Features and functionality are in active development and may change without notice. As early adopters, your feedback is invaluable to us. Please report any bugs or suggestions for enhancements.
