Overview
Microchip Studio is an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) for developing and debugging AVR® and SAM microcontroller applications. It merges all of the great features and functionality of Atmel Studio into Microchip’s well-supported portfolio of development tools to give you a seamless and easy-to-use environment for writing, building and debugging your applications written in C/C++ or assembly code.
Support for 500+ AVR and SAM devices
MPLAB® XC8 compiler support
Vast source code library including drivers, communication stacks, 1,600+ project examples with source code, graphic services and touch functionality through Advanced Software Framework (ASF)
IDE extensions through Microchip Gallery, the online app store for development tools and embedded software from Microchip and third parties
QTouch® Composer to tune capacitive touch designs, validate system performance, monitor power consumption and graph data and trace data in real time
Wireless Composer to configure and test the performance of wireless designs
Integrated compiler to write and debug C/C++ and assembly code
Advanced debugging features including complex data breakpoints, nonintrusive trace support (SAM3 and SAM4 devices), statistical code profiling, interrupt trace/monitoring, polled data tracing (Arm® Cortex®-M0+ based devices), real-time variable tracking with optional timestamping
Integrated editor with visual assist
Project wizard that allows projects to be created from scratch or from a large library of design examples
In-system programming and debugging that provides an interface to all Microchip in-circuit programmers and debuggers
Transparent debug views into CPU and peripherals for easy code development and debugging
Full-chip simulation for an accurate model of CPU, interrupts, peripherals and external stimuli
