Click the “Conf: [default]” category to reveal the general project configuration, such as the project device, related debug/programmer tool, and language tool.
| Categories | The project configuration is set as “default” when created. You can create different configurations by clicking the Manage Configurations button. See Work with Multiple Configurations. |
| Device | This should be the device simulated or the device on the
board. Care should be taken when changing the device, especially to one from a different family, as the pack, hardware tool and compiler will need to be updated. |
| Packs | This is the device family pack (DFP) version for the selected device. The latest version of MPLAB X IDE will contain the latest DFP version. However, you may change to a different version, if available. See Work with Device Packs. |
| Hardware | A supported hardware debug tool (or Simulator) should be selected. See Project Tool Support. |
| Compiler Toolchain | A supported language tool (usually compiler) should be
selected. See Project Tool Support. To get the latest version of an MPLAB XC C compiler, click the “Download Latest” link. See Download Latest MPLAB XC Compilers. |
