Tutorial

Additional files can be added to the project using the project window. Right click on any

line in the project window tree to pop up a menu with additional options for adding and

removing files.

4.6 CREATING A HEX FILE

To create a hex file for debugging:

• On the Project toolbar, select “Debug” from the Build Configuration drop-down list.

•Select Project>Build All

or right click on the project name in the project window

and select “Build All” from the popup menu.

The project will build (Figure 4-6), and the resulting .hex file will have the same name

as the project (Figure 4-7). The hex file is the code that will be programmed into the

target device.

Note: Although the header file

p24FJ128GA010.h and a linker script file are used

in the project, you do not need to add them to the project; MPLAB IDE will

find them for you.

Note: Depending on the build options selected, your Output window may look dif-

ferent from Figure 4-6 (Project>Build Options>Project

, MPLAB C30 and

MPLAB LINK30 tabs.)
