What is the use of Mplab IDE?
The MPLAB IDE provides the ability to: Create and edit source code using the built-in editor. Assemble, compile and link source code. Debug the executable logic by watching program flow with the built-in simulator or in real time with in-circuit emulators or in-circuit debuggers.
What does Mplab stand for?

What is Hitech C compiler?
HI-TECH C compiler. HI-TECH Software is a world class provider of development tools for embedded systems, offering compilers featuring Omniscient Code Generation™, whole-program compilation technology, and an Eclipse-based IDE (HI-TIDE™) for 8-, 16-, and 32-bit microcontroller and DSC chip architectures.
How do I set up Mplab?

Which is 32 bit compiler does MPLAB IDE use?
The 32-bit processors are supported by the XC32 compiler. Like the PIC24, they are seldom programmed in assembly language. And also like Like XC16 compiler, there are both free and paid versions of the XC32 compiler — again the difference being the amount of optimization performed — some as much as 50%.
Can you use mplabx with XC32 or C32 compiler?
I don’t recall any noticeable differences compiling with XC32 and C32 when both were supported and we had both installed. MPLabX allows you to have many different compilers installed concurrently and you can just choose which compiler you want to use for each project and configuration.
Are there any free compilers for microcontrollers?
Like XC8, there are both free and paid versions of the XC16 compiler — again the difference being the amount of optimization performed. And finally, there is the 32-bit PIC32 family, with an instruction set derived from the RISC-style MIPS. The newer devices can address up to 2MB of flash memory and 512K of data.
