Generate Code

By default, the Autosave MPLAB® Code Configuration MCC configuration file option is enabled. That means MCC automatically saves your MCC configurations.

Now, generate the code by using MCC. From the left side tab, Resource Management (MCC), go to Project Resources and click on the Generate button.

Examine the generated code.

MCC will include all the MPLAB Harmony library files and generate the code based on the MCC selections. The generated code will add files and folders to your Harmony project as shown.

Among the generated code, notice the Peripheral Library (PLIB) files generated for the I²C1, UART6, and PORT peripherals. Also, notice the generated files for the USART, I²C synchronous drivers, USB High-Speed driver, USB Host middleware, and File System Service and the necessary files for the selected RTOS (FreeRTOS).

MCC also generates the template main file (main_pic32mz.c), the application thread files (app_eeprom_thread.capp_sensor_thread.capp_usb_thread.c, and app_user_input_thread.c) for the EEPROM, sensor, USB, and user input threads.​​
