Examine the generated code as shown in the accompanying image.

Examine the generated code

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

Among the generated code, notice the Peripheral Library (PLIB) files generated for Timer Clock 0 (TC0), Two-Wire Interfaces 0 (TWIHS0) (I²C), Universal Synchronous Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter 1 (USART1), Direct Memory Access (DMA), and PORT peripherals. Also, notice the generated files for USART, I²C Drivers, and Timer System Service.

MHC also generates the template main file (main_e70.c), and the application files (app_eeprom.c, and app_sensor.c) for the sensor and EEPROM tasks.

Navigate to the Projects tab to view the project tree structure.

Build the code by clicking on the Clean and Build icon build icon and verify that the project builds successfully.

At this point, you are ready to start implementing your application code.
