dsPICC dspicc To set up HI-TECH language tools for use in your project: • Select Project>Set Language Toolsuite. In the Select Language Toolsuite dialog,
C Compiler, Assembler, Linker – dsPIC devices
select either the HI-TECH PICC Toolsuite for support of PIC12/14/16 devices or HI-TECH PICC18 Toolsuite for support of PIC18 devices. Click OK or continue by clicking Set Tool Locations.
Note: PICC Lite or Demo users, select the HI-TECH PICC Toolsuite. • If you closed the previous dialog, select Project>Set Language Tool Locations. In
the Set Language Tool Location dialog, find the toolsuite you will be using in the list and click on the first tool in this suite you will be using.
• View the executable path in the Location of Selected Tool text box. If there is no location/path listed, enter one or browse for one.
Note: PICC Lite users, enter/browse to the corresponding executable for the regular HI-TECH tool, i.e., instead of picc.exe, use picl.exe.
• Click OK until all language tool dialogs are closed. For more information, see the HI-TECH web site (http://www.htsoft.com).
