The PICC Compiler for the Microchip PICMicro family
HI-TECH PICC
HI-TECH PICC is a high-performance C compiler for the Microchip PICmicro(R) 10/12/14/16/17 series of microcontrollers. HI-TECH PICC is an industrial-strength ANSI C compiler - not a subset implementation like some other PIC compilers. The PICC compiler implements full ISO/ANSI C, with the exception of recursion. All data types are supported including 24 and 32 bit IEEE standard floating point. HI-TECH PICC makes full use of specific PIC features and using an intelligent optimizer, can generate high-quality code easily rivalling hand-written assembler. Automatic handling of page and bank selection frees the programmer from the trivial details of assembler code.
PICC Compiler
Features of the compiler include:
- ANSI C - full featured and portable
- Reliable - mature, field-proven technology
- Multiple C optimization levels
- An optimizing assembler
- Full linker, with overlaying of local variables to minimize RAM usage
- Comprehensive C library with all source code provided
- Includes support for 24-bit and 32-bit IEEE floating point and 32-bit long data types
- Mixed C and assembler programming
- Unlimited number of source files
- Listings showing generated assembler
- Compatible - integrates into the MPLAB IDE, MPLAB ICD and most 3rd-party development tools
- Runs on multiple platforms: Windows, Linux, UNIX
MPLAB Integration

Embedded Development Environment
PICC can be run entirely from the HI-TECH Professional Development environment†. This environment allows you to manage all of your PIC projects. You can compile, assemble and link your embedded application with a single step.
Optionally, the compiler may be run directly from the command line, allowing you to compile, assemble and link using one command. This enables the compiler to be integrated into third party development environments, such as Microchip's MPLAB IDE.
Real Time Operating System
HI-TECH Salvo is a low cost RTOS suitable for single-chip microcontrollers Salvo can help you to implement new designs quickly, enhance functionality using existing resources and improve real-time performance. It allows for multitasking and uses memory efficiently. Salvo will allow you to minimize costs while maximizing reliability with severly limited RAM and ROM. It provides many additional benefits to the development process and the initial cost can be offset by reduced development time and improved performance
Processors Supported
The PICC compiler supports all of the Microchip PIC10xx, PIC12xx, PIC14000, PIC16xx and PIC17xx series microcontrollers. A partial listing of supported devices is below.

† The HI-TECH Professional Development environment (HPD) is not available under UNIX. The compiler is supplied on CD-ROM, with a Quick Start Guide. The User's Guide is provided on the CD-ROM in Acrobat and HTML formats. If you require a printed manual, it can be ordered at the same time as the compiler.
