Step 5: With MHC, Generate Code

1

Click on the Generate Code button or navigate to Generate > Generate Code from the menu bar to start generating code. Save if prompted.

​

Note: As the code is being generated, MPLAB® Harmony Configurator (MHC) displays the progress.

Once this process completes, switch to the MPLAB X IDE window. You may now examine the generated code through the Projects tab. MHC will include all the requisite MPLAB Harmony v3 Framework files and generate the configuration code dynamically based on your MHC selections. MHC will then automatically organize and add the generated code as files and folders to your 32-bit MPLAB Harmony 3 Project.

Among the generated code, the application and library files generated for Lab 3 are:

  • FreeRTOS folder contains all the files required to maintain an RTOS running.
  • tasks.c has been modified to use the xTaskCreate and vTaskStartScheduler functions from FreeRTOS.
  • FreeRTOSConfig.h contains the application-specific configuration of the FreeRTOS component.
  • app_usb

Build the code by clicking on the Clean and Build Main Project Main_Rebuild_Project.png button in MPLAB X and verify that the project builds successfully.

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