Custom Board Support Package (BSP) Tutorial: Step 6

< Back to Lab Start

Step 6.1: Generate Code

1

Open the MPLAB® Harmony Configurator (MHC) tool (Tools > Embedded > MPLAB® Harmony Configurator) if it is closed.

Click on the Generate Code button.

Step 6.2: Verify System Configuration

1

Open system_config.h from the Projects pane in the MPLAB X IDE.

navigate_system_config.png

2

Scroll to the Application Configuration section. Here, MHC has generated functions for the pins which are configured in the BSP. These functions can be used in your application.

Step 6.3: Build the Application

1

Compile the project to verify that the generated project compiles without any errors. Click the Clean and Build button. clean_build.png

2

Check the buildlLog in the Output window of MPLAB X IDE. There should not be any build errors.

Step 6.4: Add Application Code

1

Open app.c from the Projects pane in the MPLAB X IDE.

navigate_app_c.png

2

In the function APP_Tasks(), found in app.c, make the changes in the APP_STATE_SERVICE_TASKS case statement as shown below.

        case APP_STATE_SERVICE_TASKS:
        {
            int i,j;
 
            for(i=0;i<10000;i++)
                for(j=0;j<10000;j++);
            BSP_LED_1Toggle();
 
            break;
        }

Step 6.5: Test the Application

Click on the Make and Program button make_program.png to program your target.
After programming is successful you will see LED1 blinking on your target.
