# piklab(1)

IDE for PIC-microcontroller development.

## NAME

piklab - IDE for PIC-microcontroller development.

- **piklab \[Qt-options\] \[KDE-options\] \[file\]**

  ## SYNOPSIS

**Piklab** is an integrated development environment for applications based on Microchip PIC and dsPIC microcontrollers similar to the MPLAB environment. It integrates with several compiler and assembler toolchains (like gputils, sdcc, c18) and with the simulator gpsim. It supports the most common programmers (serial, parallel, ICD2, Pickit2, PicStart+) and debuggers (ICD2).

- These programs follow the usual GNU command line syntax, with long
