CREATING THE PROJECT

The first step is to create a project and a workspace in MPLAB IDE. Typically, there is

one project in one workspace.

A project contains the files needed to build an application (source code, linker script

files, etc.) along with their associations to various build tools and build options.

A workspace contains one or more projects and information on the selected device,

debug tool and/or programmer, open windows and their location and other MPLAB IDE

configuration settings.

MPLAB IDE contains a Project Wizard to help create new projects. Before starting,

create a folder named Tutorial for the project files for this tutorial (C:\Tutorial is

assumed in the instructions that follow). From the Example Code\Tutorial Code

directory on the Development Kit Software CD-ROM, copy the Eg1_BlinkLed.s file

into this folder.
