BUILDING THE CODE

Building the code consists of the following process:

• Assembling all of the *.c and *.s files to create the respective object files (*.o)

• Linking the object files to create the 3-Stage Voltage Mode.hex and

3-Stage Voltage Mode.cof

output files

The .hex file contains the specific data to program the device. The .cof file contains
additional information to debug at the source code level.

Before building the code, the user must set MPLAB ICD 2 to search for include files
and to reserve space for the extra debug code.
