Generate Code

When all the previous steps are completed, click on the Save icon to save the MHC configuration.

Save iconClick on the Generate button to generate the code.

Navigate to the Projects tab to view the project tree structure.

Examine the generated code as shown in the accompanying image.

Generated code

MHC will include all the MPLAB Harmony library files and generate the code based on the MHC selections. The generated code will add files and folders to your Harmony project.

Among the generated code, notice the Peripheral Library file generated for AC. Be aware that the same pattern is applied to all the peripheral libraries added to the project (RTC, SERCOM 2 (as I²C), SERCOM 3 (as USART), DMA, AC, PM, EIC, EVSYS, and PORT peripherals). MHC also generates the template main file (main_d21.c).


Build the project by clicking on the Clean and Build icon and verify that the project builds successfully.

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