The MHC includes all the MPLAB Harmony library files and generates the code based on the MHC selections. The generated code adds files and folders to your Harmony project.

Check the peripheral library files generated for Position Decoder (PDEC), TCC0, TC0, TC1, Event System (EVSYS), External Interrupt Controller (EIC), and PORT peripherals. The MHC also generates a template main file.


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

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