Generate Code

By default, the Autosave MCC configuration file option is enabled. That means MPLAB® Code Configurator (MCC) automatically saves your MCC configurations.

Now, generate the code by using MCC. From the left side tab, Resource Management (MCC), go to Project Resources and click on the Generate button.

Examine the updated project tree of the newly generated code.

MCC will include all the MPLAB Harmony library files and generate the code based on the MCC selections. The generated code will add files and folders to your Harmony project. Among the generated code, notice the peripheral library file generated for ADC. 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, PM, EIC, EVSYS, SUPC, and PORT peripherals). MCC also generates the template main file (main.c).
