Overview

PCB, PCM and PCH Overview


The PCB, PCM and PCH are separate compilers. PCB is for 12 bit opcodes,
PCM is for 14 bit opcodes and PCH is for the 16 and 18 bit PICmicro MCU.
Since much is in common among the compilers, all three are covered in this
reference manual. Features and limitations that apply to only specific controllers
are indicated within. These compilers are specially designed to meet the unique
needs of the PICmicro MCU controllers. These tools allow developers to
quickly design application software for these controllers in a highly readable,
high-level language.
The compilers have some limitations when compared to a more traditional C
compiler. The hardware limitations make many traditional C compilers
ineffective. As an example of the limitations, the compilers will not permit
pointers to constant arrays. This is due to the separate code/data segments in
the PICmicro MCU hardware and the inability to treat ROM areas as data. On
the other hand, the compilers have knowledge about the hardware limitations
and do the work of deciding how to best implement your algorithms. The
compilers can efficiently implement normal C constructs, input/output operations
and bit twiddling operations.

Technical Support
The latest software can be downloaded via the Internet at:
http://www.ccsinfo.com/download.shtml
for 30 days after the initial purchase. For one years worth of updates, you can
purchase a Maintenance Plan directly from CCS. Also found on our web page
are known bugs, the latest version of the software, and other news about the
compiler.
We strive to ensure that each upgrade provides greater ease of use along with
minimal, if any, problems. However, this is not always possible. To ensure that
all problems that you encounter are corrected in a diligent manner, we suggest
that you email us at [email protected] outlining your specific problem along
with an attachment of your file. This will ensure that solutions can be suggested
to correct any problem(s) that may arise. We try to respond in a timely manner
and take pride in our technical support.
