The compilers support 8-bit, 16-bit, and 32-bit MCUs/MPUs with advanced code optimization. The ML suite, available as a plugin for MPLAB and VS Code, enables building and deploying ML models for embedded sensing and IoT. Microchip also extended free licensing to its TÜV SÜD-certified functional safety compilers, though certification documentation remains a paid option. Compiler updates and priority technical support are now included at no extra cost. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
