Use at your own risk.\n\nFeatures may change and stability is not guaranteed.\n\n### 📦 What This Package Provides\n\nThis package provides a PlatformIO platform for PIC microcontrollers (8bit). It interfaces with Microchip's XC8 compiler and MPLAB IPE command-line tool (IPECMD). But it does NOT include the actual MPLAB IPE software nor XC8 compiler.\n\n\n### 🏢 Microchip XC8 \u0026 MPLAB IPE License\nThe XC8 compiler \u0026 MPLAB IPE tools are **proprietary software owned exclusively by Microchip Technology Inc.** You must obtain proper licenses from Microchip to use these tools.\n\n## 🔗 Links\n\n- **[📚 Documentation](https://s-celles.github.io/platform-pic8bit/)** - Complete documentation\n- **[💾 Repository](https://github.com/s-celles/platform-pic8bit/)** - Source code\n- **[🐛 Issues](https://github.com/s-celles/platform-pic8bit/issues)** - Bug reports\n- **[💡 Feature Requests](https://github.com/s-celles/platform-pic8bit/discussions)** - Discussions and feature requests\n- **[📝 Changelog](https://s-celles.github.io/platform-pic8bit/changelog/)** - Release history\n\n## 📄 License\n**platform-pic8bit** is released under the **Apache Licence 2.0** (see [LICENSE](LICENSE) file).\n**Microchip XC8 compiler \u0026 MPLAB IPE Tools**: Proprietary Microchip licenses (separate licensing required)\n\n## Notes\n- This platform is **unofficial** and not supported by Microchip.\n- Make sure XC8 compiler is installed for compiling. \n- Make sure MPLAB X and IPECMD are installed for uploading.\n- **Dependencies are automatically installed** when you install the platform\n\n## 🚀 Quick Start\n\n### Automatic Installation (Recommended)\n\nWhen you install this platform, it will automatically install the required Python dependencies:\n\n```bash\n# Install platform (dependencies installed automatically)\npio platform install file://path/to/platform-pic8bit\n\n# Or install from repository\npio platform install https://github.com/s-celles/platform-pic8bit.git\n```\n\n### Manual Installation\n\nIf automatic installation fails, you can install dependencies manually:\n\n```bash\n# Option 1: Install the whole package (recommended)\npip install -e .\n\n# Option 2: Install individual dependencies\npip install git+https://github.com/s-celles/xc8-wrapper.git\npip install git+https://github.com/s-celles/ipecmd-wrapper.git\n\n# Option 3: Use the setup script\npython setup_dependencies.py\n\n# Option 4: Use the console script (if package is installed)\nsetup-pic8bit-deps\n```\n\n### Development Installation\n\nFor development work:\n\n```bash\n# Clone and install in development mode\ngit clone https://github.com/s-celles/platform-pic8bit.git\ncd platform-pic8bit\npip install -e .[dev]\n\n# Run tests\npytest\n\n# Format code\nblack .\n\n# Type checking\nmypy .\n```\n\n### Prerequisites\n\nBefore using this platform, ensure you have installed:\n\n1. **XC8 Compiler** from Microchip (required for compilation)\n2. **MPLAB X IDE** with IPECMD (required for uploading to device)\n\n### Create Your First Project\n\n```bash\n# Create new project\npio project init --board pic16f876a --project-option \"framework=pic-xc8\"\n\n# Build project\npio run\n\n# Upload to device\npio run -t upload\n```\n- See `requirements.txt` for Python dependencies.\n\n## 🤝 Contributing\n\nContributions welcome!
