A good C compiler for 18F2450/2550/4550

Hi all,

I want to use some C algorithm in my 2550 and 4550. What is/are the best C compiler/s for they?

I have seen that most of then can be downloaded free but a limited version (2k of program and so on). Can i use gcc or other free? this free compiler has debugger or simulator? or can i use my Pickit 2 to debug it?

Thanks in advance.

C18 from Microchip is an excellent C for the 18F series.

PIC-C from CCS is fine.

Take a look at **broken link removed**. There is a good compiler comparison there.

Best regards.

I prefer PIC C18 as mentioned above rather then CCS

I also guess that you are developing a USB application looking at the part numbers you have given. Microchip provide free USB code examples and libraries for C18 compiler

Just use mplab c18.
The student edition is free and has no code limitation. Only some limitations in optimizations.
It is a great compiler.
Try it, you will not regret.
Hope it helps.

If you want a compiler to 18F series, simple use the C18 from microchip
