* Native C Compiler
** [https://developer.apple.com/downloads Xcode Command Line Tools] (Mac):  Log in with an Apple developer id, available for free, and download "Command Line Tools OSX (version number) for Xcode (version number)" (about 160 MB), to avoid downloading the ~4 GB full Xcode developer suite (which also has the command line tools).  You will probably need to add /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/bin to your path to make sure you find gcc and make from the command line; see the [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a2o5sx1xxm4 video on software downloads].  (Instead of using Xcode command line tools, you could use gcc and make from Homebrew or MacPorts.)

=== Book Sample Code ===
<!-- * [[Media:PIC32Quickstart.zip | PIC32Quickstart.zip (November 2015)]] - PIC32Quickstart.zip, as needed in the Quickstart Chapter -->
<!-- * [[Media:Embedded_Computing_V1.1-Mar_2016.zip | Full Book Source Code (March 2016)]] -->
* [[Media:Embedded_Computing_V1.2-Apr_2016.zip | Full Book Source Code (April 2016)]] All of the source code from the book, including the Quickstart_code. Also contains the bootloader source code. 
** For compatibility with the text, we also provide the code for Chapter 1 as a separate file [[Media:PIC32Quickstart.zip | PIC32Quickstart.zip (November 2015)]]. This code is also included in the folder 01_Quickstart within the full book source code.

== Release Notes ==
* Embedded_Computing_V1.2-Apr_2016, April 2016
** Added source code for updated bootloader (running on the PIC32) and bootloader utility (running on the host computer); the primary change was optimization of the code, and clearer code organization.  Both new versions are numbered 5.2 and both are fully compatible with earlier versions.
** Fixed minor mistakes in comments of sample code 6.2 and 7.1.

* Embedded_Computing_V1.1-Mar_2016, March 2016
** Added Harmony makefile to Chapter 20.

* Embedded_Computing_V1.0, November 2015
** Initial release.
