Valid MPLABX-IDE for current FF

[nutilius]

Hi
Could someone explain me which MPLABX IDE I should use o open FF project for PIC18. I'm back after long time to FF, previously used MPLABX 4.15 with MPASMWIN, but now when I try to open project I've received message about not valid (too old) MPLABX IDE.
Current versions of MPLABX doesn't have MPWINASM tools and I dont know what should I do.

Hi Piotr,
MPLABX 5.35 is the last one that supports MPASMWIN.

Does it means that MPLABX 5.35 is tha last version which can be used with FF ?

Probably, I have not tried with a later one.
I assume a rewrite to compile with the XC8 assembler would be needed.

I am currently rewriting the Atmega FF to compile with XC8.

Maybe I'll do it for PIC18 also at some point.

PIC24 is compiled with XC16, so it should be possible use with later MPLABX versions.

Thank you for your explanation. I have small suggestion to the web site for beginners like me. Could you put information, that PIC18 code can be assembled and linked only with MPLABX IDE till ver. 5.35? For someone who is not very experienced with PICs processors and environment, such notice can help.
Thank you once again.
