Note the following details of the code protection feature on Microchip devices:

• Microchip products meet the specification contained in their particular Microchip Data Sheet.

• Microchip believes that its family of products is one of the most secure families of its kind on the market today, when used in the intended manner and under normal conditions.

• There are dishonest and possibly illegal methods used to breach the code protection feature. All of these methods, to our knowledge, require using the Microchip products in a manner outside the operating specifications contained in Microchip’s Data Sheets. Most likely, the person doing so is engaged in theft of intellectual property.

• Microchip is willing to work with the customer who is concerned about the integrity of their code.

• Neither Microchip nor any other semiconductor manufacturer can guarantee the security of their code. Code protection does not mean that we are guaranteeing the product as “unbreakable.”

Chapter 1. Introducing the PIC32MX Starter Kit

1.1 INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing the Microchip Technology PIC32MX Starter Kit. This kit provides a low-cost, modular development system for Microchip’s new line of 32-bit microcontrollers.

The Starter Kit comes pre-loaded with demonstration software for the user to explore the new features of the PIC32MX. It is also expandable through a modular expansion interface, which allows the user to extend its functionality. The PIC32MX Starter Kit also supplies on-board circuitry for full debug and programming capabilities.

1.2 HIGHLIGHTS

This chapter covers the following topics:

• Kit Contents

• PIC32MX Functionality and Features

• Using the PIC32MX Starter Kit Out of the Box

• PIC32MX Demonstration Program

The preprogrammed example code on the PIC32MX MCU has been included on the PIC32MX Starter Kit CD-ROM for future reference. All project files have been included, so that the code may be used directly to restore the PIC32MX MCU on the Starter Kit to its original state (i.e., if the sample device has been reprogrammed with another program), or so you can use the tutorial code as a platform for further experimentation.

4. On-board crystal for precision microcontroller clocking (8 MHz)

5. USB connectivity for on-board debugger communications

6. PIC18LF4550 USB microcontroller for on-board debugging

7. Orange Debug indicator LED

8. Three push-button switches for user-defined inputs

9. Three user-defined indicator LEDs

10. Connector for connecting various expansion boards (on the underside of board)

For additional details on these features, refer to Chapter 4. “PIC32MX Starter Kit Hard-

ware”.

Introducing the PIC32MX Starter Kit

1.5 USING THE PIC32MX STARTER KIT OUT OF THE BOX

The PIC32MX Starter Kit may be used directly from the box as a demonstration board for the PIC32MX device. The PIC32MX is preprogrammed with the classic “Simon Says” game in the PIC32MX360F512L device (i.e., simon_says_demo.hex) and is ready for immediate use.

1.5.1 How to Play the Game

When the USB cable is plugged into the Starter Kit, the three LEDs start blinking to indicate the start of a new game. Begin the game by pressing one of the switches to choose the level of game difficulty, SW1-SW3 (SW3 is the eastest, SW1 is the hardest). The goal is to imitate the light patterns as long as you can, without getting frazzled. Ultimately, you will make a mistake and all of the LEDs will light up to signal the end of a game. After a brief pause, you can press a switch again to start a new game.

If the Starter Kit is connected to the MPLAB IDE, the game stops. It will be replaced by the MPLAB IDE project that you select when the program button is pressed. The Simon game can be reloaded onto the Starter kit by opening the simon_says_demo.mcw file from the c:\Program Files\Microchip\pic32_solutions\ simon_says_demo directory.

1.6 INSTALLING THE PIC32MX STARTER KIT CD

The Starter Kit CD-ROM contains the MPLAB IDE, MPLAB C32 C Compiler tools, code examples, sample projects, technical documentation, a getting started tutorial and this PIC32MX Starter Kit User’s Guide. When the CD is placed into your CD drive, an automatic installation application will guide you to install the tools and necessary documents.

1.7 PIC32MX DEMONSTRATION PROGRAM

The preprogrammed example code on the PIC32MX has been included on the PIC32MX Starter Kit CD-ROM for future reference. All project files have been included, so that the code may be used directly to restore a PIC32MX to its original state (i.e., if the sample device has been reprogrammed with another program), or so you can use the tutorial code as a platform for further experimentation.

3.3 CREATING A NEW PROJECT

The first step is to create a project and a workspace in the MPLAB IDE. Typically, there is a single project per workspace.

A project contains the files needed to build an application (i.e., source code, header files, library, etc.), and their corresponding build options.

A workspace contains one or more projects, information on the selected device, debug/programmer tool, and MPLAB IDE configuration settings.

MPLAB IDE contains a Project Wizard to help create a new project. It is important, before you start the tasks, to create a folder named “MyProject” as the intended location for the project files (

You will perform the following tasks as you create a new project:

Task 1, Select a Device on page 22.

Task 2, Select the Language Toolsuite on page 23.

Task 3, Name Your Project on page 24.

Task 4, Add Files to Your Project on page 25.

Chapter 4. PIC32MX Starter Kit Hardware

4.1 INTRODUCTION

This chapter describes the hardware features of the PIC32MX Starter Kit.

4.2 HARDWARE FEATURES

PIC32MX STARTER KIT

USER’S GUIDE

The key features of the PIC32MX order given in Figure 1-1 on page 6 for their locations on the board.

Section 1.4 “PIC32MX Functionality and Features”

Starter Kit

are listed below. They are presented in the

. You can refer to

4.2.1 Processor Support

The PIC32MX Starter Kit is designed with a permanently mounted (i.e., soldered) PIC32MX360F512L processor.

4.2.2 Power Supply

There are two ways to supply power to the PIC32MX Starter Kit:

• USB bus power connected to J1.

• An external application board with a regulated DC power supply that provides +5V can be connected to the J2 application board connector that is provided on the bottom side of the board.

Note: The basic PIC32MX Starter Kit does not include an application board and

is intended to be USB-bus powered.

One green LED (D3) is provided to show that the PIC32 microcontroller is powered up.

4.2.3 USB Connectivity

The PIC32MX Starter Kit includes a PIC18LF4550 USB microcontroller, which provides both USB connectivity and support for protocol translation. The PIC18LF4550 is hardwired to the PIC32MX device to provide two types of connectivity:

• I/O pins of PIC18LF4550 to ICSP™ pins of PIC32MX

• I/O pins of PIC18LF4550 to JTAG pins of PIC32MX

The PIC32MX Starter Kit currently uses the JTAG pins of the PIC32MX device for programming and debugging. At the time of initial release, the PIC18LF4550 is loaded with USB bootloader firmware, which permits easy upgrades of connectivity firmware over the USB connection.

PIC32MX Starter Kit User’s Guide

4.2.4 Switches

Push-button switches provide the following functionality:

• SW1: Active-low switch connected to RD6

• SW2: Active-low switch connected to RD7

• SW3: Active-low switch connected to RD13

The switches do not have any debounce circuitry and require the use of internal pullup resistors; this allows you to investigate debounce techniques. When Idle, the switches are pulled high (+3.3V). When pressed, they are grounded.

4.2.5 LEDs

The LEDs, RD0 through RD2, are connected to PORTD of the processor. The PORTD pins are set high to light the LEDs.

4.2.6 Oscillator Options

The installed microcontroller has an oscillator circuit connected to it. The main oscillator uses an 8 MHz crystal (Y2) and functions as the controller’s primary oscillator. Use of an external crystal is not required for PIC32 designs. Your design may use the internal oscillator, if desired.

The PIC18LF4550, at the heart of the USB subsystem, is independently clocked and has its own 8 MHz crystal (Y1).

4.2.7 120-Pin Modular Expansion Connector

The PIC32MX Starter Kit demo board has been designed with a 120-pin modular expansion interface, which allows the board to provide basic generic functionality now, as well as easy extendability to new technologies as they become available.
