Note the following details of the code protection feature on Microchip devices:
CERTIFIED BY DNV
== ISO/TS 16949 ==
• 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.”
Code protection is constantly evolving. We at Microchip are committed to continuously improving the code protection features of our
products. Attempts to break Microchip’s code protection feature may be a violation of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. If such acts
allow unauthorized access to your software or other copyrighted work, you may have a right to sue for relief under that Act.

DEVELOPMENT BOARD
USER’S GUIDE
Chapter 1. Introduction
Thank you for purchasing a Microchip Technology PIC32MX470 Curiosity
Development Board.
The PIC32MX470 Curiosity Development Board includes an integrated
programmer/debugger and requires no additional hardware to get started. Users
can expand functionality through MikroElectronika mikroBUS™ Click™ adapter
boards, add Bluetooth
module, and add audio input/output capability with Microchip audio daughter
boards.
With or without expansion boards, the PIC32MX470 Curiosity Development Board
provides the freedom to develop for a variety of applications, including Internet of
Things (IoT), robotics development, and proof-of-concept designs.
This chapter includes the following topics:
• Kit Contents
• Development Board Functionality and Features
®
connectivity with the Microchip BM64 Bluetooth Audio
1.1 KIT CONTENTS
The PIC32MX470 Family Starter Kit contains the following items:
• One PIC32MX470 Curiosity Development Board
• One on-board PIC32MX470F512H microcontroller
Note: If you are missing any part of the kit, contact a Microchip sales office for
assistance. A list of Microchip offices for sales and service is provided on
