Pic 32 starter kit

Former Member

hi,

 

I'm working on the PIC32Starter kit, and i want to integrate its schema in a project.

the ICSP header of PIC32MX440 is it indispensable? what is its function?

 

Best regards

  • Hi,

     

    In order to program/debug the application microcontroller (the PIC32MX440 in your case), it is necessary to have a dedicated debug/program microcontroller.

    Most of Microchip startet kits are aimed to enable low cost evaluation / benchmarking of various PICs and therefore integrate the equivalent of a Pickit2 Programmer/debugger on board.

     

    If you use an external programmer/debugger tool (Picki3, ICD3, Real-Ice) to develop your project you can remove the PIC18 which is implemented on the starterkit. In suche case, you need to implement the ICSP connector on your board to be able to connect Microchip programmer/debugger tool.
