# 1 MPLAB® Harmony 3 Reference Applications for PIC32CZ MCUs Overview

This repository contains the MPLAB® Harmony 3 Reference Applications for PIC32CZ MCUs.

Reference Applications for PIC32CZ MCUs are stand alone applications which demonstrates specific features or capabilities of Microchip PIC32CZ MCUs. These applications are developed on Microchip's PIC32CZ MCU development boards/kits.

In addition to having the MCU, the PIC32CZ MCU development boards/kits provide support to exercise the features of MCU through extension hardware, such as displays, communication buses, transceivers, sensors, external memories, etc.

The additional hardware features are available on the PIC32CZ MCU development boards/kits or is available as plug-in through interface headers, such as mikroBUS™ Click or Xplained Pro extensions.

Following are the typical application types in this repository:

- Large feature-rich applications involving integration of several technologies, such as USB, TCP/IP, Wireless, Security, Low Power, RTOS, etc.
- Applications demonstrating certain capabilities of the PIC32CZ MCUs. For example, Low Power applications, etc.
- Applications demonstrating capabilities of Microchip PIC32CZ MCU development boards/kits (Curiosity, Nano, etc.) which allows extending hardware capability through mikroBUS Click or Xplained Pro extensions.
- Getting started applications pertaining to the PIC32CZ MCU products. These getting started applications demonstrates usage of MPLAB Harmony 3 framework with MPLAB Code Configurator (MCC) UI by exercising commonly used peripheral features.

The above application types serve as a reference source to evaluate solutions for PIC32CZ MCUs by developing applications using MPLAB Harmony 3 software framework.

Note:

- The application examples in this repository are an alternative source of reference covering the above types. MPLAB Harmony 3 provides more product-specific examples on peripherals, drivers and middleware technologies. More such examples are available in the product/technology-specific repositories.
- Refer to the MPLAB Harmony 3 GitHub launch page to view the complete list of MPLAB Harmony 3 packages. In each of these packages refer to the underlying `apps` folder for the applications offering.
