3 MPLAB X IDE HUT Code Programming Process

In this demonstration, the user can program the HUT firmware to the PIC32CX-BZ3 device using a PC with the installed MPLAB Integrated Programming Environment (IPE).

Figure 3-1. MPLAB X IPE

Perform the following steps for HUT firmware programming:

  1. Set up the connection between the WBZ351 Curiosity Board and PC. Refer to Getting Started with MCHPRT3.
    1. Start “MPLAB X IPE”, then check for PIC32CX5109BZ31048 in the “Device” text box. If it is not there, check the USB connection (step 1).
    2. Click Apply.
    3. Click Browse to load the wbz351_hut.hex, which is the PIC32CX-BZ3 HUT X.X firmware.
    4. Click Program, then wait one minute for the programming to complete.
