4.2 Firmware Upgrade

New firmware for the CryptoAuth Trust Platform may be released periodically, offering new features or enhancements. In addition, specific applications developed by Microchip may be made available for use with this development board. The latest version of the firmware and information about other applications can be found on the DM320118 product page.

Two Microchip tools are available for upgrading the firmware of the CryptoAuth Trust Platform development kit. Firmware upgrades are performed using standard procedures with both tools, which utilize the on-board nEDBG debugger:
  • MPLAB® X IPE (Integrated Programming Environment) – This tool is provided as part of the MPLAB X IDE download.
  • Microchip Studio – Integrated Design Environment
: Upgrading to the latest version of the tools is recommended, as older versions may not recognize the nEDBG debugger or the specific kit information.
