4.2 Firmware Upgrade

New firmware for the CryptoAuth Trust Manager may be available periodically with 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 will be found on the EV10E69A product page.

Two Microchip tools exist for upgrading the firmware of the CryptoAuth Trust Manager development kit. Firmware upgrades are done in the standard way using both tools and are not described in more detail here. Both of these options use the nEDBG on-board debugger. These options are:
  • 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. Older versions of the tool may not recognize the nEDBG debugger or the specific kit information.
