3 MPLAB X IDE HUT Code Programming Process

In this demonstration, the user can program the HUT firmware to the PIC32-BZ6 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 PIC32-BZ6 Curiosity Board and PC. Refer to Getting Started with MCHPRT3.
    1. Start “MPLAB X IPE”, then check for PIC32CX2051BZ62132 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 PIC32-BZ6_hut.hex, which is the PIC32-BZ6 HUT X.X firmware.
    4. Click Program, then wait one minute for the programming to complete.
