2.2 How the Curiosity Nano Fits Into the MPLAB Tools Ecosystem

When the board connects to the computer for the first time, the operating system will install the driver software. The drivers for the board are included with MPLAB X IDE. Once this is done, when connecting the Curiosity Nano to a host PC through USB, if MPLAB X IDE is open, a Kit Window is opened with several key links for that Curiosity Nano. When creating a new project, the part number on the Curiosity Nano will be detected, as will the debug tool.
