3 MPLAB X IDE HUT Code Programming Process

In this demonstration, the user can program the HUT firmware to the PIC32CX-BZ2 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 WBZ451 Curiosity Board and PC. Refer to Getting Started with MCHPRT3.
    1. Start “MPLAB X IPE”, then check for PIC32CX1012BC5048 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 HUT.Application.X.production.hex, which is the PIC32CX-BZ2 HUT X.X firmware.
    4. Click Program, then wait one minute for the programming to complete.
