3.9.1 TrustZone Getting Started Application on PIC32CM LS00 Curiosity Nano+ Touch Evaluation Kit
Description
The Secure mode application toggles an LED (LED1 toggles when the switch SW1 is pressed) on a timeout basis and the periodicity of the timeout will change from 500 milliseconds to 1 second, 2 seconds, 4 seconds, and back to 500 milliseconds every time the user presses the switch SW1 on the PIC32CM LS60 Curiosity Pro evaluation kit.
The Non-secure application requests the Secure mode application, reads the LED toggling rate and prints on the serial terminal. The LED toggling rate data is transferred to the Non-secure mode application when it requests to Secure application through Non-Secure Callables (NSC).

Hardware Used
Software/Tools Used
This project has been verified to work with the following versions of software tools:
Refer to the Project Manifest present in harmony-manifest-success.yml under
the project folder firmware\src\config\default.
- Refer to the Release Notes to know the MPLAB X IDE and MCC Plug-in version
- Any Serial Terminal application, such as Tera Term/PuTTY terminal application
Due to Microchip regularly updates tools, occasionally issue(s) could be discovered while using the newer versions of the tools. If the project does not seem to work and version incompatibility is suspected. It is recommended to double-check and use the same versions that the project was tested with. To download original version of MPLAB Harmony v3 packages, refer to the document How to Use the MPLAB Harmony v3 Project Manifest Feature (DS90003305).
Setup
- Connect the PIC32CM LS00 Curiosity
Nano+ Touch evaluation kit to the host PC as a USB device through a Type-A male to
micro-B USB cable connected to Micro-B USB (Debug USB) port

Programming Hex File
The pre-built hex file can be programmed by following the below steps.
- Open MPLAB X IDE
- Close all existing projects in IDE, if any project is opened
- Go to
File>Import>Hex/ELF File - In the Import Image File window,
- Create Prebuilt Project,
- Click the Browse button to select the prebuilt hex file
- Select Device as PIC32CM5164LS00048
- Ensure the proper tool is selected under Hardware Tool and click the Next button
- Select Project Name and Folder,
- Select appropriate project name and folder and click the Finish button
- Create Prebuilt Project,
- In MPLAB X IDE, click the Make and Program Device button to program the device
- Follow the steps in Running the Demo section
Programming/Debugging Application Project
- Open the project
(
getting_started_tz_pic32cm_ls00_cnano\firmware\tz_pic32cm_ls00_cnanogroup) in MPLAB X IDE - Ensure
PIC32CM LS00 Curiosity Nanois selected as hardware tool to program/debug the application - Build the code and program the device by clicking on the Make and Program button in MPLAB X IDE tool bar
- Follow the steps in Running the Demo section
Running the Demo
- Open the Tera Term/PuTTY terminal application on the PC (from the Windows® Start menu by pressing the Start button).
- Set the baud rate to 115200.
- An LED (LED1) on the PIC32CM LS00 Curiosity Nano+ Touch evaluation kit toggles on every timeout basis and the default periodicity of the timeout is 500 milliseconds.
- And, the LED toggling rate is displayed on the serial terminal.
- Press the switch SW0 on the PIC32CM LS00 Curiosity Nano+ Touch evaluation kit to change the default periodicity of the timeout to 1 second.
- Every subsequent pressing of the switch
SW1 on the PIC32CM LS00 Curiosity Nano+ Touch evaluation kit changes the periodicity of
the timeout to 2 seconds, 4 seconds, 500 milliseconds, and back to 1 second in cyclic
order.
