Introduction

This document provides detailed information on the evaluation, , setting up the development environment, and application examples. It is designed to assist users in creating the products using PIC32CXBZ3/WBZ35 devices.

Users can assess the development platform by executing the preprogrammed demo example or by running the precompiled appplication examples. The precompiled application examples consist of both basic and advanced applications. The basic application examples, also known as building blocks, offer users with fundamental Bluetooth® Low Energy applications that cover individual concepts such as legacy and extended advertisement and data transfer using a profile and service. The advanced applications demonstrate more complex applications that involve multiple digital/analog peripherals running in parallel while maintaining a Bluetooth Low Energy link.

It is recommended to run the preprogrammed demo example, and then install the tool chain and other application examples. Run some of the precompiled application examples of interest and then start developing the application by choosing the appropriate application example.

The following table provides a list of resources available and a summary of information the sections cover in this documentation.
