Introduction

This document provides detailed information on the evaluation process, setting up the development environment, and application examples. It is designed to assist users in creating products using PIC32CXBZ2 and WBZ45 devices.
Note: This Application Developer’s guide is also applicable for the WBZ451H module. Migrating applications from the WBZ451 to the WBZ451H is a crucial process that requires careful adherence to specific steps and environment configurations. For more details on migration procedure, refer to the WBZ451 to WBZ451H Application Migration chapter.

Users can assess the development platform by executing the Preprogrammed Demo example or by running the Precompiled Application examples. The precompiled application examples consist of both basic and advanced applications. The basic application examples, also known as building blocks, offer users fundamental Bluetooth 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 link.

For developing Zigbee use cases, refer to Zigbee and Multiprotocol (BLE and Zigbee) applications.

It is recommended to run the preprogrammed demo example, and then install the toolchain 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.
