2.1.2 Debugger/Programmer Selection

By default, the external debugger is connected to the programming pins (PGEC2 and PGED2) of the WFI32E01PC/WFI32E03PC module. The following table lists the details of the debugger/programmer selection using the J301 header.

Note: For the jumper connections, refer to the PIC32 WFI32E Curiosity Board User’s Guide (DS50003028).

Important: Use an external debugger such as MPLAB® ICD 5, MPLAB® PICkit™ 5, or MPLAB® Snap for the best programming and debugging experience.

The PIC32 WFI32E Curiosity Board has an on-board debugger (PKOB3) based on the PIC24FJ256GB106 MCU. The on-board debugger enables the user to power, program and debug through the micro-B USB connector (J302).

Table 2-2. Debugger/Programmer Selection
Header Position (J301⁽¹⁾)	Debugger Used	Description
Pins 1-2 and 3-4 shorted	On-board	Selects the on-board debugger.
Pins 1-2 and 3-4 open	External	Selects the external debugger (for more details, refer to ICSP Header).

Note:

For the jumper connections, refer to the PIC32 WFI32E Curiosity Board User’s Guide (DS50003028).
