3.2 Debugger/Programmer Selection

By default, the external debugger is selected using (J301) jumper settings for the programming pins (PGEC2 and PGED2) of the WFI32E01 Module. The Table 3-3 lists the details of the debugger/programmer selection using the (J301) header.

Note: Use an external debugger such as MPLAB ICD 5, MPLAB PICkit 4, 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 PKOB3 Micro-B USB connector (J302).
