7 Building and Programming the Application

Follow these steps to program the TCM performance application for the PIC32CZ CA and SAM E70/S70/V70/V71 family of devices.

1. Download the TCM performance application from the following link:
   • PIC32CZ CA90 Curiosity Ultra Evaluation Board (Click Here) or access from GitHub
   • SAM E70 Xplained Ultra Evaluation Kit (Click Here) or access from GitHub
2. Open the PIC32CA CA90 TCM performance project (path: <downloaded path>/pic32cz_ca90_tcm_performance/firmware/tcm_performance_pic32cz_ca90_cult.X) from MPLAB X IDE.
   Note: Choose the SAM E70 TCM performance project (path: <downloaded path>/same70_tcm_performance/firmware/tcm_performance_same70_xult.X) for the SAM E70 Xplained Ultra Evaluation Kit.
3. The PIC32CZ CA90 Curiosity Ultra Development Board supports an on-board debugger (PKoB4) for debugging. Connect the Type-A male to micro-B USB cable to the micro-B DEBUG USB port to power and debug the PIC32CZ CA90 Curiosity Ultra Evaluation Board. Connect the External Power Supply (6.5v to 14v) to the J100 connector.
   Note: Connect the Type-A male to the micro-B USB cable to the micro-B DEBUG USB port to power and debug the SAM E70 Xplained Ultra Evaluation Kit only.
4. In the MPLAB X IDE Project Properties Window:
   1. Under the left Categories pane, select Conf: [pic32cz_ca90_cult].
   2. In the right Configuration properties page:
      1. For the Connected Hardware Tool, select PIC32CZ CA90 Curiosity Ultra.
      2. For the Compilar Toolchain, click and expand XC32 and then select XC32 (V4.45).
         Note: Users need to select Conf: [sam_e70_xult] for the SAM E70 Xplained Ultra Evaluation Kit as shown below.

5. Click Apply, and then click OK.
6. To build the project, click on the Clean and Build icon or select Clean and Build Main Project from the drop-down item list and verify that the project builds successfully. At this point, the application code can be implemented.

7. Program the application by clicking the Program the Device icon.
