6.4.1 Building and Running the OTA Demo Application

To build the application, perform the following steps:

1. Open the project file (apps/wifi/ota_wincs02_demo/ota_pic32wm_bw1_curiosity.X) in MPLAB® X IDE.
2. For more details on opening the project file in MPLAB X IDE, refer to the Opening, Building and Programming the Existing Application section of the WINCS02 Application Developer’s Guide in the Reference Documentation from Related Links.

The following steps describe how to run the OTA demo application for the WINCS02 firmware update on the PIC32WM-BW1 Curiosity Board, using the project built from the ota_pic32wm_bw1_curiosity.x:

1. Connect the USB Type-C® cable to supply power to the PIC32WM-BW1 Curiosity Board.
2. Open the project and launch MCC Harmony3.
3. Configure the Home-AP credentials for the STA mode and set the SNTP IP address using the WINCS02 Wi-Fi® configuration options.
