3.1 Firmware Requirements

For each new device type added to Microchip's family of secure products, the firmware of the host application board or boards that it is used with must be updated. This firmware is typically referred to as “Kit Protocol” and allows for identification of the device or devices on the board. It provides the basic infrastructure to communicate to the boards with higher-level software tools.

It is recommended that the host application boards be kept up-to-date with the latest version of the firmware to take advantage of any enhancements or bug fixes that may have been implemented. The latest version of the software can be downloaded from the kit website along with the procedure on how to upgrade the Kit Protocol firmware on the board.
