2.2.1 USB Mass Storage (Drag and Drop)

One way to program the device is to drag and drop a .hex file into the CURIOSITY drive. The XC8 compiler tool chain generates a .hex file for each project it builds. This .hex file contains the code of the project. The USB debugger facilitates putting code into the board by having this drag and drop feature. This feature does not require any USB driver to be installed and works in all major operating system environments. Alternative application example .hex files for the board firmware will be available for download from the Downloads section at the bottom of the CIP Hybrid Power Starter Kit webpage.
