3.2 Test Application Configurations

  • Disable Generate Fuse Settings:

    Generally, fuse configuration settings are programmed through the programming tool. In the reference application discussed in this document, the fuse settings are disabled due to the application being programmed through the bootloader.

    Note: The fuse settings are not programmable through firmware. Enabling the fuse settings increases the size of the binary when generated through the Hex file.
  • Application Start Address (Hex):
    • Start address of the application.
    • The application start address value must be equal to or greater than the Flash base address + bootloader size.
    • An application start address value will be used by the bootloader to jump to the application at device reset. It must match the value provided to the bootloader code during generation as shown in Application Start Address Configuration.
    • The application start address will be used to generate the MPLAB XC32 compiler settings to place the code at the intended address as shown in the following figure and Test Application Project Settings.
