1.1.17 PIC32CX-BZ2 and WBZ451 Curiosity Development Board: Building and Running the I2C Bootloader applications

Path of the application within the repository is apps/i2c_bootloader/

To build the application, refer to the following table and open the project using its IDE.

Bootloader Application

Test Application

Setting up PIC32CX-BZ2 and WBZ451 Curiosity Development Board

• SAM E54 Xplained Pro Evaluation Kit is used for Host Development kit and PIC32CX-BZ2 and WBZ451 Curiosity Development Board is used for Target Development kit

  

• Connect the pin 11 of EXT3 of the Host development kit to the I2C SDA line of the Target development kit

• Connect the pin 12 of EXT3 of the Host development kit to the I2C SCL line of the Target development kit

• Connect a ground wire between the Host development kit and Target development kit

• Connect the Debug USB port on the Host development kit to the computer using a micro USB cable

• Connect the Debug USB port on the Target development kit to the computer using a micro USB cable

Using I2C SDCARD Host application to send the application binary to Target development kit

If the SDCARD Host Development Kit being used is other than SAM E54 Xplained Pro Evaluation Kit then follow the steps mentioned in Configuring SDCARD Host application project

1. Open the SDCARD host application project host_app_sdcard/firmware/sam_e54_xpro.X in the IDE

   • If a SDCARD host application project of different development kit is used then open that project in the IDE

2. Build and program the SDCARD host application using the IDE on to the I2C host dvelopment kit

3. Open the test application project test_app/firmware/wbz451_curiosity.X in the IDE

4. Build the project to generate the binary (Do not program the binary)

5. Copy the application binary into the SD card and insert the SD card in the SD card slot available on the SAM E54 Xplained Pro Evaluation Kit

6. Open the Terminal application (Ex.:Tera Term) on the computer

7. Configure the serial port settings for Host Development kit as follows:

   • Baud : 115200

   • Data : 8 Bits

   • Parity : None

   • Stop : 1 Bit

   • Flow Control : None

8. Jump to Running The Application

Running the Application

1. Open the bootloader project bootloader/firmware/wbz451_curiosity.X in the IDE

2. Build and program the application using the IDE on to the Target development kit

   • USER_LED will be turned-on to indicate that bootloader code is running on the target

   • USER_LED will also turn on when the bootloader does not find a valid application; i.e. the first word of the application (stack pointer), contains 0xFFFFFFFF

3. If the test application is being programmed, Open the Terminal application (Ex.:Tera Term) on the computer and configure the serial port settings for Target Development kit as follows:

   • Baud : 115200

   • Data : 8 Bits

   • Parity : None

   • Stop : 1 Bit

   • Flow Control : None

4. Press the Switch SW0 on the Host development kit to trigger programming of the application binary

5. Once the programming is complete,

   • USER_LED** on the Host development kit will be turned on indicating success

   • If SDCARD Host application was used to program the application binary following message will be displayed on the terminal of Host development kit

     

   • The target development kit will be reset. Upon re-start, the boot-loader will jump to the user application

   • If the test application is programmed then GREEN_LED should start blinking and you should see below output on the Target development kit console

     

6. Press and hold the reset Switch SW1, Press user Switch SW2 and release reset Switch SW1 to trigger Bootloader. No output message displays on serial port.

7. Press Reset button on the Host development kit to reprogram the application binary

8. Repeat Steps 4-5 once

   • This step is to verify that bootloader is running after triggering bootloader from test application in Step 6

Using SDCARD Host application

• If multiple Target development kit are to be programmed using the same Host development kit then refer to Configuring SDCARD Host application project

• Once done repeat the applicable steps mentioned in Running The Application
