CURIOSITY LOW PIN COUNT DEVELOPMENT
BOARD USER’S GUIDE
Chapter 2. Getting Started
The Curiosity Low Pin Count (LPC) Development Board contains a PICkit On-Board
(PKOB) which allows for both low-voltage programming and low-voltage in-circuit
debugging for all supported devices. When used with the MPLAB IDE, in-circuit
debugging allows the user to run, modify, and troubleshoot their custom software and
hardware quickly, without the need for additional debugging tools.
2.1
PROGRAMMING THE CURIOSITY LOW PIN COUNT (LPC) DEVELOPMENT
BOARD
Programming the Curiosity LPC Development Board can be accomplished through
MPLAB X IDE (version 3.30 or higher for Rev 2 and version 5.20 or higher for Rev 4).
2.1.1
Programming Using MPLAB
®
X IDE
1. Connect the Curiosity LPC Board to the computer using the on-board micro-USB
connector.
2. Open MPLAB X IDE and either create a new project or open an existing one.
3. Click on the
Project
Properties
icon located in the project’s Dashboard window
(as seen in
). Alternatively, the Project Properties window can be
opened by clicking on
File > Project Properties
, or by right clicking on the project
name in the Projects window and clicking
Properties
.
Note:
The Curiosity LPC Board must be programmed using Low-Voltage
Programming (LVP). The LVP bit of the Configuration Word(s) must be set
(LVP = ON or ‘
1
’).
