2.2.4 Preprogrammed MCP19114 - Flyback Stand-Alone Evaluation
Board
The MCP19114 - Flyback Stand-Alone Evaluation Board comes with preprogrammed
firmware installed to operate with the GUI. To reprogram the device, the following tools
are required:
• MPLAB X IDE (version 1.5 or later)
• MPLAB
®
XC8 C Compiler (v1.3 or later)
• MCP19114 - Flyback Stand-Alone Firmware
• MCP19114 - Flyback Stand-Alone Evaluation Board
• PICkit™ 3 In-Circuit Debugger/Programmer
Follow the steps to install all necessary software and start reprogramming the
MCP19114 device:
1. If MPLAB X is already installed, go to Step 2. If not, download MPLAB X from:
www.microchip.com/mplabx , and follow the MPLAB X installation instructions.
2. If an XC8 compatible C-compiler, or an equivalent, is already installed in
MPLAB X, go to Step 3. If not, you can download a free version of Microchip's
XC8 from:
www.microchip.com/mplabxc . The XC8 user guide, installation
instructions, and download links are available on this page.
3. Download the MCP19114 - Flyback Stand-Alone Firmware (*.zip) from
www.microchip.com/mcp19114 under "Documentation & Software/Software".
4. Unzip the MCP19114 - Flyback Stand-Alone Firmware archive. Place the
MCP19114 project folder in the desired folder location.
5. Power up the MCP19114 - Flyback Stand-Alone Evaluation Board.
6. Connect the PICkit 3 In-Circuit Debugger to the MCP19114 - Flyback
Stand-Alone Evaluation Board via the 6-pin connector J3, as seen in
Figure 2-3
(for more information about PICkit 3 In-Circuit Debugger refer to the “PICkit™ 3
In-Circuit Debugger/Programmer User’s Guide For MPLAB® X IDE” - DS52116).
Note: When installed, MPLAB X IDE automatically creates a project folder. In
Windows
®
, this folder can typically be found under
drive\Users\ user_name \MPLABXProjects
.
