PIC32MZ EF FAMILY STARTER KIT
USER’S GUIDE
Chapter 2. Hardware
This chapter describes the hardware features of the PIC32MZ EF Family Starter Kit.
2.1 HARDWARE FEATURES
The following key features of the starter kit are presented in the order given in
Section 1.2 “Starter Kit Functionality and Features”. Refer to Figure 1-1 for their
locations on the development board.
2.1.1 Processor Support
Depending on the starter kit purchased, the development board is designed with a
permanently mounted (i.e., soldered) processor, which is either the
PIC32MZ2048EFM144 (Crypto Engine) or the PIC32MZ2048EFH144.
2.1.2 Power Supply
There are three ways to supply power to the starter kit:
• USB bus power connected to USB debug connector J1
• USB bus power connected to the micro-USB connector J4. Note that debugging
does not take place through this connector.
• An external application board with a regulated DC power supply that provides +5V
can be connected to the J2 application board connector that is provided on the
bottom side of the board
One green LED (D3) is provided to indicate the PIC32 device is powered up.
2.1.3 Debug USB Connectivity
The starter kit includes a PIC24FJ256GB106 USB microcontroller that provides
debugger connectivity over USB. The PIC24FJ256GB106 is hard-wired to the PIC32
device to provide protocol translation through the I/O pins of the PIC24FJ256GB106 to
the In-Circuit Serial Programming™ (ICSP™) pins of the PIC32 device.
If an external debugger such as MPLAB REAL ICE or MPLAB ICD 3 are used with the
starter kit, it is necessary to disconnect the on-board debugger from the PIC32 device.
To do this, remove the JP2 jumper. When the on-board debugger is required, replace
the JP2 jumper. When the JP2 jumper is installed, pin 1 must be connected to pin 3 and
pin 2 must be connected to pin 4.
